Chris: Badly in the wet, with Ant driving it (faster than me) he was on par, but I was being overtaken left right and centre.
Kev: It's back to looking pretty again now, wheels off and full clean yesterday.
It's nice to have a car that can be both ends of the scale, power wagon, then swap the wheels over and off we go.
The amount of brake dust was frightening, cleaning it yesterday was a nightmare!!'

Not updated this for a while....
Not much has happened TBH, some idiot decided to overtake where they really shouldn't have, so I had to bump on the kerb to avoid them, this = two lightly kerbed wheel "barrells" and then using a wheel as a gazebo weight wasn't my best idea = one damaged star. So yeah, if I want the wheels to be mint again, they need some re-powdercoating.
I also discovered my oil level sensor wasn't working, so fitted a new one, turns out it was faulty, so they've delivered another, but I've got to drop the oil to fit it, which is a right wanker, so I haven't bothered yet.
I also need new tyres soon and can't be bothered to pay for them, when I'm back off holiday I'll be buying 19" CSL's and some eibachs, after seeing some back to back pictures of a car on eibachs, I cannot believe the difference it makes. Looks so much better.
Oh and a quick picture of my car from CSS (Luke waxed it for me so it was shiny), more updates soon:

Looked great at CSS mate.

Definitely mate, it's been a while. Have to have a pint or something. I want to see the transformer roof too.
There's some recent back to back's by "bing" or similar, the difference is immense. The pics are on page two though I think.
Cheers treacle, loved the 200 too.
Got to be done I think, worst case would be std wheels and eibachs.
You just want to sell your tyres!!!!
There's no way in hell I'd run those wheels as they are, just don't keep with the car image.
Cheers again!Looking good Rob!
If I'm honest, I never liked z4s in silver, but yours does look nice, the black grill suits it perfect.
You still enjoying it then? I am mine I'll pop a project thead up at some point and take some decent photos.
I did exactly the same thing as you btw with the thread on z4forums with the springs lol, it's got to be done at some point!

Heated seat buttons have arrived today, this is going to be fun.....
Cheers mate, I'm actually a big fan of silver cars (can you tell), but to make them look good they always need to have things like mint wheels, and properly black black bits etc.
Look forward to seeing some proper bits about yours mate, I'm still really loving mine, like, loads.
Cheers mate, sorry about the centre caps
For once, you're actually right.

Good call on the CSL's mate.
Rob

Like I'd make any other.
Going to sell my wheels, sling it on the track ones for a week and then go CSL style, all when I'm back from holiday.
Shouldn't really do any more credit, but one little thing can't hurt, right?

Yep, 19's too.
Just wired in my heated seats (totally at work, "working").
Work just fine as far as I can tell, but it's bloody hot outside so I didn't want to leave them on for too long.
New control panel with two more buttons though, boss spec.

Pretty impressed with the heated seats so far, need some cold weather to give them a proper go as now I just get too toasty.

I've seen your attempt at clutch control, you're in no position to comment.
