Well Euro car parts had extra discount yesterday so I bought a passenger side wing. £39 delivered. The one for the other side cost £265 from BMW but the insurance was paying for that.
The heater is fine in the z3 so I cancelled my appointment... Relief.

Looks very nice Hugo,
Need to build a shed for the hardtop, no room for the hardtop in the garage this year.
Have to agree with Jim they look better with the hardtop.

Since removing the hardtop I was thinking about replacing the rear screen as it was bubbling and discoloured. Then on a TV program a guy repaired bubbling by using a heat gun on a 3 series. Had a go at that and the screen went back into shape.
My uncle, who has had 3 mx5s said about polishing the rear screen to take the discoloured look of it, so I had a go with ScratchX and it came up a treat, just a fold line in the screen which I can live with.

That's how mine is, clear as a bell but has the crease line. But then it's 15 years old now.

I tried to get the fold line out with plastiX and ended up cracking. Can't fit just a screen due to the wear on my soft top. The cheapest quote from BMW was £1750 and that's with discount.
Phil T found a place on ebay which supplies and fits a red hood for £650 in the north west of England, might be worth a trip. BMW only makes black now.
The zeds where in formation this morning. There was a e86 z4 in front of me and a new z4 behind me on a dual carriageway.
Ask @miller1098 , he'll tell you.Picked this bargain up at a Fathers day car show. Want a real one in this colour.
Would it be strange having a 3.0 litre as an everyday car and a M as a 2nd car?

Took this photo last night with a Golden sunset reflecting on the zed.
Not much happening since the MOT. Had an inspection 1 last week by a specialist, £95 compared to £235 at the dealership. Trying to get the funds together to get new alloys for a BMW show in Northern Ireland next weekend. Apart from that all quiet.
