Royal Steering Wheels, extra padding, perforated/smooth leather and blue stitching.
It makes a big difference, It's like holding my Z4M steering wheel.

with a bit of modification by cutting the lower section off:
and attaching the fixing clips:
They now look like this:

Though I'd better do some updates:
Bought some AC Schnitzers for winter tyre use:
had them stripped. and powder coated in Gunmetal for a different look:
Then some distance shots:
But then to break up the dark I added some highlights:

So I decided on a suspension refresh and went with the Strongflex bushes which are the same hardness as, but a lot cheaper than, Powerflex bushes: Fronts only at this moment:
also some new coilovers, with Meyle front and rear top mounts, Lemforder wishbones, and drop links.
and whilst under there with my new Jack thingy:
...... I also took off the wheel arch liners, and coated with a nice shiny Hamerite paint..

Then eventually got around to fitting these:
after having them sprayed along with the front bumper (stonechip city)
and using a different take on the M gills as follows using plastidip:
The bumper had mesh fitted and now looks like this:
From a distance with summer wheels back on:
and some close ups:
Now I have this to fit when I can find time:

Brilliant write up! You make it look so easy, I doff my cap to you.

Superb looking Z3! The gunmetal ACs really suit the car! What make are the rim protectors?
Very tasteful mods you've made and nicely carried out
Rimblades, can be obtained online in lots of different colours..
Not only do they protect the newly finished wheels, but if the wheels already have some kerbing, it would hide it!
you can get blue carbon fibre 3M film from eBay, I used the Estoril blue Scuffmaster to blend it to the same colour as the seats.
Wow i have to say what a top job the car looks outstanding.Love those wheels with the deep lip do you mind me asking where you got them and what they cost ? Steve.

Hi Steven,
The wheels are Cades Tyrus. Fronts are 19 x 8.5 and the rears are 19 x 9.5, got them from Rimstyle, They are about £600 without tyres.

Hi @matt_zeus have you seen the vid on u tube using plasti cote to do carbon fibre look?? Give it a view and the nice part is it's reversible. PM @Cooper if you need help he's been doing a bit of plasti dip or cote(?) Just a thought. JIM
My new rampy thing in action...
can be locked in horizontal and all wheels removed, or tilted for loads of room at ether end. I was sitting down changing my wishbones..
ps I don't have Parkinsons, it's a wobbly joint.... (not one of my joints either)

. You wouldn't want to be holding a coffee while winding it up though...
. We could set a new record for the time between rolling in to the garage, and the sub-frame being on the work bench.
One for the winter months then. A great bit of kit. A mate who works for himself has a slightly larger hydraulic type of this ramp. They cost about £3000 but very useful. I might get one when I retire from work.
