What mods are you going to do to your Zed in 2023?

Think the best solution is 19” for photos and garage queening, 13” Ford Capri 4-spoke Rostyles for motoring (Firestone boots anyone?)
 
Any proper Capri had 13" "pepperpots" and 205/60 Goodyear NCTs!

Although you'd be stuck with the tiny front brakes that struggled to stop a Capri. :lol:

I’m thinking similar to you Peter I’m having a machine polish professionally done, then build up the wax again. I had not noticed the slight dulling of the paint on our 2010 car until I had the front bumper repainted in November, which now shows the rest of the car up!


The machine polish / detail / hard wax is booked in, so it will pop when we get along to the BMW Event in April 😎
 
Finally painted and changed my side indicators to the Face lift ones..

Looks much better and works surprisingly well (black on black) :thumbsup:
 
Just picked up a set of ‘BMW Performance’ style 269 19’s to try on the E89.

Not sure what’s so ‘Performance’ about them, as they’re not especially light… but they’re fairly rare and look pretty

They are fitted with a brand new set of PS4S’s, and the wheels are in fabulous condition, which made the price too good to ignore. Just a little bit dusty, so need a clean and I’ll ceramic coat them :)

Might need some spacers to sit how I want them, but if I don’t like them I’ll keep the tires and sell the wheels on. It’s such a nice surprise when something turns out to be exactly as advertised :thumbsup:

Rears are 9J ET 39 - so not much different to 8.5J ET40

Fronts are 8J ET 37, so sit inboard by 8mm more than standard 8J ET 29

5 mm or 10 mm spacer on front and you are sorted!

I have a 2011 35is with Meistercraft exhaust with both down tubes. Looking to downgrade to a factory exhaust. Any interest?

I’ll bear that in mind, ta :thumbsup:

Think I might install the strut brace at the weekend… not expecting to be able to tell the difference, but it’s polished aluminium for a bit of under bonnet bling 8)

Headlamps en route to OSS in North Carolina. Back in a fortnight or so.
Which options?
None of the ones on their website. I’ve asked for everything chrome/silver to be painted sapphire black including the eyebrow. I’m not keen on the square lights, fancy flashing options, etc. It’s a simpler job.
