Can't wait to see it finished.

250 swb base cars
Chris, I am really looking forward to seeing the finished article, will the kit fit on a z4 base as well, I think the top windscreen rail attachment would be a lot cleaner and the z4 coupe windows are the right shape, I like the idea of having a fully built self collared gel kit which is fully bolt on, all be it more expensive. It would make it much easier for most people

My favourite view so far and that boot looks big enough to get the weekly shopping in , Geoff .

Oh YES!
I didnt expect it to look this good. Not doubting Chris's skills at all but i suppose due to the super accurate buck this looks utterly spot on.
If this is a kit in future, i want one.

Has anybody measured the "windscreen rail" on the Z3 and Z4? How close are they?

I am still weighing up the various options for side windows and may even have different set ups either side of the car for Donnington.

To be fair to you with the short time left and to give customers a good idea what to expect, why not primer it, fit non functional opaque side 'windows', bolt on some non-functional headlamps and chrome door handles, and sell, sell sell!!
If you're stuck getting it sprayed, if you can trailer it to Swansea on the way to the show I'll primer it for you.
It's looking great Chris, well done.

Looks really nice, perhaps if I'd seen this before I started on the XKSS, I'd be putting an order in!
Will make a huge difference with the nose lowered a bit as you say,
I am also looking forward to seeing it complete in paint! Well done Chris.
