What have you done to your car today?

Looks gorgeous in white. Wrapping later this year, was thinking a dark matte grey similar to the Sterling Grey shade but after seeing that I think white might be the way to go! Switching the lights for chromed spyder auto halo lights so I think white would go a lot better with the chrome look to be honest, less contrast!

Not much done per-say, but chucked a bottle of techron in yesterday had a fuel gauge issue, not going above 3/4 tank, filled up after and left it over night before a run around this morning and it's reading perfect now. Waiting for my new door speakers to arrive and a Gaptech module i've ordered

Fitted the “‘new” seats to [ref]MaldivesMax[/ref]’s roadster last night. Got a text from him this morning after a 2-hour drive, all smiles 8)

You really wouldn’t give his car 335.000km… a testament to his care for it :thumbsup:

Just listed my Z4C for sale on here - where else would people recommend? AT? EBay?

eBay has always been good for me if I’m honest. I’ve never had any luck with Autotrader of Pistonheads.
 
Finally got a decent day to clean the car, busy week, had the wheels redone in shadow chrome, didn't like the diamond cut look, made the car look like a 1970's Corgi Whizz Wheels car :rofl:

I’ve sold a couple of roadsters on here for bargain basement prices, but sold my Coupe on A/T within a week at the asking price, even though it was bit higher than I was asking on the forum.

Your car looks good, and well priced by the way.

Rebuilt Max’ old seats after gutting them for the frame and memory module. Soon, I’ll have a set of M-sport seats with dual memory function; both passenger and driver :thumbsup:
 
Collected my refurbed 261’s to replace my 108’s.

The colour in the end didn’t look anything like the sample that I chose, it’s very bold but I actually like it. I’m well aware that it’s a bit marmite and is quite a hard colour to capture accurately with my phone camera.

As you say it’s marmite and most would choose silver but I like it. :thumbsup:

Thanks, they’re a bit darker / bolder / more gold than I was expecting it I do like them.

Nice…very nice… :thumbsup: :driving:
 
Fitted my recently acquired 437M's. Not a fan of the satin black, so there will be a colour change happening at some point.

Looks spot on. Was it wheel wizard that done them?

She's looking good Andy, did you get them from Peter? Yes, Wheel Wizards, Stewart did a great job as usual, turned them around in less than a day. Put two new tyres on the front also, ordered them through Black Circles and Stewart fitted and balanced them (the rears had been recently done when the car had its last service at Synter), so off Tuesday afternoon to get a 4 wheel alignment done. :thumbsup:
 
New coil packs again. I think this is now the third set in 18 years. No time to wash it though, so it remains filthy

That`s a great photo . Lotus / Z4 M Coupe and the sun . Do you use the oem coils ?
Thank you :)

They're Bosch coil packs that match the OEM specifications (Bosch Part Number 0221504464). They differ slightly in the shape of the insulator, but have the correct positive fit over the plug and at the top of the coil tube.

One of my coils had failed to the point of misfiring on that cylinder, but clearly they were all somewhat sub-par because the car is much more lively now than it has been for quite a while. So much so that I've bought new plugs and coils for my Lotus too (the plugs are seven years old and I've no idea if the coils have ever been changed).
