Looks like good job and brave to paint a car that colour i like 
Just a suggestion have you thought of wrapping the front and rear bumper bars just to break it up.

Liking that....
Thankyou for that i will try and get it cleaned and some pictures by then but have to work all weekend which is a pain where do the pictures have to be sent too? thanks again for the good comments!Bing said:Once she's buffed up you have to get a photo in this month's competition - still 8 days to go, surely has a chance of winning a month in the calendar
Thanks everyone again for all the positive comments! A hell of alot more than i was expecting to get as i know with a colour like that its not going to be for everyone but i guess thats what makes us all different! i have always liked orange with black wheels ever since i used to work for lotus selling exiges in orange with black wheels and because the z4 is a 2 seater sports car i thought the car would carry the colour off and i think it looks great also with the black roof breaking it up.Also some great ideas from people on further mods my next jobs are to fit the eibach springs i have ready and waiting i also have black and carbon badges to replace every blue and white badge on the car and the biggest job is to find someone who can make me a custom quad exhaust as i dont want to drive the car till this is done. I have only had one quote so far and that was a company in birmingham that said £550 i was hopeing i could get it abit cheaper than that can anybody help me with this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!cheers paul.
Topgear performance in Doncaster did mine and consequently quite a few other people's on here. Can't recommend them enough. Contact Brett on 01302 337722. They charge around £350 mark for my original setup which is basically a cross over 't' piece behind the rear bumper. They will charge you more though for the setup I have now. Both setups are great though!!
Car looks awesome by the way. Well done!!!

Your right im not a fan of black wheels normally but on orange they dont look right silver its to much brightness it didnt look right i waited on the wheels till the car was painted then had them done and it looked loads better!Dice said:Wow, very nice and very brave
Anyway, I wonder how your car would look with the alloys in oem color.
Cheers

Both systems are loud. First one was louder than the second but both sound fantastic IMO. First system basically did away with the back box completely. There were pops and bangs a plenty it was just slightly too noisy on the motorway for me though as i spend alot of time on motorways. The second setup as I have now basically pipes up both sides independently from the mid section to the rear. I have also introduced a back box on the left hand side together with a replacement mid silencer and two booster silencers after the mid silencer. All silencers are powerflow silencers which are straight through so I have also noticed a slight increase in urgency. I also went for different exit pipes on the second setup as i feel the dtm style look better with the carbon rear diffuser.
With regards price I can't let you know what they would charge for the second setup as mine was done at cost as a favour and also as a guinea pig I suppose. I would have thought somewhere In the region of what you were quoted from the company in Birmingham.. Longlife exhausts I presume?
Hope this helps you mate
