Watching with interest. How about gear shift gate like manual Italian supercars. Never took gaiter off so unsure what else lurks below :thumbsdown:

Roundels and skid plates sound fun. Can the metal be shaped? If so, steering wheel inserts

Gates not wide enough for this.

 

[Bing]

The plates I have are not an absolute perfect fit... I'd be interested in better fitting ones.

Just don't take the passenger side, I had a 'mare getting all the screw holes to line up

Under car protection plates and roundels sound the best. Could possibly do roundels with "///M" logo cut out for ///M owners only . For the standard BMW roundels would you think just the letters "BMW" or would it need to replicate the existing roundels with the quadrants?? cut out? Quite like the idea of the roundels as they would be "z4" specific as no other car could use them realistically. The protection plates sound relatively easy without seeing what is involved but would need some form of template ideally.

What about keyrings?
Not the biggest money spinner but a lot of people might be interested.
I got a couple made when we bought ours as you cannot buy these.

Yep, key rings seem a possibility.

Is it just metal? Can you cut Perspex?

This all sounds good Dan!
What's the name of your company? We use quite a lot of laser cut tooling at work so we could maybe get some quotes off you for future jobs?
I work with PVD coatings if anyone's interested? Can do parts like this http://www.caricos.com/cars/a/aston_martin/2015_aston_martin_db9_carbon_edition/1024x768/115.html

So, once the guy who does the drawings has time to do the design we should have 10 sets of roundels replicating the existing BMW logo and 10 sets with the ///M logo. Not sure on price yet but should have an idea shortly as will be cost price. Will see how they come out and post pictures ASAP. They will be cut from 3mm thick brushed 316 grade stainless steel. I'm hoping they will look good.

They will look better if you can put a nice big chamfer on the edge They would just need spinning up on a lathe.

im up for some roundels maybe just with a Z etched onto them? also like the splitter idea

 

[Roundozo]

Strut brace would be nice! Can anyone who has one provide measurements?

Will see if anyone local would do it and the cost. Trying to keep them as cheap as possible.

Definitely do-able, will see how popular/un-popular the first ones are and if more people want just a ''Z'' then we could do some.

I can do them maybe.... Say £1 a set but i would want to do say 20+ at a time.

That sounds ok, I've got 20 ///M roundels and 20 BMW that should be ready end of next week (Bank Holiday Mania Allowing).
