JINGLES White Z4 progress thread (PIC HEAVY)

had slight wind noise at high speeds so tilted drivers side window glass in a little bit, using these adjusters:

under door cover caps:


covers removed and bolt adjusted:
 
finally managed to get hold of a Z4M undertray!!


stuff ready to go:



jacked up and on axle stands:


fitted:


fitted from underneath:


 
due to not having a undertray for a while a lot of road grime has flicked up into the engine bay, quick clean up and spruce up. once new rocker cover is replaced will give engine bay a proper going over:

Neat touch :thumbsup:
 
Great job @JINGLE I'd need those axle stands about a foot higher to accommodate this fat bloke. You must be built like a snake to get under there.
 
haha yea im pretty slim and it was tight, i get scared using my small trolly jack any higher tho as it gets a little wobbly (well it doesn't, but in my head it does haha)
 
as my air scoop and bracket are both broken i had to replace:

broken scoop and bracket on car:


new scoop:



1st coat red:


finished in red:


new scoop and new bracket ready to go on car:
 
been a bit slack on here lately, been busy !

heres some catch up:

abs/dsc warning lights came on so I replaced all 4 abs sensors, after doing all this the problem was still there, turns out it was a faulty wire so i soldered it and all works fine again :D

old next to new:



and also swapped some corroded bolts as 1 rounded off and took an hour to get out

 
managed to borrow a friends ramp and replaced both heat shields around exhaust, as both were really damaged and back box section had half missing, forgot to get a photo but heres the back box section old and new:

 
as much as i love my custom red leather roll hoops i cant install the wind deflector brackets so needed a solution.... custom sprayed alpine white roll hoops with wind deflector :thumbsup:
old red leather:


1 white and 1 red:


and from the rear:


new white roll hoops and wind deflector installed:
 
finally got around to fitting the Rpi scoop, unlike most I had to replace the whole bracket as mine was damaged so it was a bigger job than expected!

before:


front end off:


broken scoop:


Everything off to access the bracket:


new bracket and scoop fitted:


new scoop behind grill:


and heres what was removed:

Lots of work to get to the what looks like a very vulnerable scoop, was the scoop damaged by a light front end bump. Great pics of your worthwhile work:thumbsup:, like it.:)

about an hour or so but i was taking my time as it was awkward.

now gonna upload some more photos of the new wheels! they look awesome!
 
Finally got the wheels fitted (special thanks to machine monkey for letting me have some old tyres to check the wheels would fit before I spent big money on new)

Gave the car a good clean and even polished my tips!!! I'm crap with photos and angles etc so I just went snap happy and here's a select few! Cars not finished yet but I'm very, VERY happy with it!

Enjoy:
