Hi Simon, welcome to the forum. I bought mine on an impulse about a year ago. New door, new suspension and lots of oily bits later and it's still here. It still needs some bits and bobs but as is it's a very useable, very enjoyable beautiful little roadster. I would only change it for another Z3 I think as I can't think of anything better in price range.

Well just collected her in torrential rain and the roof is water tight
Mot tomorrow my first job then tax.
Paint needed in various places as lacquer peeling on doors and a few scuffs.
The windscreen aperture vinyl is peeling so what do you guys recommend here.
The seats are a bit tired so possible re upholstery or replacement any recommendations?
The car is completely standard I believe .

I am based in Stoke on Trent Staffordshire.

Welcome on the forum. You can peel it off as it will have the paint underneath.

Then spray on some plastidip if you want the black back but the body colour looks better in my own opinion.
