New to the forum

Hello Y'all, I am new to the forum and to the Z models. Just purchased a 2010 Z4 3.0 and will be glad to get ideas and info on front lips, side skirts. There are a scratches and curb rash I would like to cover without having to repaint. Lucky, none can be seen unless laying under car.

Howdy. Pics please !

If I may, my first priority would be to ensure the car is in sound mechanical shape. Brakes, tyres, fluids, hoses, relays, rooftop maintenance, etc. Then tackle cosmetics.

Thank for your message, I am working on that and first fix is the oil pan, it is leaking, also a brake fluid flush. everything else is in good working order. Car was inspected today. Although I am new to the z models I have been driving Bmw's for over 20 years now and have a good reliable local shop.

If you have DCT, word is it’s prone to leaking, and a PITA and pricey to fix. Worth checking that.
