Looking very good. I bet there were a few like that guy in the last picture scratching their chins wondering what it is!

Also got a contact with someone who has a set of Borrani wheels in his garage so he is sending me some info etc. Good show and good talking about it.....cheers. |

The good thing was a lot commented that the proportions just looked right, which is testament to Chris and Dan back in the shop....Cheers. |
Looking very classy and really fits in with the big-buck Astons. The 'Italia 275 GTB Prototypo' plates are a nice touch.
Is there a rear screen rubber with a chrome trim available? If so, to my eye it might be more in keeping with the rest of the car. Keep up the good work! |

I have the chrome trim sat in the garage ready to go so hopefully will be the end visuals that work....Yeh I liked that plate and I think it helped me with the fezza enthusiasts as well. Might keep some of that for the final badging. Cheers. |
Good to see your continued progress.
The photos look better out in the open. We are envious of your parched grass ! |
Ahh yes, just zoomed in and can now see the channel for the chrome trim.
I fitted new seals and (plastic) chrome trim to a 'Bermuda' hardtop (rear window and two huge skylights) for my Midget last Autumn. It was a real pain in the fingers, even using the special tool and silicone spray to lube it so good luck when you come to fit yours. Great looking car - I think its styling hides the more modern windscreen slope better than most Z3 based cars. |

The exhaust sounded just about right out in the open spaces, gave a good crackle/reverb once backed off the throttle. Might be a touch loud for cert, but i’ll see what I can work with that. Apologies forgot about the sizing of the rear lights for you so just done it. They are total trim dia of 145mm and light lense dia of 125mm. Hope that helps. Cheers. |
Quick wheel update, I have been offered (after getting my details in the show) a set of Borrani Record RW3591 5.5x15 wheels with knockoffs.
Originally probably from a Ferrari 400 Super America. Have made initial back and fore but I think they are possibly going to be too pricey. But I do have an option to take 1 on loan to see if they fit/suit the car....They are bloody gorgeous but might be dreaming only! Keep ya in the loop! |
I'm positive the Boranni's will be very expensive.
Have a look here: https://www.truespoke.com/72-spoke-c...ce-wire-wheels 15x7 72 spoke cross laced |
You need to be careful before jumping in and buying wires for this car. I bought a set of centre laced 6"-15"'s. They only just go under the arches and I've had to fit narrow 185 tyres along with the Z4 rear hub conversion. Most of the Borrani wires that suit the car will be the deep dish style.

Using 205/65/15's. Fronts were okay so far. Still need to install the coilovers. |

Love the way the angle of this photo shows off the shape of the car. :cool:
