got my car fixed... aero front bumper + sideskirts, sans aero rear bumper

shiyan · 02-08-2008, 02:52 PM

had to get a new front bumper 'cause the original one was damaged

I really like how the new front and sideskirts add a line at the bottom of the car to mirror the line above

conveniently lost the ugly black front number plate holder too

I didn't like the look of the rear aero bumper so I decided to stick with the stock item

the eekmobile needs a new 'Ring sticker

Car looks awesome! I think the Z4vert hartop is one of the best looking hardtops out there, with the integrated roof spoiler.

But I got to say that plate on the front of that new bumper makes baby Jesus cry!

Man that looks GREAT!!!

I'm partial because it sure looks like mine.. Did you have the whole car resprayed? If not, they sure did a good match on the paint..

I love that kit, I just wish it wasnt so expensive

The pictures of your car definitely helped me decide on getting the sideskirts as well as the front bumper, so I must thank you

The car was not resprayed, just the new parts

I had everything done at Centrauto, Deurne, in Belgium http://www.centrauto.bmw.be/ - my car, my mom's Cooper S, and dad's 5 (I advised them on their car choices, lol), are all serviced there, and we've always been happy with their work

Yeah I really like the hardtop. Got the Z4 book today, and there was some interesting info on the hardtop.

I wish I didn't need to have the front number plate, but it would be illegal to drive without one

I probably wouldn't have bought it if I didn't have to replace the front bumper

thanks

there are many things I'd like to get before other rims though:

braided brake lines (pads and fluid already done) and CDV remove
tires
anti roll bar
suspension

I bought my car 2nd hand with the hardtop (I specifically looked for one with hardtop), but I think it's quite an expensive part
