If got to try and find out why the hood is not fully lowering, but had a quick blast out to the sinking man last Sunday.

Productive day today.

Managed to get replacement wing on, headlight brackets fitted, skirt back on. Headlight wiring figured out, headlights fitted and working pukka :thumbsup:

Tomorrow the bumper will go on, then all finished. Not bad for a total novice at this kind of stuff.

Had my Backbox deleted. Wouldn't recommend it for a daily driver, however for a weekend car it's addictive 8)

+1 It adds so much character to the car, no drone aswell depending on how it is driven.
 
Got a second coat of foilatec calliper paint on the rears today :D . Got some new anti rattle clips on order.. a quick spray with some silver high temp paint when they arrive and the rears are done. Then the same will begin on the front.

Did you guys get the pipe fabricated or buy delete pipes?

I'm currently talking to a custom exhausts shop about deleting the back box and putting a small sports muffler in its place if it needs it. I'd rather just buy something off the shelf to delete if I can.
 
Swapped over my old steering wheel with one from Royal Steering Wheels. I also decided to vinyl wrap part of the plastic surround which wasn't in the best condition; figured it'd hold up better than paint or plastidip. Very pleased with the result, I think the carbon fibre compliments the dash pretty well!

Did you do the steering wheel exchange? I'm currently looking for a new wheel.

I did yeah, will be sending my old one back on Monday. Took them about 1-2 weeks to get the new wheel delivered to me. One thing is that when the new wheel arrived, the leather hadn't been fully cut away on the left hand side and the guy asked me cut it myself which wasn't too hard to be honest. The wheel itself feels great and hopefully you won't encounter the same problem.

I am too :rofl:
 
Car went for MOT! Passed, no idea if there were any advisories... will find out when I get home :)
Few issues (as normal) but I will sort them out over summer, don't know if they made it onto the actual certificate tho.

I use Lee too. Did you max out the front camber?

Being a new Z4 owner, I am still learning all about this so not sure - ended up with -50 minutes on each?!

(though not so much of a Z4 owner presently (check my 'look what my son did to my car' thread under E85s for sale).
