Things are about to get a whole lot MEANER!

Its a statement thats for sure. Like wearing your trousers half way down your legs or your polo shirt collar 'popped'. If thats your thing then cool. :)

I'm not going to call you a chav, but your mods do seem to create a picture in peoples minds. Not one of a well heeled gentleman shall we say. The Z4 hasnt been in a modding 'bracket' particularly until recently so it stands to reason other owners will not be the types to approve bumpers with gaping holes in it.

As an ex Max Power reader back in the 90's i love looking at modded cars. They're entertaining and creative. Taste though is one of the hardest parts to get right. And being english we dont half get pedantic about subtlety! :D
 
I'm fascinated to see what it looks like on and finished. It's an extreme style change, but then some stylings grow on you.

Pictured off the car, not convinced. Once it's on and painted, it may well look good. Colour can make a huge difference, as will the finishing touches like grilles etc

Not my taste but good luck with it.
 
Can't believe some of the comments on this thread.
I've been shot down many a time on here by various individuals and, as the old timers know, I don't worry about sticking up for myself as I don't give a sh1t what people think.
What really irks me though isn't the fact people disagree or put their opinions across, its the WAY they do it.
We're not all going to agree (how boring) but why do people think its ok to be rude when giving their opinion?
I'd like to see if they would say it in such a rude way to Brad's face.

Totally agree. People's manners often go out of the window when on the end of a mouse. For the record, I dislike the bumper but look forward to seeing it on anyway. :thumbsup:
 
So basically to completely round this entire thread off...

You've bought your misses a new pair of underwear, men cant buy nice underwear so it always looks horrible, but you'd still like to see what it looks like on anyway because at the end of the day she'll be pretty regardless! :D

END. :thumbsup:
 
Does look like it had a massive sneezing fit and tore its nostrils.

Good luck with it, not my taste but I'm sure you will do something good with it
 
As mentioned above colour will make a difference, what colour are you thinking Brad?

I think a non-standard Z4 colour would set it off better than say a grey/ silver.

It's a lairy bumper which needs a lairy paint job :thumbsup:

Not a fan of the massive grille BUT - I'll say I DO like the one with normal grille vents a LOT.

Where have you got it from can I ask? And do they have the one with normal vents available? Or have you ordered it from the german shop in the thread I started last week?


Li'l help? ^ :)

I got this bumper from Madmotors.co.uk for £179 along with come coilovers :)
 
Brilliant thanks bud, I've emailed them to see I they can supply the one with the normal sized grilles.

Will wait and see!

Sorry, doesn't do it for me. Looks like one of those sad ladies that have had the sort of cosmetic surgery which never looks 'quite right'!
Scorp.

It was only a matter of time before the z4 fell into the arms of chavs who then bastardise them.

R.i.p to this particular z4 :(

I think thats completely uncalled for... Can you not refer to me as a chav please? Im a hard working professional who enjoys modifying cars. I worked hard for my zed just like everyone else on this forum, I posted this thread to share my excitement for my project car. Sorry if I have misinterpreted any sarcasm you meant by the original post but It didnt come across as a joke at all.

cheers.
Good lad, ignore Ben G hes a good lad really just a little too honest at times lol

What can I say? I'd rather tell the truth than beat around the bush. The bumper with standard grilles looks nice. This one however, looks awful.

Best of luck with it, but I personally will never like it.

If only we all had the vision and creativity and out and out style to pretend we own an ///M... :wink:

Yes, an ///M without an ///M bonnet or rear bumper. everyone knows it's not a Z4M. I also can't take credit for it as the previous owner put it on. Better than some aftermarket monstrosity.
 
OEM parts are fine in my opinion, it's when you start dabbling into the many custom body parts you start to loose the good looks of the Z4

Nobody is asking you to beat around the bush, just not to insult people. I don't think that's an unreasonable request. Many people on this thread have voiced similar opinions without the abrasive and inflammatory insolence.
 
the way i see it is if you don't like people criticising your choices, don't post pics up. people can say all they want about my car, doesn't mean i'll listen to them.

you're very lucky this isn't another forum i use, as he would've been shot down even worse.
