Our new Z4 needs your styling and tweaking advice!

Fair enough, only used the GapTech myself and have always wondered if the roof would cope with going up on the move etc, specially at the higher speeds like 55 km/h as it's a giant scoop.

On an unrelated note, might have to nick your signature gif

Probably not a mod we will be doing any time soon though!

Any back box suggestions would be welcome though, or good websites for Z4 bits?

I've used MStyle in the past to get hold of the black kidney grills, had a second set delivered today for my new Z when I pick it up. They look good on stratus grey, image below.

Never looked into backboxes for my 4-pot, JE has a custom setup on his 4-pot. He may know.

Don't understand why you want to remove the whip aerial for a stubby. By all means go ahead if you want degraded radio performance!

Mmm...liking those black grills! Still not picked up the car - they are saying tomorrow now...I'm happy they want the time to get things spot on!

Anyone out there got any more back box ideas?

I looked up the suggested shift knob on eBay, but couldn't find any...anywhere else o get them? Funnily enough it's one of the few tatty bits in the cockpit!

Looks a lovely Zed and those wheels look good with the Stratus colour.

I loved my 2.0 litre sport and can recommend the 4 pot as being just what you describe - a great car for maximising it's potential without busting your licence and costing the earth in petrol. I also bought my first Zed after owning a Mk 2 MX5 - fabulous cars. I think you will love the Zed - but it took me time to get used to the ride and steering after the MX.

Looking forward to your posts and welcome!

Hey Disca, noticed you got white leather seats, what do you use to clean them and recondition the whiteness? at the risk of being flamed for hijacking the thread, you can pm me if you like?

Funnily enough I just used the leather cleaner the parents had for the sofa

Can't remember what the brand was as not home till tomorrow but can have a look if you are that interested in what random stuff we had

Not gone out of my way to buy leather cleaner just yet.

Hi Martin have a look at the bypass mod. It sounds great with some of wadding removed on the 2.0l your not a million miles from me. If you can't find a back box I would be happy to help you mod your one.

I have a specialized pitch sat in my shed I have not used for years. I used to chuck myself down welsh and Scottish mountains all the time. Even took the DH rig to the alps
