What have you done to your car today?

[Sgub]

Picked up a hardtop to start getting the car winter ready. Still needs some minor adjusting for a better fit though..

 

[ARCS]

Repaired someone’s half assed attempt at fixing the dodgy wiper arm. Got the retaining clip from “ask the mechanic” on eBay. All greased up and ready to go

 

[stupot1]

New standard front springs fitted, taken the lowered eibachs off

 

[LittleZ4]

Buckley06 indicator badges have now been fitted along with clear lenses. Cupra r splitter fitted. Makes the front look that little bit lower
Oh.......and a quick wash and a wax.

whatever you do, don't drive over that kerb

Much modification needed to the splitter? Considering one myself

I left it to someone else to faff about with it. Apparently heating it up to stretch it out worked a treat. The middle supports need trimming down a fair bit. The splitter itself is not as wide as the Z4 bumper, but the ends are longer and overhang the end of the bumper and touch the wheels.
All in all there's a bit of fettling to do.

Doesn't sound like anything a heat gun and a dremel can't fix then! Cheers, ordered one with the 10% off ebay code floating around.

Happy days!! Look forward to seeing it on there!

Quick clean and drive

Didn't change anything but made use of the Autobahn driving from Stuttgart to Munich and back. Drank way too much fuel, driving both ways with the roof down didnt help matters. Either way, it really is fun hitting 130-140 without a care in the world.

On a side note, maybe someone can shed some light on this. On the way there, I had a new Golf GTI behind me for some way that would push me between 80-110 but once we got to 115-120 he'd start falling behind and didn't seem like he could keep up. Was the driver holding back or was my car just too much in the higher range?

Definitely holding back,
Just come back from Germany, 105 just keeping up with traffic isn't for me and rep mobeeels flying past me doing 130/140 ....bloody barmy.
Also a Golf GTi got wrecked right in front of me, went off the motorway veered to the left across 3 lanes walloped the barrier and bounced on its wheels back on to the verge...write off!

I have use of one and it's a lovely car but the torque curve is pants compared to a sixer. I'd say you were hitting the sweet spot on the rev band where he was going past it's max curve, unless he dropped a cog.
Just my pennies worth.

Dumped my 15mm/20mm Front and Rear spacers due to tramlining issues etc. All down to the scrub radius with the spacers on.

 

[ErrErrminator]

De-gingered the front end with a pair of facelift headlights, to go with the back and sides already done.

Really pleased with the end result which IMO looks much more up to date.

Had a micro-meet. met up with tug today, top bloke, chief design was to commiserate and compare our baby zeds we talked about pink floyd and drank coffee and then went and played with our cars, tugs car is immaculate, lazy sod that i am i didnt even wash mine.. but it did rain on the way over ( compulsory roof down of course) so it it got a wash of sorts, and so did i a bit... he reset something for me and gave me a new car to drive home in. I decided he is my twin brother, if only partially because he is as ugly as me A neighbour walked up and asked if it was a hairdresser's convention, I of course asked him if he wanted something for the weekend Sir.
