Luke and his Z - Getting there!

[LukeMace]

Picture of the temporary replacement Alcantara wheel from Royal Steering Wheels :

It's grown on me a little with the cold mornings and the wheel is still nice and warm to touch but I'm still not a huge fan!

 

[LukeMace]

After a busy few mins reading through a few threads Ive now seen my favorite rear bumper design...

Stunning!

 

[LukeMace]

So for all the tint haters out there... This is for you...!

 

[LukeMace]

Just bought a replacement rear passenger light too.
Just can't live with the cracked one
Will pop the cracked one for sale, someone can try and save it better than I tried!

 

[ranski]

much better without the tint

 

[LukeMace]

much better without the tint

Cheers!
I think so too

Frustrating thing getting the stupid tint spray off though! Tried some thinners at work which didn't shift a thing then got home and asked my wife if she has some nail polish remover (read that the acetone did the job well) and hey presto... Came off really well! Never realised just how strong the stuff was!!

Yeah I really like the fresh bright look of the facelift rears un-tinted

 

[Beetlegav]

Much more fresh that!

 

[chrisba]

That's better!

 

[LukeMace]

Glad it's been approved then

So I am picking up my steering wheel on Tuesday morning and can't wait! Jack has said he will send some pictures either this evening or tomorrow morning so will pop them here when he sends them through

 

[LukeMace]

Picked this puppy up from Jack today at Royal Steering Wheels, it's been said a million times but the work is just brilliant! Wheel feels fantastic and really makes you feel like you are driving a new car

 

[LukeMace]

Looking to make a start on the subframes for the new seats too tomorrow. All goes well I'll have at least the drivers side done! (Only have lunch break to tinker at the min!)

They change the wheel for you and give you a temp wheel whilst they do the work on yours
Simples!!

Haha!! Thanks mate! They do look much better!
I'll drop you a PM

 

[Beetlegav]

Aye I know but that costs an extra £100 which I don't have spare currently

Looking great Luke love the wheel and the lights. I am actually swaying towards tinting mine and removing some ginger!!

Did you really not like the alcantara one? I was thinking of getting mine done in that stuff?

 

[RJS-Z4]

The wheel looks great Luke, I fitted mine this weekend (there's a thread somewhere) and you're right, it does feel like an actual different car! So much more modern!

I have a spare one, it's had the leather removed, but if it's being re-trimmed it's no issue.

Don't do it! (De-ginger)

Alcantara just isn't tough enough for a wheel IMO, leather is so durable, and alcantara can start to look very tired after a few months, which defeats the point of having it done

Thanks Rob i might be wanting to borrow this spare wheel at some point as well.
