She's a beauty man, welcome aboard.

I really like the OEM+ route you've taken, the car looks uber clean.

Can't wait to see the progress. Get ready to open the wallet up a little wider!

Your car looks outstanding. By far, the best Z4M I have ever seen. I am a fellow ringer as well. I have been at least once and sometimes twice year for the past 4 years. The video's on youtube is not a substute. What makes your wheels "custom"? Are they are CSL wheels but different offsets?

Basically they've just been refinished in a different colour (custom just sounds better ) - they were in the standard silver when I got them, but had them painted in a shadow-chrome-like finish....

M3noDrft, I'm always curious to find threads about my car on other forums (which I'm not a member of) - do you have any links? Love the Teck/Mischief videos so had the sticker on the car for the photos. Took the rear one off as it spoilt the otherwise clean look, but still keep the ones in the rear quarters..

A few below...








I'm speaking to a guy at the moment who is going to make me up some carbon fibre door inserts to replace the current leather ones. There's also a company that do a carbon fibre replacement dash panel (to replace the current piano black one), but not sure if it'll be too much....



Also, welcome to the 6!
Thanks

Is the TCK carbon roof applied over the stock roof or that one is cut out? I ask because I have seen a WRX with the carbon roof simply glued on over the stock roof.

It's a complete replacement roof panel. We took the old roof off. It's fairly straightforward though - we did the job on my driveway!

Remove headlining and undo four securing bolts (one per corner)


Cutting through the bonding agent with "cheese wire" (kindly donated from local windscreen replacement depot!)


Roof off!



Remove old sealant...


Apply new...


Roof on!




A bit scary at the point where we were half way through removing the old roof! But I had help from a couple of mates who are in the bodyshop trade..
