Wow. . .like the work you've done on your Zed Matt. 
(Upping the side walls to ///M sizes should make the ride a little better as well as looking good )
Like the under hood (we call it the bonnet over here) light - excellent. (You could say brilliant :lol: )
Just one thing - how about darkening the BMW logos on the indicator and bonnet boot badges? Some owners have replaced them with red and white or black and white, even carbon fibre look alike logos.

I like the idea of darkening the emblems but decided its time to curb the spending a bit. I ordered SS brake lines, CDV delete, M-series steering wheel. All ready added the alarm (and dealer charged $200 to program it), half cover and so on.....
Before you know it, it will be $10+k in mods, thats how my super charged 4x4 Toyota Tacoma went anyway. :?
) Yes have M seats - it's a roadster - my first zed was also a roadster but with normal seats - I do think the M seats have less room !
I know what you mean about the "looks " you get climbing in and out of the car - it's an art ! You describe it as "tiny " but over here it's a lot bigger than the usual MGF's and MX5's - over there I presume you have a lot of big muscle American sports cars.

Yes we have a lot of big vehicles over here, you have to drive in like a race car or you get cut off non stop.
Thanks for confirming the M-seats, I'm to long legged for the M-seats. Very disappointing!

The lights are excellent, although I fear you'll more than lighting to check the oil, as the 3.0si doesn't have a dipstick. I spent 15 minutes looking for mine.
Welcome along and the zed looks
Who makes a car without a dip stick?? so frustrating having to go inside the car and wait for the car to give me a reading, then come back and add more oil. I added 7 qts and it still showed a little low that day, few days later it showed it was correct.
O-well the free DIY mod came a lot brighter than I expected!
I note you said 'half cover' matt - be careful. There has been much posted about heavy half covers scratching the paintwork when used. My mate's black Zed was terribly marked by such a cover. I've had three types of half covers and stopped using the two heavier (proofed fabric) types due to them hazing and scratching the paint. I now only use a light plastic type. You can do a search and read more on the forum.

Wise man
Project Bike rack:
After a bunch of research on the net, I picked up a 2" to 1 1/4" hitch adapter and created this sculpture.
The "rabbit ears" bolt to the steel bumper.
Very please with how it came out, the hitch sits tight up against the bumper cover and a ways back.
