My Z4 28i

[JimsZ]

Nice 8)

How much if you don't. Mind telling?

Too cheap imo! £480 posted. Including new pads and basically new discs! They seem to sell for £400 just for the calipers.

Not bad at all :thumbsup

Calipers look a decent upgrade, are you also doing something with the rears?

OEM Brakes are a bit of a let down on theses IMO so what you are doing is great 8)

I need to stop spending my pocket money on motorbikes and trackdays as until I do mines never gonna see any upgrades

Nothing I can do with the rears unfortunately due to the electronic handbrake so they’ll just be painted matching blue

That steering wheel makes you want to drive the car even more, I'll bet.
The pedals look a bit slippery, though. Are they?

I think the metal pedals have rubber inserts Buster, (made from non rf rubber, for increased grip) :wink:

inflated to 28psi

Steady now. 28's a bit high for some of the guys round here.

Order them, if you don’t like them I’ll swap

Just purchased, let's see how long snail mail takes to get them from China, out of interest did you buy genuine or 3rd party for the black kidney grills? Found genuine ones on ebay for £45 per side but the 3rd party ones look more glossy to me, could be just the lighting used in the pictures though, like you I am just concerned about fitment of 3rd party ones.

I bought some pattern grills for my e89 & almost pushed the car backwards attempting to click them into place.
I admitted defeat & splashed out on genuine ones which clicked into place like well oiled machinery

That's exactly my concern, I've had mixed results in the past with pattern parts, think I will have to settle for spending £90 on the genuine ones just to be on the safe side.

I purchased the £50 ones from eBay, fitted perfectly!

Postage from China may take a while! But it’s a nice little surprise when it finally arrives!

I’ve purchased new mats that were meant to be here on the 15th, finally got the tracking details and they were sent 2 days ago

I have an set of genuine grills - wrapped in black

Today was an exciting day, my brakes were due to be delivered, I got home to this...





Luckily my neighbours like me!



These are huge in the flesh! Pads must be twice the size of the standard brakes, I cannot wait to get these on!

 

[JimsZ]

They look amazing, keep us posted with pics

 

[BeardyJon]

Haha so subtly hidden under that matt

 

[SteveSmith]

Got my brakes fitted!

 

[mr wilks]

Nice touch there 8) :wink:

Got a certain set of H&R springs to go on the front as well to get it sitting lower!

Paint rear calipers
Fit front springs
Wrap splitter and rear valance

Then I think I’m definitely done. I’ve got to keep it for a good few years now as it’s been an expensive winter!

 

[SteveSmith]

Finally decided the rear end needed something, this is just test fitted so far but I’m very impressed so far!

 

[Smartbear]

I like that because it’s so minimal, the whale tail versions just make me cringe

Thanks Rob!

I could have it colour coded to be even more subtle but the carbon weave does look good!!

It also follows the 2 lines down the roof and the bootlid so looks kind of OEM

I’m glad I took the risk and bought one now! Will hopefully have it fitted properly tomorrow!

H&R front springs are being fitted on BH Monday, then the interior is being wrapped in this incredible carbon look vinyl.

I’m going to be going a bit crazy with the speaker upgrade soon I think. I been talked in to the new Audison speakers and Audison amp. Looking forward to enjoying music again in a car!

 

[BeardyJon]

Oh! I like that. I've seen similar spoilers to that with the notch in the middle and always thought they'd not look good vs ones that are a continuous curve across and actually, I think this is better. Nice work.
