Hi
Just got my 2003 Z4 3.0i with which I Am very happy but I need advise on a few issues please

1/. What is a stubby? Am I right in guessing it is a replacement shorter Ariel ? If so ar they easy to replace and where do I get one

2/.My headlamps are misty ( not condensation but more like the plastic lens is marked and it seems to be on the inside)

3/. Is the BMW badge on the boot lid easy to replace?

Thanks for your help guys

welcome need pics of course

1 yes, get them all over the place mine of fleabay and the old one unscrews.

2 bet its condensation use a hir dryer after taking the back off, if not you may need to get a polishing kit for the glass.

3 yes but be careful, someone with more knowledge on this one will be along soon
 
Evening... it's your first post so there will be an avalanche of where's the pics comments along soon.

So firstly, welcome... A stubby's a short Ariel replacement about the length of your thumb, try polishing toothpaste on your headlamps as helps to shine & clear them up & yes the rear badge does pry off... Though wait for someone to tell u how with an old credit card, not a screwdriver
