Hi people
Hi, I am new on this. I joined after looking at the great info I can receive for my Z3. I have only had it one week and have had neons fitted underneath and a full Scorpion Exhaust system. Any one any other ideas on mods or usefull web sites.
Hi.
Welcome Oakthorn.
Congrats on the new car and the uprated pipes.
Your next mod?
Get rid of the neons.
It's a BMW, not a Corsa......
AFTER you've done that, then add a front strut brace.
This will make a world of difference to the handling, but check with your insurance company first because some don't allow safety mods like this.
Cheers.

Welcome!
Indeed and check out this mod too http://www.mz3.net/articles/249.html some where there is a diary of the way its done, using one Electroluminescent strip zig-zagged the length of the gills, it has proved to hard to findcalbens wrote:Oakthorn, how does the car look with the neons underneath and what colour are they?
Get some photos posted!!!!

I agree with Gazza!
I like the look of neons, to me they look pretty but it doesn't mean that I would go and do it to my car.
1. I'm way to old
2. I like my car just the way it is.
No chrome add ons, did all that with my old Mini
No extra body bits just plain and simple .....how can I call the Zed plain and simple
I think I'm trying to say that it's beautiful enough in the buff (wish I could say the same about me
)
Good link estocks. I've actually looked at this page before, not with the intention of fitting, just curious to see the effect. The only neons I've ever fitted were on my sons yokomo remote control touring car and that was bad enough lol
But each to their own, we are all different and more importantly, enjoy your car!

Neons? bleurgh, not my thing - sorry mate, might as well get it resprayed in the Burberry chequered design.
But as I've been preaching myself lately, each to their own. Must practise what I preach, so out of curosity, I'd like to see what it looks like on a Zed, have never seen one on the zed before, so post some pix please.

Yeah, to a point, but surely you gotta draw the line somewhere.BimBeema wrote:.....each to their own.
Comparison to the Burberry hood is about right. As discussed before, Zeds don't appeal to chavs, which is absolutely fine.
There's a reason for that.BimBeema wrote:.....have never seen one on the zed before...
You want neons?
Please, sell your Zed and spend your dosh on a 1.1 Clio with stuck-on plastic bits.

I have no problem with either. Neons are great fun if you're 17 years old and want to make your small hatchback a little more interesting and eyecatching. Huge amusement and entertainment for all!calbens wrote:Alfie wrote:

Take it you don't like neons then Alfie.... Or Clio's
But I'm a little older than that and yep, I'm a fully paid-up member of the BMW brand snobbery club.
I desperately hope that the beautiful design classic that is the Z3 never falls prey to the 17 year old neon market. What a humiliating demise.

hehe!!! I don't like neons either as I said, but I was just being polite to the newbie and out of curosity wanted to see what he's done to the poor Zed!
