That worked out pretty well. I think that could work with my current pigtail cable without having to extend it. Having a bunch of tie wraps on my brace doesn't exactly say I'm factory installed! If my cable will reach from the ground terminal, I may give it a go! Good idea!

Just re-read your post and realized it may be due to difference in kits. I've always used CTEK (which is same as the BMW rebranded), but guessing the cable is shorter than Noco.
Sent the wheels off for powder coating. Going for dark grey satin but was tempted by black satin.
Cleaned the arches and Lanoguarded. Stripped off the front bumper ready for respray with the aero sideskirts.
Finally bought a set of Pilot Sport 5’s for the refurbed wheels. An expensive day.

Bit more finessing my Z4 today. Pleased with my Alpina kit , modified rear bumper and dual exhaust .
Getting there but really happy with it so far. To think when I bought this I was adamant it would stay totally unmodified as it is so super clean and straight!
Cosmetics still to do
Code park sensors, need to learn how to do that first, anyone suggest someone local to Birmingham who may be able to do it ?
Paint calipers and bumper bars to match
White front indicators
Z4 badge removal from rear
Possibly paint stainless silencers black & tweak r/h as it’s a bit low.
White centre stop light
Sure it’s not everyone’s taste but I like it

Read up on Alpina spoiler replacements when I ordered them as they have a website showing the process and what’s available.Expected them to be fibreglass but when they arrived they are plastic ( the same as the bumper) you could literally just paint them straight away. The fit was straight on too,no fettling required . Suppose you get what you pay for , took an age to arrive though. Ordered in July.
Yesterday... not today... discovered the drivers side radiator grill has taken a significant impact... wondering if some arsewipe gave it a kick as I have no recollection of hearing an impact whilst on the road. Oh well, my to do list was only about 20 items long, great to be able to add something else to it.

Possible... but it's completely taken out one slat and only damage one other. I don't care, but I am curious! I can't believe I wouldn't notice it quickly, and it's spent most of the last week parked up in a bay on the road I live on (and it is rare anyone other than a handful of neighbours I know pretty well park there, and I'd really like to think they'd say if they hit my car).
