Not to sound like a Noob here, but where does one get these stubbies from for the Z4? My lanky one is bent and for the sake of a future project, can they pick up / receive DAB signal?

There are quite a few threads about this, from what I saw you have lots of options. I however just got mine from BMW just to assure myself. Range from £5 -£20. someone more knowledgeable will probably step in to explain

I bought this make back in 2015 - my first mod
No idea regarding reception, I never have the radio on.

No DAB signal with a stubby or OEM aerial, you’ll need a specific DAB aerial.
My Zed passed it's MOT today for the 6th time since I bought it with no advisories 
Roof down drive to work, certainly a fun way to make sure I’m fully awake when I arrive! 
Finally gave up on failure after failure to carbon wrap the ridge piece on my rear diffuser and used some texturised K2 plastic spray to paint it black. Not finished yet, I have some Montego Blue arriving tomorrow to respray all of the rear due to knackering it up applying and removing the carbon vinyl. Hope to have a nice new shiny finish again by Sunday!
Tons better than the original idea:

No I don't know, it came out like this in another photo but it doesn't appear so bad first hand. I don't have any blue paint until tomorrow (hopefully) so I'm at a loss to explain it. The only thing that has changed from the old pic to now is the camera I've used, which doesn't really make any sense. I've got some lacquer coming too so that should resolve it.
I wasn't happy with the finish on the diffuser either since posting those photos so I flatted it back down and have redone it but it's too dark to get a photo now.
