  1. Is this a common fault? Whenever I use the headlight washers the drivers side one sticks & has to be put back manually.

     

    It's not a major thing, just looks a bit daft driving around with one in & one out?

     

    Any quick fix solutions?

  2. Great thread....

     

    When I was looking to upgrade my last car (Z4 2.5) I considered the following:-

     

    1. Z4 3.0 - nice car, good performance but expensive if you want low mileage, service history, etc.

    2. Audi TT 3.2 - again nice car, good performance less expensive than Z4 but just didn't want the constant 'hairdressers car' comments!

    3. Mazda RX8 231 - discounted after test drive, just didn't feel like a 230 bhp car?

     

    These are the cars that I thought were initially in the same category as the 350z, rear wheel drive sports cars! I didn't look at hot hatches, sports saloons, etc, I have had these in the past....I wanted a sports car.

     

    Anyway, I bought a 350z &, well, it has everything, 3.5ltr, 300bhp, great sound, great handling!!....& all at a very reasonable price for a low(ish) mileage car with a full service history as well (ok economy isn't great but you can't have everything can you?)

     

    So in conclusion & sorry for all the 'waffle', I think it actually fits into it's own category.....as there isn't really anything to compare it with like-for-like when considering performance, value & kerb appeal.

     

    There I've said it now, note to self, must try to be less serious :dry::teeth:

  3. Thanks for your comments, ideas, etc.

     

    Don't think I will spray myself based on previous 'attempts' at spraying, but thanks anyway marsman, maybe one day........

     

    So really need to decide between spray & powdercoat finish?? Will let you know soon & post up photos

  4. Thinking of having my wheels sprayed, dark anthracite or similar (car is metallic grey)

     

    Has anyone had this done by any companies in the Midlands area (I am in Tamworth) Also how much did you pay?

     

    I used Derby Alloys earlier this year to refurb/spray alloys on my Z4. They did a nice job so would be happy to use again. They have quoted £160, spray only, no refurb as this is not required. Which I think is a fair price?
