David & Scarlett's Project Thread

[oldcarman]

@oldcarman I did consider that option first, but the lines of the side vents meant it was a no-brainer for them to be included, and in my opinion it looks so much better this way.

Your car, your way! I appreciate that in any car even if it wouldn't be my choice. Well done! JIM

Don't you happen to have a set for sale Ash! How'd the shoot go! Had to be awesome with the HT on the Bertini!! JIM

 

[Ashbandicoot]

It was great Jim, if you saw it in the flesh you would be asking for it to be shipped with your latest Z3. Stunning car, I may be slightly half tempted by the back end!

My mirrors for sale are non-M but the trick is to find some LHD mirrors and then convert, plenty of Ms being broken stateside

...well that was quick!! (That's what she said.)

Looked on eBay for new wheels, contacted seller, drove 5 miles and swapped my MV2s for these 16" BMW Style 42s, plus a bit of cash my way!

Now the white wall inserts are on order, and I have some spare change in my pocket to put towards a refurb

@GazHyde will be a happy boy with this news!

 

[GazHyde]

I knew the side panel thingummyjigs would look better under natural light

@GazHyde will be a happy boy with this news!

 

[David]

Haha thanks Kevlaar.
@GazHyde on second thoughts lets keep this thread as one, I like getting welcomes every time Scarlett has a bit of work done!

Here's a better daylight picture of Scarlett's new look:

 

[David]

BEST MOD SCARLETT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO DATE!!!

Spent much of the sunny afternoon accomplishing this:

Tomorrow I will be temporarily refurbing the alloys using wet and dry and plastidip!

 

[GazHyde]

Well they've turned out pretty well David. Your concept is starting to come together now!

 

[miller1098]

Friggin brilliant,I love it .your a hero in my eyes .if I wore a hat I'd take it off to you.

 

[andyglym]

Wow! Now that's impressive!! Defo gonna stand out from the crowd and very retro if you don't mind me saying.

 

[Jack Ratt]

Very nice Dave

 

[hard top]

I had a ride in that car last weekend.........

 

[ZTec]

Brave move, looks good though

 

[David]

Now, there's no need to brag!

 

[David]

Aaaand here's a picture of the completed mini-project - rear wheels White-walled and alloy four alloys plastidipped!

Now time to look for a set of alloys aren't suffering from the same amount of corrosion as a Scottish Nun's Chastity Belt...

 

[hard top]

You know what I think? A set of pepper pots might work with that classic look.

 

[ZTec]

Very nice look, it'd be nice to see how it looks with the hood down

 

[David]

@ZTec - it looks even better!
And it will look even, even better when I sort out a white tonneau cover
