I'm looking in to the possibility of releasing some money that I have in my Z4 and wanted to extend the proposition of swapping the Sapphire black M bonnet I have on it with the standard Bonnet in Sapphire black + cash. I didn't want to pop this on the selling section as it isn't straight forward to put a price on a swap and an interested party would need to meet up and change the bonnets over. Anyone interested who has a good idea on how to undo and reattach the bonnets is welcome to discuss this idea if interested in the swap as I don't have the tools and I'm not too savvy with carrying out work on cars.

The logistics of purchasing a bonnet and replacing myself are toublesome as I don't own a van. So I thought I would extend this idea :thumbsup:

I'm located in CB23 (Cambridgeshire)
 
I could be interested as I have a sapphire black coupe, although I'm based in Gloucestershire which isn't close but not a million miles away either. I have a decent set of tools so should be able to switch them over, although I haven't done it before. Standard bonnets seem to go for £250-300 so it depends how much you're looking to realise?
 
Very much interested too (I have access to another black Zed). Depends what sort of cash you want to release?
Also I've replaced the mini cooper bonnet for a mini cooper s bonnet (with bonnet scoop) and that was complicated because of the wiring loom holding for headlights (and headlights themselves) is integrated into the bonnet. This should be much, much simpler :)
 
I'm very interested too - I don't have a black bonnet, but willing to get one and take the //M bonnet off you!
 
Thanks for the responses. I agree that standard bonnets go for around £250/300, I'm not sure of the going rate on M bonnets, though Mr Wilks suggested it could go for £750-850 in my car purchase thread. Does that sound like the right ballpark?

Again, anyone interested needs to have a nice good condition standard Sapphire black bonnet and know how to swap them over (which I'm sure isn't too complicated but still!).
