I've still got the first handbrake gaiter I ordered which had single rather than double silver stitching. If anyone can make use of it ill pass it on. I only kept it incase I mucked up this one. I'll post up in the FS section

Great job mate! I got my single stitch available too! Kept it for the same reason!! 
2 people can now benefit! Horar!
Been a good weekend planning the wiring etc for my push button install.
My plans now are:
Keep the original alarm as it is.
Not use the automatic door opening / closing function cos I don't think I would trust it to work every time! I'd always second guess weather it armed or not!!
So I will be opening and closing the car with the new key fob I did.
I will be putting the transponder from the push start kit in my new key fob so that acts as the new immobiliser. Car will not start without the key being present in the car.
Looking to start this after next weekend

Cheers Luke. Glad you did it first as once the old gaiter is off there is that OMG! no going back feeling. When I was sticking it all together with Evostick I must admit I was beginning to wonder why I had started it but it was well worth it. It certainly doesn't look DIY 
BTW had a look at your business website earlier, do you have any dealings with a friend of mine Phill Shakesheff from Portable Conveyors at Albrighton?

Good work guys. Haven not even driven mine for a week 
let alone any mods...
That's going to change Friday right Luke

Evo stick instant contact (in the tube) smear a bit on both surfaces and let dry before contact. Sticks instantly funnily enough. Just do a small section at a time. Probably took me about 2 hrs start to finish!BPM-Z4R said:

Hi Luke I have sent you a few emails hope all is well? I have a half day Friday do you fancy putting these exhausts on?
Gutted the Quad is not on yet! Times just haven't been able to match up the last few weeks
Touch wood this Friday goes to plan and the systems are done!
Just ordered some new disks and pads too for the rear. Which I'll hopefully have to fit Friday morning before MachineMonkey arrives with some goodies

Hi mate, thanks for the comments on the wheels! I love them
The offsets are: Fronts 8.5 x 19 ET44 and Rear - 9.5 x 19 ET27
I run a 15mm spacer at the front to push the fronts out slightly more too
I did get my rear arches rolled because of how low the car is, so they fit properly!

Easy mod mate. Have a browse here http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=15035&start=165
Thanks a lot for that mate, I love how you spaced the fronts further.
It was the offset of the rears I was buying (off of M3cutters) that worried me, sticking out 36mm more than standard scared me). As I'm not lowering (yet :evil: ) I shouldn't have any issues right?
I'm going to be a further thorn in your side just one more time if that's OK? Your connects2 unit, do you have a link? I've been looking for one that literally just plugs in where the cd changer does but I was having difficulty finding it!
I'm sad you and machine monkey aren't closer, as like the pair of you I like fettling etc, so I'd love to come down to the workshops and get involved. So far this is my least modified car

I don't imagine so, no. I ran these for a few weeks without lowering springs on and before rolling the arches and had no issues. Mine are the same figment as the M wheels so proof it fits fine
I bought my connects unit from Ranski on here. No idea where he got it from. Easiest iPod install by far though! Took 2 mins! Drop him a PM and ask him mate
So, was speaking with my wife last night and asked her to check the spoiler (as I haven't seen it yet) and make sure it's the right one as there is only 4 more days to raise a dispute if its not the right one! Her response... I don't want to check! Just have a look and see :trampoline: :yeah: will have a gander this evening and take a quick pic or two!
Hi Luke I might have a few jobs to do on Friday suspension bushes!?!? If not and your playing with your zed early fitting brakes I am off all day I might be able to pop over early lend a hand??
I guess we are still on? Can't wait to fit these exhausts.
