E85 3.0 Z4 Roadster Project

[John Gordon]

hard top is a god send in the winter though, to me its worth it alone for real glass in the rear, and heated glass at that!

 

[Waitey]

Don't Z4 have heated glass in the rear anyway?

If not:

hahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha

 

[Rob]

It's already real glass and already heated? lol!!!

 

[Laura]

Exactly, there is no need!

 

[Waitey]

Thought so.

Even cheapo MX-5's have that.

 

[Rob]

I just quite liked it. Gave the car a different feel for winter. FU all.

For now, I'll leave it.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Buying a soft-top to get the roof down and pose, then putting a hardtop on it that takes two people to take off. I dont get it it :slap:

All this talk of front bumper though, i hope its a Z4M one to go with your impending 19" CSL rep and Eibach spring purchase?

If not, you are homo.

 

[Rob]

Nope, it's a regular z4 bumper, not even a facelift ffs! But it was soo cheap I couldn't turn it down.

I'm having it painted on the cheap too, so it's an awesome way to tidy up the front end.

I'm not going CSL's now, I'm sticking with the 108's I think, they're coming off within a week and they're being refurbed then re-rubbered. When summer's coming they'll go back on, possibly with some eibachs and some spacers

Oh, and I'll hardly have the roof down for the next three months, so it's not exactly a push having two people take it off then.

 

[Waitey]

If you want to spend £700 on some thing that'd be worth £700 next spring, just put in the bank.

 

[Rob]

But the bank won't keep me warm and reduce noise in the cabin.

 

[Waitey]

Buy a car with a better roof?

The porkers is quieter than most hardtop cars I've had.

 

[Rob]

I give up. I just wanted one OK?

I'm leaving my roof alone and going to sort my wheels out, OK?

 

[Laura]

thats fine!

and the cabins not cold are really that noisey lets me honest lol

Rob, as a fellow z4 owner I am disappointing by this comment, hell I had the roof down this morning at 5am. Hartops are for ladies.

What have you chosen for the 108s then

Good man. The rules are if its not raining the roof should be off.

Rob is not playing by the rules.

He's a lady.

 

[Rob]

108's will be silver, nothing else. I am massively pro silver wheels. Winter wheels will be grey so I don't have to clean them.

 

[jicholasnackson]

Followed to the letter (apart from frosty/icey roof) much to the wife's displeasure.

 

[jicholasnackson]

Good shout on the silver, fancy chrome powder lip for true oem look?

 

[Rob]

Not a hope in hell. After having mine done all silver, they look much better like that.

 

[jicholasnackson]

Personal preference then, although I cannot disagree with all silver looking good, just a pity mine aren't clean atm.

 

[Rob]

Yeah definitely, I'm not a fan of the OEM polished lip I guess.

 

[Bodge!]

Exactly.

Regardless of how cold it is, roof off / down in my case!

Saves me de - icing four windows, just do the front one, and leave the others, just put them all down!

 

[Gally]

No! It actually looks good as a soft top! Zero need!!

 

[RDH]

Get the hardtop. Looks quite good.

 

[Wick]

Sell car. Save money from not buying hardtop. Put combined money towards 3.0si coupe. You know it makes sense.

 

[Rob]

Look who's back motherfucker...

I'll not be selling or buying anything, I'm having all sorts of mares that must be sorted first.

 

[aucky]

108's will be silver, nothing else. I am massively pro silver wheels.

Me too, if bright. Like really bright flakey silver.

(which wheels? TLDR)

 

[Wick]

Look who's back motherf**ker...

FLOL!!!!!

Just had a pulp fiction moment.

 

[chris_p]

You know the roof is pointless you're just trying to annoy us now lol.
I've always found the cabin noise impressive for a soft top on mine!

Shame you're having problems mate. Any idea how to change the battery in the fob? Mine just went!

 

[Rob]

Can't say I do mate, sorry.

However, winter mode, engaged...

 

[Hixle]

Would look good if they weren't f**king green.

 

[Ray Gin]

That 2nd pic is so awesome!

 

[Rob]

Would look good if they weren't f**king green.

This, I am aware of.

However, spunking money on painting them is pointless.

Cheers Liam!

 

[Laura]

looks great

 

[Hixle]

I'm just jesting anyway mate, it genuinely looks good on those wheels!

 

[Scrooge]

I prefer these wheels, anthracite would look awesome but you're being too much of a minge!

 

[welshname]

Those wheels are a million percent nicer than the standard items.

 

[Rob]

It needs different front tyres are these are catching on full lock, but not badly. And yeah, they need painting, but thanks all.

It's a good ride on these and being thinner on the rear certainly makes the tail more "playful".

 

[Scrooge]

Thinner on the rear, I'm sure the tyres are the same size?

 

[Rob]

You what?

All four WHEELS are the same size.

Rear tyres are widder, but lower profile, fronts are far thinner, but like 50 profile. I need some 45's so they don't rub.
