#ZedShed Z4 Coupe Journal

[GazHyde]

Got a link? Be interesting to see the difference to the ones we've been using. Z4 front springs are really short compared to the 3's.

Z4 front springs are really short compared to the 3's.

They certainly are, a set of those Eibachs could well be on the wish list. Just enough and they're black too.

So more goodies turned up last night. Thanks to Storm Motorworks for their titanium gear knob and handbrake with a leather wrap. Here are some before and after shots.

Other things happening on the side is: Changing the colour of the callipers to match the wheels. Tint the fog lights. I'm also hunting for a front splitter and year spoiler.

It's far too big mate, Looking for something more subtle.

Update: I've had the roof wrapped in black, grills and the lower front bumper to give it an aggressive look. I also for a giggle fitted some 21" alloys they were huge couldn't drive like it though

This was only temporary.

Interesting look that. Suits the colour of the car well.

Thanks Lee, I'm wondering what to do if/when I get the front splitter. Really like the roof.

Tony.

Agreed shows off the lines, nice foresight Lee.

Little update. I always update my Instagram (Joycey87) but forget on here.


Tinted the rear light red, And the indicators still flash orange

Tinted the Fog lights with a yellow film. You can also see the lower valence I stuck on

How she's looking at the moment, I even got time to paint the callipers to match the wheels.

Removed the foam from the sound generator. WOW its loud it actually hurts my ears. Might need to put one back in

 

[Lee]

Next updates will be a spoiler and my private plate

Now, that looks like a real mean machine @Lee, in fact it looks lovely.

Not sure about the yellow fogs mate, otherwise cool for cats..

 

[5harp3y]

Roof looks superb

Another small update: I wasn't convinced the car had been serviced prior to me buying, the performace and idle seemed iffy at best. So a couple of weeks ago with the zed shed crew we gave her a full service and found the oil filter had collapsed this was also giving me cam shaft sensor faults. Now its all been done shes good as gold. The old plugs were BMW and happened to be the same as the one I bought from GSF So the previous work was done by BMW.

Also with the arrival of my V5 I got my Gel plates on
