Nice DIY work :bravo: nice clean up with intake now, what was your mileage on?

Thanks man. Mileage is sitting on 101k km.

Did you do this carbon clean before? I am still to do mine and I'm on the similar mileage

No I have never had it done before. Definitely worth it though. If you are at similar mileage and have never had it done before then your intakes will look probably just as bad as mine did.

Took the car for a drive down to Cape Town a week ago. Seriously an awesome car to do long drives in. Not cheap on fuel though :thumbdo:

Took a couple photos on my way there so thought I would share.

These N54 motors have some serious power down at the coast! that's all I can say but damn do they drink down there!

When I got back to JHB I managed to get a set of Rims I have always loved on these E89's

Thanks to Arbie I did a trade for my rims for a set of his Style 326 rims.

I am very very happy with these rims. Love the look of these. My Calipers need a nice refresher of red paint now though haha

 

[Razz]

Stunning look
Love those wheels

Yeah I like it even more now, rims are top.

Those rims are perfect for the Z4 raise:

FYI careful over potholes...

O wow the new rims look awesome, perfect Z4 you have here!! raise:

Indeed they do tend to wake up nicely at the coast, feels like the car has like 15% more power at least whenever I am down there!! Stunning pictures as well.of your car on the trip! raise:

Thanks guys Loving the new rims. Gives the car a very nice fresh look.

@Cornel my name is Nick not Clint



PS. I made a mistype in my Post. The guy I got the rims from is Abie not Arbie

Can't wait to put the Msport bumper on that's sitting in my study. I am going to definitely try to make that my next upgrade!

Haha. :smilebounce:

Updates are coming very soon. My M-sport bumper has been fitted however its missing the two side mesh inserts and the oil cooler air duct and radiator air ducts so its not 100% yet. Those parts should arrive this week, unfortunately these things were back orders from Germany.

Once they arrive Kuvi is going to refit the bumper for me and then everything should be 100% perfect.
He also detailed the paint etc so the car is looking better than ever before.

Pics will come up very soon.

For now here is a bit of a teaser:


Paint on the shock tower that was damaged from the single turbo in the past is now all fixed thanks to @Kuvi@VPSRandburg. Looks like new! :smilebounce:

This shock tower had a bad thumb sized scratch/rub in the paint from a bracket that was fitted to put the expansion tank on this side of the engine which Afzil rectified for me last year.

Finally here is a teaser of what the bumper is looking like so far.
The gaping is all wrong due to the radiator Air ducts that we didn't know were different on the M-sport bumper. I tried to see if there were differences on RealOem but at the time I wasn't able to find the correct section on realOEM, The bumper section doesn't show any of the ducting.

As you can see Kuvi also sprayed the kidney grills gloss black for me and not visible in this image but the mirrors were colour matched to the car and so they are no longer silver, which used to annoy me.

Once everything is fitted properly and all the parts arrived and car washed again I will take some nice pics and do a little video walk around the car.

It was great dealing with Kuvi. Any issues I wasn't happy with etc he was more than happy to rectify for me and help me out with. Definitely recommend him!
