Very nice :thumbsup:

I wish the previous owner of mine had found a BMW CD head unit rather than the PITA Kenwood.

When I was telling my Parent's tonight about the latest car to expect to see on their drive :arghh: my Mum asked me how many Dakar Yellows there are left. No idea is the short answer. I guessed a couple of hundred?

There's a sub question to that as well and that would be
Out of the few hundred Dakars that are left how many of them are not sport models

Yes true i have only seen 2 that aren't i saw a 1.9 dakar sport in AutoTrader and @Brian H his is a 3.0 dakar sport edition.
Probably the same ones I've seen/know about. I think there have been a couple of 1.9 Sports for sale on ebay/Gumtree/AT recently.

The 2 cars on this forum I like most are @Brian H 3.0 Dakar Yellow Sport and @Geophys Red 2.2 Sport with Lotus White interior. Not only both hugely pretty cars but incredibly rare too. How many other facelift Sports have you ever seen in red and if you have I bet they didn't have a Lotus White interior!

Whilst I have a selection of Dakar fans on this thread.

My brake calipers vary between silver and rusty. The car is the Daker Z3 M series. Question should I have the Calipers :

A) resprayed red
B) resprayed yellow
C) leave them alone

Instincts say C) as everything on the car is original, even if they do look crap. Asking group for advice now as need to get the Dakar paint touched up in couple of small places, so any Caliper respray would make sense at the same time.

Sensible suggestions as always welcome

Brake disc hubs and caliper spring clips done black and calipers yellow

But as with most things cosmetic it is down to personal taste.
