Now I've done it

Yes it will, weather will have to improve a bit but that gives me time to get a bit and parts together. May change colour not sure on that yet.
 
Can you post before and after photos :p
 
I will try to I won't be starting it till weather improves and I can take some time off from work. Will try and post on progress page when I start.
 
Great news - and a great project - look forward to following how the work progresses - good luck!

Hi low rider what's wrong with my wings. Well when I bought the Z back last July I could see that it had been blown over and not very well at that. So I thought I'd wait and see what happened the salt went on the roads and the blown over bits started to bubble. I decided that I wanted to put a full body kit on when I bought it so when this happened I just had to replace the other panels with new. Because all the ones I looked at on eBay were as bad or worse than mine. I think on mine it is only surface and could be treatable, I have poked with a sharp implement and where it's bubbling is solid. I just decided that if I was spending the sort of money it was going to set me back for body kit and respray I didn't want to spoil it for the sake of cost. I may sort old panels out if it's only surface and put them on eBay. It was also cheaper to buy parts from Germany than BMW here even after postage and the front wings came as a kit and hat the clear glass side repeaters in the kit.

Which kit did you get? I have a full kit but only fitted one of the skirts so far (needed to replace one side skirt so just had one painted in the meantime).
 
Hi it's the Arjo maximus I like the side skirts better on that kit I was not so keen on the Vader. I think it's the same as you have on there. And very strange I was thinking of going blue not quite that blue but I saw a BMW in a mag that's in blue that I like. But it could be easier to repaint in a Black but I'm thinking one with a nice fleck in it like the candy type paints. Can't decide yet.
 
Yep it's the same skirts. I went for the Hamman replica. I just needed sills and they were only £75 for the pair but ended with the front bumper and rear with the deal they do.
My rear apron as actually mounded from a genuine Hamman one as it has the Hamman imprint.

Black with a nice fleck sounds good.
