Thanks to all who have commented, went a bit off track in that I got a bespoke calliper paint made up to body match the hellrot car colour. This was preferred to an "off the shelf" colour that nearly matched ...but not quite...you know the feeling I guess.
Also managed to get a great result on the anti rattle springs by using Hamber Deox z and then treatment with a protective finish.
What was really pleasing was the way the ATE brake callipers work and refit together - seemed very well thought through and a LOT easier than the girling brakes that I have previously worked with.
All in all it took 4 days to sort out but well pleased with the results so thank you for all your pleasing comments

I couldn't do me calipers like that. I'd have to keep me wheels clean - and me discs get a rusty sheen on them if I don't drive it every day.
If I greased me discs that might stop them showing. I wonder.

A new number plate with a play on the Z3 - E37 theme ...
Mr Vanos paid me another visit, this time for the Z3M; only 6 weeks since he was last here for the Z4MC. Hes a lovely bloke, really knows his stuff amd loves to chats cars... however, in the nicest possible way I hope I never meet him again!!
Took advantage of the online Jubilee offers to refresh my rather scabby rear disks.
edit..now fitted and the completely imbalanced hand brake fixed..was only holding on one side. The nasty rusty scraping sound seems to have disappeared too

I've bought some new rear light lenses and ordered new plates so I can put my private plate on the Z3... that means the car is staying around for a bit!!
Another new brake caliper - the correct one this time
