I know you didn't say anything wrong...
I put some pictures on the Z3 page on Facecloth & some people took the micky out of my 'biscuit wheels'
Anyone that knows me know I am a delicate & sensitive flower (honest
) so I don't want anybody criticising my baby as they might hurt her feelings! 
You might have to get used to my sense of humour!

@Geoff Rutland I like your colour and your original z line alloys ( which look in really nice condition 
) Lynne's Torqouise green zed should have them on it as they were the original fit alloy now has style 25 fitted but I am toying with the idea of acquiring a set at some point

Mine were in pretty poor condition and put them on the car I took my 18s off, this car then got scrapped with them still on, I was a bit annoyed when I found out. But then they are faiely cheap to buy and refurb.
I'll be up for it, and i dont live far from Rockingham. Mine's standard apart from a new gear knob and exhaust, but i still have the originals and can put them back on.
Bodywork is in good condition, odd imperfection here and there as expected, but well kept.
It's just done 90k miles but still good.
Is it worth a call to see if the colour is regarded German enough???
What does everyone think??

I would go for it
I've messaged him this morning and he's asked for some photo's so we'll see what happens. I'll let you know if i get a response and i'll dig a bit more into whats required if i get rejected!
Just got a response.....
He likes the look of it, but he needs to run it by the designer and photographer tomorrow to see if it will work (i guess he means the colour??)
I'll keep you all posted........

And it's an M44
Well..............
I got a message back this morning saying.................
.........they like the car and they want to use it!!
John-Joe is sending me some more information over the next few days as to when and where etc.
All I can think of now is all the jobs that need doing on it before i would consider it "battle ready"!!
I feel an awful lot of pressure all of a sudden.............

Based on the modified letter now on .net they ideally want a subdued colour like black or grey.
So now we know what a German colour is. I think I might be ever so slightly offended if I was German as people tend to regard those colours as sombre!
But I would think blue also fits that description or maybe Boston Green.
Good luck with the experience @Fraser .

never even had a reply off him obviously didnt like my montreal blue..
Must need his eyes tested, we all know it' the best colour
He does seem a bit short with this communications, no airs and graces kind of thing. Not replying is just rude though, no excuse for that.
ok what we need to do now is to fit a large reed valve to the underside of the airbox, we can call it the fogged valve, just to make sure, a stealthy performance mod
