can i ask you how you installed the seats, and what hardware you bought to make that work using the stock belt system. any pictures of the actual seat install? how did you work around the passenger occupancy mat/sensor in the stock seat?

i LOVE your instrument panel.. just LOVE IT!!!

so much goodness in this build thread mate, thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks Vanne

The hardware was bought in a local motorsport shop here in Norway. So no links, sorry!
It took som time and it was a big prosess to make those seats fit well in the Z. I have no pics of the install.

The seat trimer grinded down the outher edge of the Recaro seat ears before it was trimed with alcantara. This gave me more space when installing the seats.

Seat belt buckles has actually switched positions, left on right seat and right on left seat. This gave me also more space.

The occupancy sensor shall be tricked with a bypass fix. I have bought it, but not installed it yet. It tricks the system to think its sitting a person in the passenger seat all the time. It also tricks the seat belt warning alarm.

Yellow looks good

Those I bought was more or less plug and play.

But installing it in a roadster could be a challenge, it looks much harder. But not sure, it was pretty easy on the coupe

My Z got some new touches this week

New custom made exhaust tips in satin black

Made me a custom sticker with VIN and the new colour code/name of the new Lambo paint

Last, maby a little stupid, but got the idea from Laferrari. A custom plate showing 1 of 1

deemo319 · 04-07-2016, 04:57 PM

I can't see the color and VIN sticker.

Vanne · 04-07-2016, 09:30 PM

I can, looks great.

Did also install new doorspeakers for Bavsound... A great upgrade and very easy install

Finally I glued my new custom center doorcards together with those oem nappa doorcards...

Still waiting for seat mountings, retrimmed steering wheel and painted interior trim.

Some shitty phonepics and actually impossible to see that the stitching is red

My spare steeringwheel

Looks great!

Q: do you need to remove the door panel to take the door cards out?

Look great...

Yes you do, they are plastic welded to the door panel

I`m now close to completion, just doing some finishing touches these days

So used the weekend very well, and wet sanded the whole car. Hood got 1500 grind, then 3000. Rest of the body just 3000, wanted to have som clear to play with later

Will soon do a photo session, so no finishing pics before then

SaltyNC · 05-02-2016, 09:05 PM

Wet sanding looks fantastic.

Didn't I politely ask you to stop showing us pictures of your awesome Z4 Coupe?

Damn you have a cold ride!

Looks amazing!! I've had three Z4s but always regretted selling the first that was a coupe. I can't wait to buy another coupe. Mine will be a Zmc.
