Got some purists hating on these on Facebook, what do you guys think?

Simply brought them because when rubing doors in competition wing mirrors are the first thing to smash , these are only £25 to replace the 2 so vbetter than £100 bmw ones that aren't readily available, just needs finishing off

People on FB obviously don't understand what you are doing with the car.
Stick them on both sides of the bonnet and really p*** them off.......

 

[Tommy Bates]

Haha I can't wait for the reaction when I cut the bonnet up to put the bonnet clips on lol

It's usually the facebook "purists" who decorate their own cars like Christmas tree...

^Saw this in Bologna airport last week - it's actually similar to the original GHD hair straightens color (before the went bling with gold editions).
As it happened the biggest professional hair show in the world was on that week so maybe they purposely placed this GHD coulor scheme on the stand...

The week after this was in its place...could also look awesome on your Z...

 

[Tommy Bates]

Love the grey Lamborghini !!!! Definitely food for thought

Booked I to do abit of top secret testing on Sunday haha il be sure to do some updates on here, let's hope she smokes well !!!

 

[Tommy Bates]

Went and did some testing today at Birmingham wheels, as you can see its a banger track and it was wet so wasn't going toooo hard , spinning up 4th gear towards the end ,

Car didn't have as much grip as I expected on the rear with a 235 width tyre, so il be fitting the adjustable subframe kit when I get chance

That sounds and drifts beautifully!
Looks bloody good as is I have to say!

 

[t-tony]

That would look awesome going down the road Tommy. Can't you keep it road legal?

I might get it on the road at some point , may be a slight struggle though as the fumes from the exhaust make your eyes water and flowers die as you drive past them lol

 

[spurs fan in a coupe]

Mate that is top notch!

Just trying to source some sensibly priced brakes and tyres for my Clio 172 track toy.

I love your Z3, glad that bonnet went to a good home.

Let me know if you go the Lydden this year

 

[Tommy Bates]

I have always rated toyo tr1 as the best all round tyres mate as for brakes , yellow stuff if your using it on the road aswell

 

[Tommy Bates]

Not updated in afew weeks ,

Removed all the sound deadning and front windscreen for the roll cage , it's now with a good friend of mine who builds bad ass roll cages

 

[Stormy_be]

Why did you the windscreen out for the fitment of the cage?
My car will have it's cage fitted in a couple of weeks and they did not plan to get the windscreen out.

 

[Tommy Bates]

Hard to explain, you will understand when I show the pictures, the cage is going to be as much for rigidity as it will be for saftey , all the pipe work will be welded up each pilar aswell as the bottom mounts , this is going to give the car the stif rigidity it lacks over the coupe
