Looking good mate , those rims are awesome , are you going to keep it silver or have them done in black ? I have the same issue with my M bumper , the gaping air ducts on the side. I had my mechanic customize a mesh grill for the front that covers the radiator, but not the air ducts . Can you let me know how much did BMW charge you ?

Thanks man.

Na they staying silver for the time being. One of the biggest reasons for me getting rid of my old rims was due to them being black :( I really don't like black rims, They work on some cars but its just a personal preference thing I guess. If I do decide to change them it would be to a high gloss anthracite colour.

The big middle mesh/grill from BMW cost a fortune so I hunted all the scrap yards in the southern hemisphere and eventually found one. I wasn't so lucky with the side ones. I managed to get them from BMW for R1.2k but that was after quite a substantial discount! they are actually I think R780 each. Then add the oil cooler air duct and the radiator air duct for another R1.7k if I remember correctly. and that was also with a good discount but I think rather have it all done properly and then at least it looks OEM with zero fitment issues.

Okay thanks , so call it 3K after discount . I usually get a discount from BM dealer as I order parts through them . I'll give them a call and find out .

The rims look awesome on the car, but I must say I dig the black gloss of your old rims , the full black on black looked good .

Like you said though , each to there own , my Z is completely blacked out .

Look forward to seeing the car with the M bumper complete

Some updates with the new bumper.
I also had the windscreen replaced as I had a nasty stone chip on the last one.

Never been a fan of convertibles but this car just looks :blowheart:.. That bumper changes everything and really looks good with the wheels!

Did you change your corona ring bulbs back to original?

Thank you for all the comments guys and I'm happy for the positive feedback regarding the bumper. It really has transformed the car!

Yes I changed the rings back to the originals because the one xenon bulb is showing a bit of a difference in colour, it's looking a bit green not ice white like the left hand side. I need to organize another bulb and then I will refit but I won't drive around with two different coloured lights :thumbdo:

Unfortunately I was recently retrenched so spending money on a bulb right now is not in my best interest. I am trying to find as much freelance work as I can for now or at least a permanent job so that I can keep my car as I really don't want to give this car up after all that I have spent and done on it. :blueCry: So my current plan is to do everything I can to hang onto this little gem.
