Nice, I had very light tint on them, but they lost the contrast...

Yes, they are. Thinking of using a spacer in the rear. Got 265/30-19 tires, but will try with 245/35-19 next. Your wheels sits perfect in the wheelarch. Mine isn't perfect yet...

So finally here is the pics of my new Mstache carbon splitter and Tekarbon carbon spoiler.

I wanted the splitter to stand out just a little more, so I did a pinstripin to it

The easy way had been doing a vinyl pinstripe, but I wanted a painted pinstripe. So I bought some red vinyl and used it as a marker for the fineline masking tape

The Tekarbon carbon spoiler was a little uneven, but after some filler and sanding it was straight

Next it was painted in car colour, but the backside was kept carbon. A pinstripe was added with the same technic as the splitter.

Both parts got two layers of clearcoat after the Rosso mars Lamborghini red pinstripe was sprayed on

Final result

Splitter fitted together with my newly painted headlights

Rear spoiler fitted with glue..

VossenCoupe · 11-14-2015, 05:33 PM

It looks great you have very fine taste ?

Beedub · 11-15-2015, 02:34 AM

best coupe of the forum by FAR.... totally uncluttered, fresh ideas, looks absolutely perfect, really does look something special.

Veeery Cool!

bmwZ · 11-15-2015, 09:57 AM

Thanks for those great comments

Took some shots of my Z in the low Norwegian sun today!

Im not a photographer, so the pics are non edited. The Z is not perfectly clean either. But I gave it a try to show you how the Grigio Telesto colour changes in the sun

Steeler · 11-15-2015, 10:11 AM

Great ideas perfectly executed
Fantastic looking coupe

dubsesd · 11-15-2015, 10:49 AM

i love it! you are giving me an idea with the red pinstripe...

outline the black sideskirt decal with red and the other is a half carbon, half silver mirror with a red pinstripe to divide the finishes..

It gives the 3.0Si that little extra... No problems yet, still I think that is a little sorry for my engine. On high revs it gives so much more punch than a stock 3.0si. The gears is also much shorter than before. Never driven a Z4M. But it feels faster than a E46 M3...

I haven't heard from anyone else installing the supercharger. It makes me wary to buy the kit. Who tuned it for you or does it come with a tune that works immediately? Also, do you have headers with your supercharger? Thanks!

that color is BREATHTAKING! legit, its one of the best color combos I've ever laid eyes on.

That is because the kit is not available for the Z4 yet. It arrived approx a year ago for the E90..
So I got ESS to mount a E90 kit on my Z4. Some mods where needed, I will think that they soon have a bolt on kit for the Z4 as well... They have a finished tune that boosts 0.35-0.4 bar. So very low... It has been tested as high as 0.9bar on stock internals...
