Hello all.

Since owning my Z i have done a few mods that hopefully will not get slated. i have only owned the car for 3 weeks now but things always need to be perfect in my world and as some people can relate its nice to make a car your own :)

So here is my little thread of Bettsie the Z4 2.2 :p

when i first purchased the car:

First things first was to attend to the headlight coloring/fogging.

Next was a DAB and blue tooth radio, i love the original look of the genuine radio but need more accessibility so this seemed like the best and slightly cheaper option.
I will add i have done this properly with the steering wheel adapter.

Genuine BMW stubby aerial.

Led sidelights were a must to compliment the xneons (not a great pic)

After waiting a few weeks, I have had confirmation of my plate transfer so opted for pressed plates.

And last but not least so far!
I purchased a n/s rear light with the fog light in place of the reverse light and sourced red tint and done the much loved all red rear clusters. i thought that purchasing the n/s cluster this would leave me the option to just pop in the clear reverse light in case it was ever needed.

Some I think you did a good job on! Aerial was definitely needed! Stumpy aerials ftw! :thumbsup: Not a big fan of changing the stereo from the standard bmw system for a custom one however. In all my previous cars I have always upgraded the stereo because as you say, it is easier to link phones through bluetooth or USB which you dont get with the BMW stereo. However, personally I kept it and just use a fm radio transmitter which is powered off the cigarette lighter which works well! Everything else you have done looks great! Nice one!
