Just sticks better to a flat surface with less creases etc , also I always liked the alfa's like that , I have the original if people don't like
Paintwork is original the screw holes haven't been filled

Re: Sterling Facelift z3 , 2.2i , 119k , 18inch alloys + ext
Nice looking motor-- Interested in the comment about rear spacers-- Bought my car ( 2000 Z3 2.8 )and it already had 18" wheels on it, but they do tramline a bit - - usually when I'm not paying attention-- I dont have any spacers on the rears--What is the ''correct spacer'' size to cure the tramlining ??? Thanks
Re: Sterling Facelift z3 , 2.2i , 119k , 18inch alloys + ext
Depends on the offset of the wheel , the wheels fitted on this are et38 , and the rears are spaced 25mm
Tramlining is not totally eliminated , but vastly reduced.

the invoice says ET 40 - 5-120 SPARK BMAG, which with tyres came in at £994 in 2002!!!
Re: Sterling Facelift z3 , 2.2i , 119k , 18inch alloys + ext
fit a 25mm spacer and see how it is , make sure to get hubcentric spacers and remember your tyre will be closer to the wheel arch lip by 25mm

If you bothered to actually check, he has been a member since May last year, so no he didn't. Please leave it to the mods to decide whether an advert is to be allowed or not.si-forks wrote:Did you just become a forum member just is sell your car

SOLD , thanks for the interest.
Re: Sterling Facelift z3 , 2.2i , 119k , 18inch alloys REDUC
How much did you sold it then... 2500 seems cheap! Mein cost approx. the same but not looking as good, and it's a 1.9L!
Re: Sterling Facelift z3 , 2.2i , 119k , 18inch alloys REDUC
That's ok, it it the price you wanted for it! From now on they will be more expensive... spring is approching very quickly!
