What have you done to your car today?

Sprayed me Grilles Gloss black. Cost me £3.99 for a can of spray paint. I prefer it to the chrome. Got a Zunsport lower Grille on it's way which will cover up the cracked original. Will post some pics up when I've fitted it.
 
Snow foamed all the cars, installed some sound insulation in the doors and went for a drive, and the Mrs first go in the Z!

and ordered some Heller head lights!
 
200 mile round trip around the Cairngorms in blazing sunshine. It was beautiful up here in Scotland today; had the roof down the whole time and didn't need the heat on until around 5.30ish with the sun starting to go down. Stunning roads from Aberdeenshire over to Dufftown, down to Pitlochry using back roads, over to Glenshee, back up through Braemar and Ballater and back home, 8 hours all in with some lunch and walks around the lochs thrown in.
 
Washed, quick going over with glaze and a wax, then out for a blast...

These wheels have to go, given myself time to adjust, but not feeling them. :cry:

Changed pollen filter today and found a nice bundle of leaves lurking behind the old filter

Just polished both headlights, using Tutle wax Lens Cleaner, polishing pads and drill, and I'm really pleased with results. N/S light was really bad but after repeating process 3 times it came up like this...

Just need to keep them like this now.

Next job for this afternoon is replacing electric window cable...

Fitted new 276’s with MPSS4’s, fitted SmartTop, changed the salmon relays and washed it

So you’ve taken the 19inches off and replaced with 18s.
I always thought the 326 styles suited it most?
 
Finished the grille project (4 series grilles in a Z4 frame). Thoughts on whether I should leave the grilles with a gloss black front or paint them a different colour?

Top job! They look ace. Is there some kind of protectant?

Yes, kit come with some wipes which you use at the end, unfortunately they only supply one set so will need to buy some more for next time. Still got plenty of polish and wet and dry spray left..

No, replaced with 19’s just not ones made of china :rofl:

The wheels definitely suit but I don’t fancy the chances of the 326’s lasting long on Argyll roads :thumbsup:
 
Zunsport lower grille arrived this morning. Have fitted it (10 mins) and I'm well chuffed with the result.
The existing grille has a crack in it and rather than remove the whole bumper to remove the damaged one the Zunsport
screws to the existing and looks cool and completes the look after I sprayed the kidney grilles Gloss Black.
Forum members get 20% off too with code BM282018. What's not to like ? :driving:
 
Gave the poor girl a wash today. After being stuck in the garage for the last 6 months whilst I completed audio and wrapping projects she deserved a bit of love.

Then I fitted some graphics to the sill, using wrap and knifeless tape. Thoughts?
