Haven't found any Ken. Only the sticker type ones, which I wouldn't have much faith in tbh. That's why I bought the red BBS wheel centre caps.

I've had the sticker type in the past that wrap over the original badge and they were ok. Just be careful when washing over them so you don't catch the edges and peel them off. I've got carbon ones on at the moment, I've had so many over the years I've lost count because they always go dull or fade. But they are cheap, I got a box of 10 earlier this year for just under £15 which should last me a while. Red and white would look good on yours.

I think they would too Dave. Did you find any carbon Red and white ones please? Have you got a link?
I thought that if I used the stickers I thought I would give them a coat of laqueur.

I got carbon red and black from aliexpress. I'll try find a link to some red and white carbon ones. They don't list them as BMW though anymore and sometimes blank out the logo for copyright issues I presume.
 
I don't know what size badges you need but have a look at these

They say stickers or emblem, I would guess the emblem comes with the backing plate (ABS type) and maybe the sticker is just the badge part (acrylic type). Normally the ones you stick over the original badge are classed as a wrap. Can't see any pictures though but they are cheap so maybe worth a punt but they will take a while to arrive.
 
Cheers mate, muchly appreciated.

After some comments about negativity I am happy to post this video recorded at Dunham Bridge last Sunday as we were headed out for a couple of days. A nice compliment received from the bridge attendant at 2.00 about the red roof on my Z4 on the video.

Tony.

ps. I would also like to point out that even if he had said he didn't like it I would still have posted the video clip. It's my car and I will do with it what I like, same as everyone else.
 
Hi Tony, I hope you have not taken my comment to mean I dislike what you have done to your car. On the contrary I think your car looks awesome. My comment was meant as a fun comment to which I expected your usual reply. If it has caused offence, please accept my apology.
Cheers, Tom
 
What are you doing with the roof up on a clear day, Tony ?? :cool:

Always good to have some craic with those guys, must get lonely sat in there for a shift.

I did like your comment Tom and took it in the manner it was intended. NO offence taken whatsoever. And thank you for your kind comment on my car. I can take positive or negative comments without favor, though I am happy you like what I have done.

A job coming up in the not too distant future, if the weather stays mild.

Has to be red, don't you think?

A bit of Winter prepping as it will get used through (some) of the winter months. ;)
I gave the roof seals another clean and applied some silicone spray,

But this time I used a different way of applying it. After a good shake of the can I sprayed a small amount into the aerosol cap and allowed it to stand for the propellant to flash off. The remaing silicone spray was then applied using a small artist's brush.

A more accurate way to lubricate the seals.

Hey Stu how are you ?

Tony.
 
E85 or E89 ?

Tony.
 
Hi Tony, love the Zed, I think the E89 is the prettiest of all the Zeds. Perhaps we’ll get up to see you and Shirl at Torksey next year. I hope so. It will be nice to get out and about again.
Mike and Sandy.
 
Thank you, I love it. Like I said when I first saw your white one at Torksey the dash and centre console hark back to the Z3 as does the clamshell bonnet. We hope to get something organised for next September around here.

Tony.
