What have you bought for your Zed this week?

Another tasteful bobble head and a non slip mat for the dashboard 😃

A nearside door handle trim and gasket- to replace the one that fell off...
A gas strut for the boot lid- one had gone soft.
A cheap radio/USB/SDCard player while I decide whether or not to get the Alpine stereo fixed.
An adhesive window radio aerial for above. (You lose the standard aerial when the body is swapped.)
 
Bought a rear window protector. Got fed up with my DIY one flapping around trying to keep it down in a breeze and wanted an OEM one that was less embarrassing! Missed out on a second-hand ebay one that was on for £45 and had an offer accepted. Rest are all £70-£100. Thought I would give Sopers a try and lo and behold I was told yes there is one on the system and its the last one in the UK-hmmm. £59 but with forum discount was £53 delivered. My £60 cashback I had that week was burring a hole in my pocket so went for it. Appreciate its not for everyone and a blanket etc works just as well, but I like OEM accessories :)

The oem rear spoiler is a good find and price. Not many of us have those!!
 
He’s got the Schnitzer splitters for your M44 for as well… I got them on my 1.9 and they look great…
 
Contact him these were still available about 3 hours ago… tell him that Iain referred you.
 
Oooo that's nice .... I have a fully A/c Schnitzer one on the 1.9. sounds sweet. Re the splitters just to be sure make sure you contact him as in the link he said each part needed to be negotiated ...
 
Thanks Iain,
Have just bought from link.
Appreciated,
Ian
So as stated I have these on the 1.9 in storage I'll try to take a pic and post what these should look like once they are on. Dogs IMO. :cool:
 
So to go with the OEM Boot Spoiler I'm thinking of getting one of these from Reiger (I refuse to pay anywhere near the £1,400 someone wants for the 2.8 Schnitzer splitters on eBay) . Anybody know is anyone on the form has ever fitted one of these? Rieger front spoiler lip (rieger-tuning.biz). Seems logical to me that if I'm paying to have the OEM Boot spoiler resprayed Boston Green might as well chuck this in at the same tine...

He has cancelled and refunded my order :(
Ok you need to contact him directly then and negotiate .. this is what is stated in the advert. which is what I did re the Boot Spoiler.

I hate eBay sellers who do this ..either put it on as an auction and get what the market will pay or put it on as a buy it now at the price you want. Complete waste of time !
 
Until today I only had 1 remote key for my 2002 Z3, however I now have 2, as picture.
I’d always been a little concerned about losing my only key, considering the key is NLA from BMW.
I contacted a guy I saw advertising in Scotland and he travelled to the North East where he cut and programmed a new remote key at my front door!
He travels all over the UK supplying and coding keys, he is called Boyd and his contact number is 07762 725041, I can vouch for him and is highly recommended.
My original key on the left, new key to the right!

Total cost £100, for an extra £20 I could have had a flip key but wanted to keep some originality.
and save 20 quid😂

I've had this on mine for a few years, been through a bit of paint and I smashed the centre section a few years back. When I had the respray 3 years ago the paint reacted on it and I never got it redone properly, I also scuffed it again a couple of months ago. Not long come back from the bodyshop after having the bonnet, bumper and splitter repaired and painted and it's looking fresh again.

Not the best pic but you get the idea! I love it, I think the Z3 really needs some sort of small lip on the bottom of the front bumper.
