Hey All,
Awhile back I joined the forum in my search for a BMW M135 and some advice, along the way I got some great pointers reading previous posts and getting others to help out on the history of the cars I had as options using the VIN number. Anyways, soon after I finally found a lovely F20 that I was extremely happy, colour wise, steering wheel wise and overall conditional of the car was stunning, the interior did not even look like it was a day old.
The the bug bit to get some changes to the car done and get it into the shape I wanted (Im extremely pedantic about the car and so is my family with their cars). The car had a few nicks and scratches externally in what looked like your standard shopping mall incidents but it still bugged me. Que the repair stage as part one to my journey.
Car was sent in about 2 weeks ago, we marked all the little things that I could see (which at the end looked terrible when one stepped back) but I really went to town and wanted everything small or big sorted on the body with my biggest issue being a deep paint chip on my drivers door from what looks like another door opening against the car.
Then came the cosmetic aspects that I wanted done at the same time (the wheels are still up in air at the moment as Im not to sure what I want to do there hence why they have been left the stock colour). All these changes will be wrapped up finally with a detailing and ceramic coating which I cannot wait for.
Pictures and task list all includes below
Both during fixing phase and now during detailing phase.
Those pictures were heart sore to see however these arrived today:
Complete list of things done:
* Scratch on passenger door
* Bump on passenger rear wheel arch
* Slight fold in the bonet
* Scratch on drivers door
* Ding on drivers door
* Blacked our mirrors
* Blacked our grille
* Blacked our inserts
* Blacked our chrome on rear around badge
* Blacked our front M-Badges
* Blacked our back M135-Badge
Being done now:
* Blacked out Rear Defuser to match
* Detailing Interior, Exterior and Wheels
* Detailing of Calipers
* Ceramic Coating Entire Car and Wheels
