So i have trawled the net and found instructions on fitting the z4m front bumper ( I already have one fitted so no need), but i am just about to retrofit the rear, because i am installing the quad backbones from the z4m. Does anyone have a how to or any pointers before starting. My car is a 3.0si coupe so rear lights should be fine.

Hey Byron,
Thanks so much mate... i'm excited now... fun little project and i have all the parts i need including the heat shields. I'm going to start photographing it all and i'll get a post together. The scrap dealers sent me the wrong water pump today to fix the z which is slowing things down! Would be great to meet up... i'm loving the sound of your M... we'll get together once i get the z sorted! I'll get some pics of the S2000 on here too.... the z is great, but nothing screams like an s2000 at 9000RPM.... now i really need to take a leaf out of your book and start thinking about supercharging it.

Bit more work for you then as the ///m rear has a pair of diffuser channels to mate to, running out to the mesh vents.

IIRC the battery box was an obstacle to building in the venturi's. I'm sure you're competent to fab up something though to mate the leading lower edge to
Thanks. I could only find the front bumper writeup. I'll have another look.
I cut and plastic welded the battery box exactly as CJ10jeeper did... using his guides and then i'm using an Odyssey pc680 battery which is tiny... the only thing is it doesn't seem to be holding much power... i think it may be a bad one. I have heard a lot of the z4m guys using the pc680's without a hitch, so i have deep charged it and will see if that helps. If not, i'll be asking for a new one, because it should be holding power for more than 24hrs! Most people say they have left them for a week with no problems.

The odyssey should easily run the Zed. My Hawker has been on for a couple of years without issue. On a few really cold mornings when not run for days or started and stopped withiut driving, hood up, etc., I've had the low battery warning, but it still spins the engine perfectly and sorts itself out after a mile or so. If you have issue you could fix a tandem battery in the lower NS inner wing. Lots of room and easy to pick up the mains and earth points.
On the bumper I expect you will have to rig up some centre support underneath at the ///m points won't be there and the bumper won't match the battery box mount point. Minor issue after all you've done so far..
