My Space Grey after Debadging and Reflector Delete

Used the painted reflectors from IND, Debadged using dental floss and then 5 layers of Zaino (AIO, Z2 x3, Z-CS). Very very glossy...

Looks great!! I'm anticipating the arrival of the Zaino kit to give it a try next weekend. i tried some NOVUS plastic polish on the head/tail light lens of the Z and wifes 325 Vert really slicks them up with no after residue. Also RainX'd the windshields

Yeah I did the RainX too. My car has a clear bra (Can barely tell?) and the headlights are all covered so no polish for me.

What am I missing? Painted reflectors? Are you speaking of the one's on the rear end?

Look just forward of the front wheel well... you can see where the ugly orange reflector has been replaced with a panel matching the body color. I plan to do the same and I'm very encouraged that it can be done without removing the wheels.

Let me know if you need any help. I posted my experience short of being a tutorial but I am willing to help any one. Removing the wheel is an overkill.

These reflectors are b*$ to remove but without them, the car looks so much cleaner.

It is called the side marker per the BMW parts manual

Thanks!

Rolf I looked at your webpage.... You know that the first picture is actually Nadya Arnaoult working on the interior of the door of the Z4 don't you? The caption talks about the exterior.

looks great - I like the chrome grill versus the black, especially on your color combination
