My freshly 'minted' 318i

Fri Mar 11, 2005 9:15 pm

This is my 318i,freshly painted and fitted with new wings, currently still at the bodyshop as its having some finishing done (the sills and rear valance painted black ala factory style) Still need to find me a dechromed roof gutter trim as i'm missing one! Still needs machine polishing and it was dark so the pics dont look great, looks a lot better than before though!
Looking forward to getting it back, ive got some nice deep dish mims to go on, getting them refurbed first but wasnt sure whether i should leave them silver or get them finished in grey?!?!?!?

Got the full car painted, had some chips on the roof where the prev owner had a habit of dropping his keys, which started to go, and the sunroof as they always do started to go, its had 2 new wings and boot shut area done as the seal had trapped water n it'd started to bubble, the spoiler was also the wrong white and the mirrors were flakey!
Yeah i was gonna keep the mims silver but ditch the anodised finish they have. They came off my golf 16v but theyre bm offset! See below! Btw its been lowered on my photoshop

Cheers, it was only bought as a cheapish daily driver but i got a bit carried away because i enjoy driving it so thought i'd spend a bit extra and sort it out! The paintjob set me back 700sheets! Just need to figure out why the angeleyes have stopped working
