Default My Car Before and After (56K Warning)

Well here is a pic of my car right when I got it pretty much. I think I got clear corners and bumper lenses on at this point but that was it.



Here it is after I got my kit and my rims for it. This is just me taking some pics to see what it would look like when it was done.



Here are 2 pics of part way through the body work on it. I was about 40% done the body work at this point I would say.





Here it is now.

looks like a job well done. i wish my ride was still mint - no door dings. looks like they did a good job on the right side too. Not a big fan of white rims tho. I would change the wipers to a black set.

BTW..what color did you paint it? Looks like a midnite blue?

The colour is BMW Montréal Blue. I want to sell my rims and get some white or bronze TE37s. Also the white blades I got for free because it took so long for my rims to come in, but they do work way better than the stock ones and in all this crap weather we are having it really helps.

No I didnt do any of the painting. I did the body work though. Also yes it is an auto. Far simplier to drive around the city with it then a manual. If I need a manual fix I always have my Golf.

Didnt you pay 3k for the body work? That dosent sound too poor to me.

Have fun with your 70hp auto showcar.

I bet all the bicyclists in town are scared of you. Because thats the only thing you are faster than.
