I was not happy with being able to see through the wheel arches and out through the front grill and air intake. Also at the rear of the front wheel it sort of looked un-finished.

I had previously 'chopped' the Z3 inner arch parts to shape, however due to the extra width of the from section of the body it left a huge gap. So I ordered some 1.5mm sheet of black plastic ABS and made an inner wheel arch liner.

I'm pretty happy with the result and will now need to do the other side, it took about 2 hours of adjusting, fine tuning, trimming so that the bonnet can open without it scraping touching. But now one side is done I just need to mirror it on the other so should take less time. On the rear there are also some gaps but nowhere near the size of the front so should be much smaller job.

Here are some pictures of todays work........
