That's looking well now Tricky
That model really needs the bumpers to complete the look.

It will draw many admirers at Stoneleigh

Looking really good - very much looking forward to seeing this at Stoneleigh

It is looking great, I've always loved the restrained styling of this model. How do you do the chroming? The bumpers look like fibreglass. Do you somehow have these chromed? or get metal copies made? Or cast in bronze or aluminium or...?? Always wondered and would like to make bumpers and other chrome bits for my one-off designed car too.

My car is finished now, just a couple of bits to be put on , then it a polish and grand unveiling at stoneleigh , might not be any photos now till stoneleigh
Come say hi , I'll be there on the Sunday all day on the Dna stand

Im guessing you will be easy to spot as you will have a big smile on your face. :)
Has it got the bumpers on?

tricky360 22nd April 2016 05:32

AcC8braman 24th April 2016 05:38

Coming to see this one for sure :)

Is that a custom windscreen I see? It doesn't look like the Z3 original.

The screen has a chrome scuttle moulding and chrome finishing strips to give that illusion.

Mitchelkitman 24th April 2016 17:52

Now -that does look good!

molleur 24th April 2016 18:01

Impressive!

Lord Treganna 24th April 2016 18:35

Wowee. So we can source donors that DON'T have the chrome windscreen surround?

That's correct

smash 24th April 2016 18:48

Wow! You've developed this quick - very impressive, looks spot on.

Really interested to see the chrome in real life - was the grille surround done the same way as the bumpers?
