What have you bought for your Zed this week?

Great! Thanks for update. So how many days has this delivery from your order taken? Fo chrck all the items are correct and let us know.
No, because the vendor quoted my model year, among other facelift years, that it fits and didn't provide a part number.
Eddie Zedder is correct, it does look like a pre-face lift. They slope in the opposite direction and much more sharply.
Lesson learned - again. Never trust an eBay vendor! I can only hope BMW themselves are more reliable.
6 days from order to door. Not bad to be fair.
Good luck mate, you doing it yourself ?
Yep that's the plan. Doing a similar job on dad's e46 ended up with a few snapped bolts and new hubs needed, so hopefully that can be avoided. There was also more angle grinder useage on that job than we hoped for! Hopefully, with enough time this weekend the old stuff should be off.
Love of lessons to be learned, that's for sure!
Thank you

Red 7. Spray on wash off for the wheels. Used it over a friends and it worked a treat on my Z4 Style 293's which are a bugger to keep clean

Magnetic number plates came just in time for autocross tomorrow....first time back in 40 years.
My OEM aerial grommet arrived and I've just fitted it. Soak in hot water for while to soften the rubber, a smear of washing up liquid on it and it pushed down into place quite easily. Thanks to whoever on here who suggested a means of getting the aerial back up into it by using a long M5 screw, large washer and an M5 nut. Screw the screw into the aerial mounting point in the box of tricks hidden in the wheel arch in the boot making sure the washer(s) are big enough to protect the grommet but not slip over the nut, and tighten the nut steadily until the top of the pre-amp assembly is pulled up sufficiently to re-bolt the amp housing to the body fastening point.
The girls have changed their phones, so a new charger cable required. To match the Z colour scheme:

Full clean, clay bar, machine polish and ceramic coating.
Can highly recommend Karl who did it from Northern Shine Detailing in Bolton.
Need to get a chrome/polished tip for the exhaust now if anyone can recommend the best place to get one?
