what can i get my z3 for 12th birthday

Post by mikeysaling »

Yes - I cannot believe I have owned my z3 sport for 12 years this month. I would like to buy a pressy !! Anyone know where I can purchase chrome engine parts (covers I expect) . Or anything to 'tart' up the gals engine bay - I've given her a good clean outside but feel she would appreciate an under-bonnet makeover .

Replace the hose clamps with mikalor stainless ones; you'll be surprised how much it brightens up the engine bay! Also, dash wipes bring a good shine to rubber hoses

Mirage do a nice range of stainless steel items for the Z engine bay if you have a look at their website. I bought the oil cap cover, you can see a pic on my thread.

You can "wrap" the fusebox cover with a chrome / brushed ally wrap..... new windscreen washer liquid reservoir bottle maybe.... or give it to a detailer to do a thorough engine bay / motor clean-up...

Hi Mike. You could treat your Topaz Blue Metallic Z3 to a pair of Chromed Grills/Vents for the front wings. My car is the same colour as yours and it really does set the car apart from the rest. There is just something that Chromed Grills/Vents do for the Topaz Blue.
Happiness is a well kept Z3 and preferably running with the hood down - weather permitting.
