That is one lovely looking zed you have got and a real credit to you doing all the work yourself. The wrap looks amazing and I like the way you have installed projectors into the headlights. This is something I want to do to mine in the future.

Unfortunatelly the MOT rules in my country are very strict: you can't touch rims& tires(except the dimensions admited by the producer at the time when the car was launched), brakes, head lamps. I tryied this year to add some LED Daylight driving lights, in order to make the car visible without using the whole set of service lights, but I found it forbiden and even subject of the cancellation of the car's registration !
I will try now a device using the high beam of the car....seems they will not notice that is an aftermarket fitting.....
There are also problems when changing the exhaust , if it's laud.....
The only field without restrictions is the interior......
So I like so much the accuracy of Barone's work , but I can't touch....too much.

Hehehehe dear zeti in italy it's exactly the same..... but with some little exploit you can do it...
The supersprint exaust comes to me with a paper approved by law, that i can fit that particular type of exaust on my model of z3.
The BBK is out of law but a cop cannot know if it isnt an optional of the car... usually i say 'i only painted them, do you like??' Hahaha
also do you think that law allow me to use an 'home made headlight'?? But every and i say every person that saw it tought that it was original...
after all, when you see on a car something that it could be original... 99% of the times its original
ah rims and tyres....
i left the best at last
For the rims theres no particular restriction you can stretch the tyre as much as you want.
Tyre measure instead are wrote black on white, on the paper of the car. But again here in italy if you have, someone (here we call him a friend of a friend) that it work at MOT with under a little payment usually 600
he can update your paper with measure that you need.....

Well done Barone, I have done the similar mods to mine including the wide body conversion, so appreciate the work you have done so far.
