    Another chop....

    A bit shonky, this one... but I just couldn't bring myself to spend ages on it.

    I added the M5 wheels, lowered it (a lot!), put a slight smoke on the rear lights and removed the rear three-quarter windows. I also removed the parking sensors, badge and towing eye hole, and I added the second set of exhausts too.

    Since you spent the time working on the pic, you might want to attach it.

    ... and, now as we have material to work with

    I like it.

    The rims look great on it, as do the 4 exhausts.

    It's tempting me to get back into chopping... haven't done it in ages.

    Nice. Looks good without the 3/4 windows

    Cheers, that bit was the hardest - I had to put shadows in the interior of the car, move the door-joiner on the cant rail and make sure I kept the crease that runs down the C-Pillar. I used a gradient tool to make sure it looks slanted.

    Tip for next time- flip the second exhaust horizontally. It's just me being picky...

    No, no you are right, and I did actually try that but it looked funny because the underbody section of the exhaust appeared to originate in the right-hand wheel hub. Also, the shape of the gap cut in the rear bumper didn't look right when it was flipped either. It has had some 'manual modifications' but I couldn't get it just so.

    Yeah, I like the chop too. Somehow I found the actual Z4 coupe to be quite awkward from the front but perfect from the rear. I think the headlights are too big. I don't find anything wrong with the roadster though. Strange huh?
