Copied and pasted off bent detailing forum much...

Nice ride, didn't realise you had got the CSL wheels. Much better!

I've seen a few new Z4s on the road now and really like them, shame there is no M model.

Nice and sharp compared to kit. But a pain in the ass...Can't use it easily for cars! I need a wide angle lens!!

 

[Justin]

I'm debating going for one, or a 10-22..

We need to get the TT buffed aswell

Varies, That took approx 14hrs...But could of done with another refining stage...Properly, 20hrs!...But you can easily machine polish a car and fire on a coat of wax in about 5hrs...Not much fun tho! I found the BM paint a piece of piss! Surprisingly enough!

In a diff league. I used the DA for Blackhole tho! So it's not redundant.

 

[JR]

Ah all makes sense now why your old pikey rims are on your brothers

 

[Josh220]

Ali, you know how to clean a car and take pics. Looks great. Love Z4s!

 

[Ali]

No no. Those are his! He got both the CSL's and the OEM rims when he bought the car.

I'll be needing new rears at some point! 3mm left! £300 a corner!
