They are are 17inch RH ZW3 wheels but I’ve custom built them, 4inch lips on the bark and about to fit 2 inch lips to the front

Thanks mate! I've got a few big jobs lined up that I want to do videos on but with the weather at the min I'm just lacking motivation! plus everything takes twice as long on camera and I've just been trying to get stuff done!

I hate cleaning my cars and they all seem to be black :(

I’m up for this if you can add me to the list please!

Thanks mate! some better photos in my project thread

The camera on the Samsung S23 Ultra is fantastic! and the Z3 is not just for summer.

Speakers arrived 8am this morning, got to love Amazon Prime! they were 85quid a pair so not the most expensive but right in the middle of the range, I'm not trying to win a car audio competition, just need an upgrade! I set about stripping down the interior, seats and all the rear plastics...

Thank you! that's a fair comment about the wheels, they are pretty aggressive! I don't mind the originals and they still get used during the winter, but they just didn't fill the rear arches out at all

I think that's pretty much up to date now with changes and fixes to the car, earlier today I ordered a full set of 'focal' speakers for the car because the sound system has always let it down and I like my music! that should be delivered tomorrow (Saturday) and ill try and get them fitted and...

The next mot was due and I had a problem with the horn... it didn't work and this would mean a fail, I checked fuses, relays, replaced the horn itself, all the connections and it still didn't work, I narrowed it down to be the slipring in the steering wheel, it was too late to sort before the...

After the wheels were done, I carried out a rebuild on the rear end, the car is 27 years old and now has over 170k on the clock so as you can imagine some of it was toast! the brake shield on the drivers side pretty much turned to dust and caused my handbrake shoes to jam on! so I ordered a new...

The only other addition to the exterior up to now has been a rubber front lip on the bumper, partly for looks and partly to try and protect the bumper as the car is extremely low to the ground, it scrubs on every speed hump and every time I leave my driveway haha! I just cant bring myself to...

I love how the wheels turned out and on the car they look incredible! the fitment was mostly just luck, I didn't measure anything, I just wanted some wide wheels and would work it out afterwards! I had to swap the adaptors around, put the 35mm on the fronts this time and the 20mm on the back and...

MOT passed and the car went away in the garage for the winter. Now that it wasn't being driven I took the opportunity to give the wheels an over hall! I had had these wheels about 10 years at this point in there factory configuration, 17 inches, 8.5j on the back and 8j on the front, I felt they...

Hi Mate! thank you, if you reading the thread there is still a post in the middle that's missing currently awaiting moderator approval

The car stayed as is for a while then, I was doing a lot of work on my Caddy too at the time so this took a back seat, just used it and enjoyed it, couple of small jobs, the drivers side front calliper seized so I replaced that and eventually the mot came around! it wasn't too painful but she...

Next on the list of Jobs was replacing the front bumper, it had some deep scuffs and a large crack when I bought it, as if fate had planned it, I still had the front bumper from my old z, and the rear luckily... As I drive a work van for most of the week my ex girlfriend used to use the car...

After spending about a week with the car I'd decided I was not really a huge fan of the original red leather seats and floor mats, both the seats and mats were quite worn and stained and I just found the inside quite gloomy and dull. Luckily I had held onto the full tan interior from my old z...

My second Z3 and it was bought completely original for 3000quid pretty much the cheapest running example for sale in the UK at the time in a half decent colour, good service history but the car was far from perfect! ill try and list the specs and the issues below; 2.8 manual in black, with black...

Hi ladies and gents! Im James, and this is the love of my life, my 1997 2.8 widebody manual Z3! Bought around 2.5 years ago now for 3000quid and lots has been done and changed since then! I wish I had started this thread sooner but ill do my best to try and recap and keep it updated going...
