i bought my kobra already fitted up from tribute but went down the more modern route and have changed all the lights for newer LED syle so have a full set of 'classic' style for sale as a job lot if your interested?
I have;
2x 7" front headlights
2x 7" chrome headlight rings
2x front amber indicators
2x rear amber indicators
2x rear red stop/tail lights
1x clear reverse ligh
1x clear fog light (red bulb)
1x chrome number plate light
2x chrome external boot hinges

Make me a good offer and there yours. (pm me)

However everything is normally sourced on ebay, and if your wanting to go the more modern route, check my build thread out, ive just put 20" alloys on mine.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with your build!

Thank you again for your order Mark.

I have run Z3's on 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19" wheels, and personally found that 17 or 18's are the best compromise between comfort/handling/looks.

We use the following parts for a "basic" build:
