Fitted Dipped Beam HID replacements

Cheers Norman. I'll get the car up and have a look when I get a kit. I've done it on a TVR and an Elise, and it was ok. I may look at just removing the bumper...

Which TVR did you downgrade from to buy a Z4? :evil:

 

[Wildfire]

I didn't. I've still got the TVR. I bought the Z4 to run as a regular car (shopping, getting about, whilst still having fun).

I've been running a tuned Pre-Cat Griffith (Stage 4 heads, custom manifolds and exhaust, fully mapped ignition, carbon trumpets, carbon plenum, carbon airbox, triple Jenvy throttle bodies, K&N custom induction) for about 10 years and it's not really suitable as an run about. She's getting on a bit (20 years) and needs some TLC this/next year. So I wanted something fun and reliable to use. Plus the gf can't/won't/isn't allowed to drive her.

I work from home so don't drive too much.

Usually I ride a motor bikes, but since moving in with the gf, she's not too keen on the bike in winter.

Done a few years back now, the wadding in the exhaust has sort of gone.

Nice sound!!

I went from a 1990 S2 3ltr Ford V6 known as Gerald especially on Pistonheads, it was a high days and holidays car but a combination of osteoarthritis and needing to keep cost down moved on to the Z as an everyday car but miss the character of the car very much

Norman, I think we spoke around 2003/4 when I was selling my Cooper Green TVR S3? I was very active on the S cicuit when I had one. I was at S Club Heaven 2&3.

I had the S3 with the one off JP straight through system, S style exit, but V8 sized pipes.

I didnt get Gerald until 2007 so I think we missed each other, never mind at least we have met up now.

Here's Gerald at Prescott Hill Climb 2010

I love the S Series cars, wish I still had one. Gerald sounds great on the hill climb!

I think I know you're username on PH. Obviously I am Wildfire on there (and have been since PH started).

Gerald-TVR didnt seem appropriate on here

Just finished fitting the HID kit from the OP, I'm very impressed with the overall quality of the kit for the price. I decided to take the bumper off and lights out, it took me about an hour and a half from start to finish. Cant wait for it to get dark now so I can go test them out.
