Thanks to @Alan Slade and Maxine for coming round this morning, plus my neighbour, and the bonnet was bolted back on.
With one minor adjustment to one side, we got it positioned.
Had to adjust the bonnet locks and bump stops and got the shut lines fairly close but a bit high on drivers side.
But that was now down to me to play around with it , so went indoors for tea before Alan and Maxine had to go as Bertie was probably sitting cross legged at home wanting a wee!!!!!
As it was sunny thought I would have a go at trying to improve the shut lines, so after playing about at the front realised there were side buffers as well, so adjusted them and it made an improvement.
This is for Alan’s benefit.....as he pointed out that the badge was crap , so with my new set of trim tools that arrived this morning I swapped it for another one that I had.
It does look better!!!!
Got this lot for £6.79 and free postage off ebay
And thats it , nothing left to fit
A Huge THANK YOU to Alan and Maxine , @Jjim , @Ryan atkins , @spurs fan in a coupe , plus everyone else who has helped me with advice and encouragement.
If nothing else, the Z3 learning curve is not as steep as it was a year ago when I bought the car and joined the forum.
Just to prove that I am a complete tw@, I will share this with you.....
Boot light all checked out and all refitted, so decided, as suggested to use my mobile on video ( instead of grandchild) to check it goes off when boot is shut.
three times I filmed it and the screen was just black every time.....then realised the camera lens was on the other side of phone and I had been filming the carpet........What a plonker!!!!!!
