That colour is great! Really suits it.
I think a moulded rear screen would be better to keep the lines straight as the Micra one starts to curve in at the edges but that's just me.
Looks like a GB scuttle could help it - the Z3 screen is always a bit long and would be nice visual enhancement with chrome screen surround.
Hoping you keep the colour - nice one

Much nicer with the proper bonnet. I think Smash is right about the rear window.

Bonnet option works well, I like the open scoop too ! Whilst I have gone for dark blue paint I had thought of Aston Racing Green or similar shade. "Illusive" blue would also look the part if you wanted a retro blue.

Well done! Especially like those door handles.
Where did you source them?

Hi Geoff, have you got any updates on your build? What colour did you go for in the end?

Casamolino - who did the bonnet modification? Looks amazing.
Hoping you post some ‘after paint’ pics.
Wish I could somehow work out how to have a z3 updated and then shipped to the US. Your car is going to stop people in the streets so that they can take pics of it!

It’s looking wonderful!
You got me looking for donors last night. Managed to find a 120k mile Z3M for $8k but the wife would kill me.
I’m still waiting for my Caterham kit to be shipped from the UK.
I think seeing yours painted may tip the balance.
Good luck with the painter!
