Hello Everyone
My wife and I purchased a Z4 back in mid January and since then I look in on this forum most days and have picked up a lot of useful tips and information.
We have been tinkering with it and making a few changes to personalise it and get it to our liking. The car is a 2003 2.5i SE in Sterling Grey with hardtop, SMG gearbox, electric adjust/heated seats etc and has had 2 lady owners and only covered 53,500m when purchased. We absolutely love our 'Zed' to bits, even more so now after fitting 18" MV3 alloys with non-run flat Avon ZZ5's. Wow ! What a transformation in looks, roadholding, handling, noise, ride quality and comfort ! It feels like a different car.
Anyway, we think the car now looks pretty good too so here are a few photos.

Welcome!! Sterling grey is undoubtedly the best colour :thumbsup:

Did you de-tango the headlights yourself or did you buy it like it? It's on my 'to do' list!
 
Hi,

Welcome to 'THE FORUM'
Excellent looking Z you have!
What's the spec on the inside? PHOTOS!!! :rofl:

Slaandjivaar :thumbsup:
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome and nice comments about the car. It really was a good find with the hardtop, Sterling Grey paint, equipment and low mileage and I was smitten the second I saw it !
In reply to a couple of your questions :- I changed the complete headlight units for 2Xcite Black Angel Eyes units to give it a more contemporary look and to tie in with the grey/black/tech/stealth scheme I was after.
I have not fitted any wheelspacers. The wheels are standard MV3's, 8Jx18" ET34 front and 8.5Jx18" ET37 rear. They were superbly refurbished by
alloytechrefurbedrims.co.uk, from whom I purchased them.
I have also Plastidip'd the front grilles in black and finished them in 'Glossifier' to match the gloss black wheels.
The interior spec is black leather/brushed aluminium trim with elec.adjustable/heated seats, auto aircon, cruise contol, rain sensor wipers.
It looked like this when I collected the car back in January :



Since then I have indulged in a little carbon wrapping of a few pieces of trim which now look like this :



 
Great looking Z.
Maybe been lowered? I do like those round foglights - they look so much better than the ones I have - enjoy!
