Can you give us more detail on how you painted the calipers ? ie, what brand/color code of paint, how you painted ( spray/brush ), did you have to take them off, or paint in place ?, etc etc
I have the same color combo ( AW/red ) , and was thinking red calipers would look sharp.

Nice colour combination looks real sharp! Congratulations.

Only one recommendation would be to make a bit more room in your garage. Looks much too tight one day you just might make contact with something or something might fall onto your car heaven forbid (I hope not).

jacked up the car, one wheel at a time.

1. took the wheel off (caliper left in place)
2. taped of the brake disk and surrounding area
3. used caliper cleaner
4. used DupliColor spray paint, 3 coats (Racing Red, not sure of the code i will look it up when i get home)
5. put the wheel back and leave for few hours to dry

* if u get pain anywhere around use a cloth with a drop of paint thinner to clean but i recommend covering the area around well

i did the same on my e92 and used a brush, this is better, less streaks and much smoother finish

yeah i know, i hardly ever use the garage (at least before) i cleared it since we were expecting a major hurricane, and now just got used to keeping it there.

i have to find time to rebuild the shelves and u do have a good point cant have anything falling on it

So if my math is correct so far there are 4 of us Msport, AW, Coral in NYC/NJ area... Ross Dock photoshoot coming soon, guys lets set it up I have the camera equipment, it should be a nice day... Also come by my shop in East Rutherford if you roll by into NJ... 10-15 mins from Lincoln...

I have had my Euro plate on for 1.2 months now, 8-10 cops seen my car, no problem, though i did get pulled over by a cop but he just made sure I had my temp tags up

I wonder if that guy has a brother in Santa Barbara? If you park at the beach for
the art fair, you might have a ticket for no front plate.....even if your car is registered
in AZ. ) They are crazy about their front plates there, AZ itś an option.

1st gear=
2nd gear=
3 rd gear=
4th gear=
5th gear= 5%-10%
6th gear = normal

Today was cloudy and I still need to learn how to use this GoPro... Apparently its too dark and upside down??

Anyone free on Sunday, October 2nd, to meet up at Ross Docks in Fort Lee, its 5 mins away from NYC, about 20-30 mins from Staten Island, I think... Traffic isnt too bad on Sunday mid day like 2PM?? The sun should be out and good for photography and video, by then I should have all my equipment, we can roll into a place to eat afterwards and talk about how much we all saved on this car because of the BMW promo on Z4 or how we hate RTF...

either I like to meet my fellow Z4'ers for a good time, especially my AW/CR peeps
