Very nice, the black wheels suit the car, any pics from the front? The tips are from the guy called machinemonkey over on the Z4-Forum who makes them himself and are excellent quality. I have a set fitted on my Z3.

I tried Fly Eyes and it's quite frankly nasty unless you are about 10 feet away! Fitted it on one headlight and then peeled it off again. Left it on the rear clusters for a day and then soon got bored of it...

Yes not a fan at all really but it's obviously easily removable so going to remove on my lunch tomorrow I reckon. It's been lowered using Eibach springs, and feels good.
Driving home the traction control light and another came on. I switched the car off and on again and it disappeared then reappeared 5 mins later. Not sure of this issue.

I couldn't believe the the mpg figures though!

The headlights aren't the best Connor but you can improve them by polishing the lenses and fitting some Osram Night breaker bulbs.

Is it an Auto or manual Connor, mine sometimes puts the trans light on, mainly though if you turn the ignition on and wait a couple of seconds till the lights go out it doesn't.

I got mine cheaper from Andrew Page Dave. They were £14.40 inc VAT. Euro's were £18.00 + and wouldn't budge on price.

Manual Tony, it went off then came on again. I've read somewhere about sensors getting wet?

Have you got a code reader mate? Easy to find out where the fault lies.

Loving it.

Ended up having an economy run on the way back due to the poor visibility and traffic, I'm SO HAPPY with the result though.

36mpg and not a motorway in sight.

Sounds incredible, a couple of niggles to sort but overall chuffed to bits.

Added photos from the Ad as its too dark, photo shoot at the weekend.

Looking good mate, I don't do black wheels but it's your car so if you like it that's all there is to that. Hope you enjoy it.:thumbsup::):)

I'm not too Sure on the wheels either to be fair. I'll see how I go, I'm sure I'd be able to swap them for a different set, quite like the split rim ones not sure what BMW style the are...

Does the film leave a lot of residue when you remove it Gaz? Wanting gone asap but got nothing around the house to remove the sticky stuff if there is any.

Cheers,

Connor.

If you warm the fly eye with a hairdryer it'll peel off. If there is any residue left it can be broken down by WD40 which doesn't harm the plastic or paint.
