Neglected Zed

Post by TaffZee »

I have owned my Z3 for two and a half years now, and have neglected her, so this summer I am planning the following maintenance and subtle mods:

1) Replace the rear window (got one on order)
2) Refurbish the ragtop inside and out (some grey patches on inside)
3) Sort the driver’s window out (window stops and you repeatedly have to press the button to operate)
4) Electric mirror adjustment has stopped working
5) De-Tango
6) Wheel Refurbish (D.I.Y.)
7) Sort the paintwork out (small rust bubbles on rear arch & paint chips)
8) Clean and Clay the car
9) Machine Polish
10) Engine Bay Clean
11) Calliper paint
12) Chrome hoops
13) Possible new sporty cat back exhaust (or sporty back box)

Any advice/Tips on the best way to complete any of the above would be much appreciated
