Completed BMW Z3

Hey everyone,
This is the most recent model that I have completed. Again, I would have had these pics up 2 months ago but I couldn't get my hand on a digital camera. This Tamiya BMW Z3 roadster one of Tamiya's simpler models. There were no difficulties when it came time to fit all the pieces together. It was baisically built straight out of the box with small modifications. The wheels that came along with the model were ugly and small and would therefore do no justice to the model so I bought some xs-tuning 17inch rims. With just a mm of lowering, the rims filled in the wheel wells very nicely. Then I thought that there was something missing or incomplete at the back, so I added on a spoiler, which fitted the roadster well.
Here are the pics, tell me what you guys think.

Re: Completed BMW Z8

It looks good, but if its a Z3, why do you call it a Z8 in your topic?

Yeah, I just finished doing my Z8, and it doesn't look anything like that.

Re: Completed BMW Z3

nice build. I like the spoiler it adds a nice custom flair to the car. maybe it should be yellow but it looks nice either way.

I disagree, I think the spoiler is a good feel if you wanted it for a woman's car. I have always felt that the BMW Z3 was a woman.s car and the added (Black) spoiler makes it just that.

I think it looks very kewl!!!
