How long since you sold it. I’d been looking for 6-8 months before i brought mine back in April. Never saw this advertised anywhere.
I think I sold it in March, the only reason I sold it was I wanted a 2.8 and it was a 2.0l
Heres some more detail

The new calipers arrived today and they are just perfect, top quality and only £90 for two rear calipers powder coated and serviced, they fit my carriers but the Z4 carriers don't fit the Z3 hubs, the hole centres are further apart

As long as they fit on the Z3 carriers that's good mate.

Not just the shine but the finish looks flawless.

Were those new or secondhand? Even more ridiculous if they were secondhand!

How do the rest of us match that! We’ll never even have body panels that good!

I just had to paint the front calipers to match the rears that I bought, I sprayed them last night and them fitted today, just begging for a decal to be fitted which was ordered off ebay today

That's a fantastic finish Sean, looks like you sanded down the casting imperfections.
The local place I bought my caliper paint from, charge a fortune to get that level of finish.

Bonkers mate. Was that all rubbing down or is there a lot of high build primer there?
Actually from what I remember the calipers weren't that bad but they did get a good dose of high build primer, Oh I sprayed one of the side grills in the chosen colour and I don't like it so its plan B now but luckily red calipers should fit 2:D

Big decision on a small panel mate?

I know mate but it just doesn;t excite me, I'm going to do the other side in plan B which was actually plan A until I decided to go safe o_O however I was going to have M blue calipers with plan B which was plan A but red will be OK I think, I could always change them to suit plan B which was A =))
