No i used somone here in spain and the graphics companies over here are a bit behind on the times! The centercap decals are 'ok' but they would have been a hell of a lot better if i used my pal in Hartlepool.
I currently have a building site in Spain that my wife calles a villa, shes hoping to be moved in by the summer (thats summer 2016).
Also at the tribute dream factory is my G wagon/ML that needs some modification, a spray job and an interior trim.
And also at the tribute dream factory belonging to me is another kobra kit that currently fits a z3. Once the price drops even more in jan/feb for the Z4s then there will be a 1 delivered to the dream factory and the kobra z3 kit will then fit a z4......
If anyone is interested, my door handles where blended in then i found that no solenoid was man enough to pop the doors open via remote! So now when I unlock the car, the window drops to open the door from the inside.
I tried a 'kit' off ebay and then tried ford transit van central locking solenoids linked to garage door opener remotes. They worked fine 4 times then blew the remote kit. After messing about for far too long with it, i decided to make the unlock button drop the window. After blowing up 2 'magic boxes' (they behind the glove box on the z3) I decided to ring an auto electrician over here. He was there 1 hour and charged me €30 for the hour and €20 for the part! Happy with that! Ive now extended everything into the boot incase it fails. The boots opened by a 'normal' handle
Mine were eBay specials that didn't work. The company were good enough to exchange for their industrial strength version but that didn't really work either, perhaps 1 in 5 times.
They didn't believe me until I sent them a video and then sent a refund without asking for the kit back which I thought was very good.
If anyone near Southampton needs a door popper kit....
Took the kobra to a local car meet today with a 'SE VENDE' sign in the window. Had a lot of interest in it and an offer but wasnt enough for me to let her go.
There was a few nice cars there but nothing special, mostly american cars, lots of mustangs and caddys.
'Kit' from night rider made an appearance though, flashing red light on the front and even the interior done with te computer etc. sadly it spoke in Spanish!
