You fixed it yet?
Have ye no faith? ...Course I have
Not before I got sent the regulator for the wrong side. That'll be the last time I presume someone knows which side the near-side is.
I will now be sticking with "UK steering wheel side" or "UK front passenger side" when describing the car!
Finally got a chance to play with the new toy that I bought for my new toy - A 'DAS6 Pro' Dual Action Polisher 
Never have I ever used any machinery like this before, but it was a doddle and I easily got to grips with the DA on the bonnet and bootlid just for practice today. And here are the results after polishing the offside of the bonnet using the medium cut menzerna in the first pic:
More little updates to Zara coming very soon... Just waiting for them to arrive in the post

Hell of a shine there David, shame about the gargoyle.

Nice light bulb and you need a shave,
As promised, another little update...
Zara has lost her name badge!
Having always wanted my own personalised registration, I stumbled across this one the other day and clicked 'buy' fairly soon after. I was looking at a rather expensive BMW related plate, but I figured this one would outlive any other plate because it is name-related - my initials are DSR. Happy David!

It's a set of custom exhaust tips made by MachineMonkey - a member over on Z4-forum.

Them tailpipes are fantastic quality, I have a pair on my zed. Had to modify them slightly to fit but looking to change to a stainless back box soon.
Car is looking great David, make sure you keep the tips clean!

3x little mods accomplished this weekend
1x clean car not accomplished this weekend!
Exhaust tips mentioned above have been fitted:
A replica of an unmentionable brand's ram air scoop fitted:
...And finally I performed the old sound generator mod to my engine. No pics, but essentially the mod involves removing a piece of foam from a pipe that feeds the intake noise through the bulkhead. Removing the foam increases noise in the higher revs, and therefore increases the car's SPH (smiles per hour).

A hardtop ?
Well that was short lived!
As the winner, you get a prize now...
Keep an eye on your inbox, I'm about to send you an exclusive DIRTY picture.
Pictures as promised after a quick clean:
The plan is to get it sprayed to match the car before winter starts (which will probably be next week!!). Although I don't dislike the contrast! Shame my seats aren't red...
Initially I wasn't keen on the Z4 hardtop when I started looking for a car, but now I have one on 'Bee', I really like the change it makes to the shape of the car, and really happy with my investment

Looks great, a hardtop on a Z3 changes the look massively and it does the same to the Z4, yet they seem to be more elusive.
Just realised... Red, yellow and black - could my car be any more German right now?!
Thanks Dave, you're right - I have not seen another Z4 with hardtop on the road yet.
They always come up on eBay, but their price-tags often reflect their rarity.
