My Project Z4
- Thread starter Paul Rice
- Start date
Built the drivers door back together today, before doing applied 3 strips of the waterproof building tape to the inner face of the door. First impressions much improved door shuts with a more re assuring thud in place of the tiny sound previously. For £13 from the builders merchant a good fix.
Jacquies not that understanding!
Whats next then Paul?
Looking good mate.

Dont like the aluminium interior bits so trying Carbon fibre wrap, Not sure about the look may go for Gloss black instead.
Just a couple of bits completed so far.
Could be another job for Sean then Paul. Get them all off and let him paint them
Tony.
If you do paint you could have subtle flecks of the exterior colour in the gloss black. A work mate did the same and it looked great and totally individual.
Nice Idea @Grumps , Thinking more about a discreet red fleck to match the seats. Anyone know of a standard manufacturer paint that may fit the bill?
No but I know of a place that does it near us Paul.
Completed the Carbon look and all the interiors back together, bit of a pain having to remove the entire centre console but now its done happy with result.
Dash before with Brushed Aluminium:
Now the new look
Could not have attempted this without some great help from several you tube videos
Next job full detail and touch ups using Chipex, if its half as good as they claim should be just the job.

BMW Ruby Black - it’s a Z4 colour too.
Paint Code: X03
Get your steering wheel trims done also to complete the interior.
Its looking great Paul nice subtle changes but making a difference in the over all look 
Not sure i needed this, but does sound good! 
Glad to see it arrived with fittings and instructions, Flexi hose is a optional replacement for the cold air scoop.
Old airbox a sea of plastic.
Smaller than the one i've seen on @t-tony car but do like it, would also like to fit a heat guard at some point."O did i mention the noise"

I never thought mate, I could have supplied you with a price of thin alloy to make a shield. Shed will be open on Saturday afternoon!
