Two Tone Zed!

[pgunter]

If we all liked the same, God it would be boring.. one persons love is another persons hate.. bit like marmite. I for one admire the hard work in both cars... some bits I love, some I just, well not for me.

Engineering wise, that conversion on dinos comment is amazing. Has anybody thought about how hard that mod is ? Even getting a double din audio into the centre console is hard enough.

The original one, well not a fan of the overall interior but what ever floats your boat.

 

[Mac Romans]

I quite like it....but my my taste is clearly somewhat questionable anyway!

 

[5harp3y]

Money cant buy taste .... thats for sure

 

[Gundun]

Did you mean: '57 corvette

@Nodzed - @oldcarman is correct. The car you have linked was part inspiration for my old Z3 - Scarlett.

 

[hard top]

Scarlett.

That's the thing I like about this forum, I have been in that car twice, once over here in Holland and on the UK New Forest run.

Thanks @ David and your WW's were and will be why I intend to run a set on the 15" wheels I have bought. Were those true WW or the stick on type? I'm finding the real thing very expensive so may go with the stick on, just wonder if they stay in place?? JIM

 

[oldcarman]

Does that mean you'd approve of the WW's on my car then @HT! How about if I do the side second colour in oxford green to match my new seat leather and HT?? Just a thought right now. JIM

They were neither JIM. I degreased the wheels, masked up and hand-painted the whitewalls on, using a special rubberised paint.

Have a look at www.mrwhitewalls.com, they sell the paint there, but I think I got mine from eBay.

[oldcarman]

Thanks David, now you mention it I do recall us talking about that a long time ago. I think I'll likely go with the stick on's as my friend had them on his motorcycle without problems. How's the z4 treating you? JIM

 

[David]

I'll PM you soon @oldcarman - sorry for the thread hijack @Nodzed !!

 

[oldcarman]

Also, I apologize @ Nodzed. JIM

 

[Nodzed]

This reminds me of another 2 tone Z but race inspired and a U.K. Car- supercharged and fullly customized interior. 45% LSD
Anybody on here know the car or its whereabouts?

Well thats a red rag to a bull How much?

 

[hard top]

How much?

A bloody small fortune and to be honest, I think they look like crap.

Oooh I like to vicariously shop so go on then.

The thing is they not available new I think...
But I know that hardtop wasn't either but @yalden managed to get them to make one.

Last I saw prices were over 700 for a new set but occasionally they pop up for less used, but seriously rare.

You'll need the little 3pc diffuser too, really finishes the rear off..

I'd leave the wing though.

Love the Hamman wing mirrors too, @deni2s just got a set.

Yeah, but it was a bare shell, no headlining, nothing.....

Hardtop was available all the time, it's just that it's quite expensive.
Taillights are not available new. I was lucky to find a used pair for 80 euros from Russia
