So I managed to get the roof down!

and although these are utter rubbish in chrome they got me through the MOT as a replacement for my side indicators

She a beauty to drive with the modifications to the arches. No scraping at all!

Really impressed you got it through the MOT. Those mirrors wouldn't be oh so bad painted, the angle if them seems to suit. I still think lambo mirrors would be awesome and stretch out to the rear hips.

When is the paint job planned for & what colour ?
I see that as the transformation from "ugly duckling" if you get the colour right & lose the white alloy look
wrong colour & epic fail with full barryboys SoTY awaits http://www.barryboys.co.uk/photos15/610b6efd5a0754a89db05f9897aad07e.jpg

Looking good Brad. One thing that has alway detracted my eye on this is the odd dip in the grille area. Was this done intentionally???

Excellent news that it's got mot!

Huge congrats on reddit! You're pretty much the newest internet sensation now Brad!

No this was left over from the BMW front bonnet badge and I still haven't decided if I want to get rid of it yet. Just one of those things that i'm not to bothered about.

It's just a question of degrees...

You planning on straightening other areas out beyond the top grille line wobble that Mafoo points out? Looks like the shut lines around the lights aren't correct.

Hello all. I am back from a glorious day at the GERMAN CAR SHOW. There is a thread elsewhere for you to see all the non-project marmite pictures but below will be the PM orientated ones for your viewing pleasure and some bonus content videos also.

GERMAN CAR SHOW THREAD: (http://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=67813&p=1002834#p1002834)

Anyway here are a few pictures of the day... I took hundreds but I'm only posting the ones marmite related.

Here she is... lining up with other Z4's... only one person said he was familiar with the Z4-FORUM... but they were more than happy for me to line up with them and show off my unfinished project

Parked up with my 'boot' spoiler lol

Moved the car to chill with the Dorset BMW crew

Awesome, awesome... NEW FOREST summer hoon back after the show with a load of other modified cars.

Awesome scenic view of the drive home

It was still sunny out so I decided to take her to the beach front and get some more awesome snaps.

Great update. How is the bodywork standing up to stress fractures etc.?
