Yup that is the orange!:rollsmile:

I also vote orange. thought it would look stupid but after the photoshop work I like! and to be honest there are so many blue and white cars out there it just wont stand out.

are you keeping the wheels?

 

[3V0M-WP]

I'm keeping the black 18's. I might sell the 17's

 

[Psymon69]

black should look good with the orange. and then later get the 1M wheels in gunmetal grey:rollsmile::inlove::inlove:

 

[3V0M-WP]

The car will look exactly like it is in my signature and avatar, except the colour and front bumper.

It will still have the carbon diffuser and mirror covers, black wheels and tinted tail lights.

Gonna pop in today and see if they've started

I think I'm gonna go for the orange.

Here's pics of the 2 colours:

The front bumper on the orange looks wicked. :thumbs::thumbs:

I went today to drop off the mirror. They started on the car yesterday, stripping it. Its gonna take them about a month.

The front bumper on the orange looks wicked. :thumbs::thumbs:

To do the 1M bumper, there's a lot of changes that need to be done, like the 2 fenders (cos they wider), wheel arch inner covers etc. I was thinking of doing it until I added up the prices for the other parts that need to be replaced. The 1M bumper is R5150 on its own.

I'm suer you dont need any more expenses than what you already have. But it still looks wicked. I feel your pain bro, seeing carbon in that condition must be hard.

But I'm sur she will be all fixed and looking sexy again in no time. Goodluck and keep us posted. :thumbs::thumbs:

It's heart breaking seeing one's car being stripped and looking that way, but when it's done in that orange colour, you'll be the neck breaker on the road.:thumbs:

Can't wait to see the final product:thumbs:

 

[herr bmw]

dude you let them put a broom leaning on your car:roflol:

 

[Sankekur]

Just make sure to give the car a good look over once it is reassembled, panel beaters a notorious for being some of the worst fitters around.

 

[Robink]

Glad you fixing! Good luck. Just something to consider regarding the colour - you effectively going to be the only 130i in orange and will pretty much ruin any chance of selling it on later (because of the buyer knowing of the major repair work). Unless you already decided to keep it for quite some time.

That aside, I think VO will look awesome.

 

[zaleonardz]

That looks really good, I was expecting the damage to be worse.

Keep the photo's coming bud
