Hi,
I made a front grill up from black aluminium mesh and some rubber beading,then secured it to the original horizontal plastic strips.

Aircon`s a must out here------in the summer i often run it wih the top down .

And likewise from purrfect Perth,Australia

2-way personal plate

Sorry about this guys -----Drove to the golf course overlooking the Swan river at 6am, 27deg sunny,drove back home about midday 36deg.The top probably won`t go up for the next 3 months.

Has anyone got one that is about 15000 kms S.E. of London-----Perth

Front bumper grill in black powder coated aluminium and personal number plates then tomorrow,a new rear window

I was interested, I wanted something to put over the roof when the car was out in the sun. Partly to stop the leather getting dryed out and shrinking and partly so we weren't getting into an oven for a drive home. But the post above regarding the magnetic strip sticking to and marking the paintwork...

Has anyone fitted one of these; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z3-AFTERMARKET-LOWER-FRONT-SPORTS-GRILL-2-2-2-9-/350112985631?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ABMW&hash=item51845c321f Looking for something to give some protection to my intercooler and these look pretty good ...

Hey Southernboy sounds like you got a good deal there,mine were $190 delivered from U.S. e-bay,and have now wired in the led`s to be drl`s.I hadn`t seen the ones from Taiwan,look ok and not a bad price.

Just fitted a new pair of projector fog lights with in-built led`s as per photo.Great fit except a slight mod required on the main lamp connectors,on the original, the 2 male pins are offset from centre by about 2mm(typical bmw) whereas the new ones are centred in the housing.Purchased from the stat...

230 pounds sounds pretty good from a bmw dealer,I just paid $280 plus $50 postage for a genuine one from a guy in the states.A bmw dealer over there wanted $320,Pelican parts wanted $320 plus $180 postage (sent flat I think).Here in Aussie the dealer wants about $700. The bit about the hood shrinkin...

Hi guys that have the buzztopz cover---looks great and am thinking of getting one but do you reckon there is any chance of the, what looks like hard plastic surrounding the magnetic strip,scratching the paintwork?

Thanks Stu,not dyno`d yet,spending the $`s instead on a zip in window and radiator from the states.

Here`s the car and supercharger.

Hi guys how do I add pics to a post,have read the FAQ`S but not much the wiser.

Yes no probs Gazza,will organise something nearer the time,what suburb are you staying in? I`ll load some photo`s shortly.

Finally have the supercharger fitted and runs like a dream,not had it dyno`d but certainly feels like the 50% increase in torque/power that ESS claim.Very happy with the quality and fitment of their gear.Won`t recoup the cost but great way to drive.

As our summers are long and hot in W.A. I left my top down for a couple of months,more or less full time.I recently noticed the canvas coming out of the beading at one corner and when I went to slip it back in,the beading lifted off the window.(I reckon its 10yrs old)I`m now in the process of orderi...

Hey Stu when you put the supercharger on did you do any other mods like clutch,diff mount etc as I have just ordered one from the states and my mate reckons it should be alright as it is.

Many thanks for the replies guys,found it interesting Stu that you`ve had the charger for 10yrs as that is my worry as to engine longevity.,and yes have looked at the ess site.The difference for me is I`m in Australia (Perth) where the cars are a damn sight dearer than the uk and to pick up an equiv...

Thanks for the reply but I had already had a look at that forum.I just wanted some info specific to the 2.2 which I don`t think was sold in the States,just Europe and Aussie.the other poss.is just to re-map-any info on that as well. t/y

I`m looking to get a bit more out of my Z3 so has anyone supercharged the 2.2l M54 engine,if so with what results?
