My Project Z4

Seats finished, ended up applying the paint by sponge 3 more coats. The airbrush didn't like the thickness of the paint, it is water based and can be diluted by up to 10% but decided to keep the paint mix undiluted and sponge apply. After drying did use the airbrush to apply 3 coats of finisher which gave the finish a Matt look, my choice as didn't want the Leather looking too shiny, prefer the matt look. Very pleased with outcome, not the best picture doesn't show how well its covered the wear on the bolsters but it has without making the seats look too perfect, just the finish i was after.

Well i think this progress thread must be nearing an end if that can ever happen on a car approaching its 17th birthday
I must be running out of things to do. Re painted the strut braces in a slightly shinier Satin black, also painted the Air box and fuse box cover that had scratches and a dull finish. One other job, been meaning to do every time i got in and out of the car, giving the area around the door hinges a good de grease and clean. Looks like that's it its finished. All i need now is some sunshine to enjoy the Z.

In that case Paul you can come start on mine! :pYou'll have your work cut out for you. Experimented in Scottish off roading has probably filled my sills back up with crap.
 
Rear spacers arrived today, shall i fit them now or save it for another day?

Looks so much nicer Paul.:thumbsup:

Tony.
 
They look great :thumbsup: , what a difference. Definitely going to get some on order.
 
No idea what you mean mate.=))=))

Being my impatient self ordered the front spacers (Lock down May spend allocation) going for 12mm
Only drawback as i see, will be parking further away from the kerb to protect my alloys
Hopefully one day will be able to go out and enjoy my upgrades

Both cars cleaned and now the front spacers have arrived. Almost worth stopping in for
 
Front spacers fitted, 12mm on the front 20mm on the back, don't think i would want them any wider.
Horrible noise coming from back plates created and sorted, all done.
Nothing left to do until it needs cleaning again.
All spacers fitted.webp
