Looks great, is that a splitter on the front, where did you get it from ? Regards Steve
Well my quad setup started to rattle inside because it has got a loose baffle, and also the factory fit middle silencer was getting a bit crusty looking
So I fancied a change, to get a different sound and also a slightly different look.
I wanted a Yocky style one with a split pipe after the cat, but the guy at the custom exhaust place said that was not really necessary, and by fitting a single Duplex box it would get the sound I wanted.
So he fitted the below, cat back , I had the middle silencer removed, and I decided on a set of black iridescent tips instead of the chrome ones, to give a different look.
The exhaust note has changed to a growl now, not that the old one was nasty, however it was quite loud.

Sorry just spotted this
The front splitter is just a rubber trim as from here:
Front Bumper Lip Splitter Body Spoiler Protector Rubber Universal 2.5 Meters | eBay
Peel the backing off of one end of the lip. Position the tape so that the lip is protruding towards you. Install on the underside of the bumper starting at one end of the bumper. Make sure to press firmly.

Wondered where you’d got to, just knew Pete wouldn’t be let off.
Little update, fitted some different DTM style angel eyes
These have a lens in front of the led's similar to modern BMW headlights.
I fitted these in front of the inner lenses this time around:
Really pleased with them:
In my opinion, this is the shape Z3 angel eyes should have always been, with a flat bottom to match the flat bottom lenses.
I have fitted the horseshoe ones loads of times in the past.

Z3 DTM Angel Eyes.
I trialed some DTM angel eyes in my headlights 12 months ago, because I liked the shape better than the horse shoe shape. At the time I used some designed for a 7 series as they were the nearest sizes. They were strips of leds but with a flat bottom, I placed them behind the lenses so that the...

MOT passed this morning, no advisories,
and no issue with the new DTM angel eyes, in front of the lens
I did cheat a bit though, by using the Z4 wheels, as 2 of my tyres are soon due a change, and didn't want to risk those as advisories.

Next time just put your plate on my car and you won't need to worry about any advisories.
apart from "missing a front end"......
OUCH !!

You'll find half of it at the entrance to Wickes carpark, you know the one where the Z4 broke down
Not car tinkering, but more a surface for it (and me) to sit on,
Used some 5mm coin rubber flooring, It came on 3 rolls
Its really heavy too.
I scraped the old paint off the floor and glued it down:
and black silicon sealed all the edges
the rubber smell is fading now,
I have some thin pieces of ply to use under the trolley jack, the axle stands and the tilting lift, so it doesn't damage the surface
It is insulation from the cold concrete, and is comfortably cushioned enough to kneel on too,
Cleans easy with the small leaf blower, then just a wipe with quick detailer on the sponge mop..
Well pleased.

Really like that Pete, I do need to do something with the floor in my garage at some point.

ps. I acquired some thick rubber strips last week but that's another story.

Looks a tidy work space that.
