Are you talking about the gap where the bumper is? Nope there was no damage at all. The other side is perfect, i have to bring it back on wednesday to fix the gap, i noticed it yesterday |  |  | | 06-12-2006, 07:49 PM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Northern Michigan Posts: 867 |

I'm still tinkering with my hood and have it pretty damn close. as for bumpers...there is a little side to side adjustability when installing the reinforment. but once the plastic push rivets (hold it inside the bumper) are pushed in- that's it. All I could do is try to center it (the reinf.) as best I could, and hope for the best. All that said- your side to side looks good (line up the dip with the grills). that side gap-?? maybe he missed the slide? nah can't be that...any movement on it? Does the inner wheel liner line up? Should be fixable. __________________

The inner wheel linner almost lines up you cant even tell because the car is low. I know he said he did a little customizing becasue of that, but on wednesday he will adjust the bumper for me | | | | | 06-12-2006, 09:34 PM | #19 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |

Once you use the pad for a few days you don't even know it's there and it's just way more comfortable for the driver. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

Very nice car. I love the color! Now you should get a clear bra to protect the front of the car. __________________

Hey tyler I like my seat belt pads too bro
The lip i used was on bav auto, and i got universal adjustable splitter rods, then my body shop guy customized the splitter so it would be able to have an inch and a half of room to move up and down and lock in place from behind. He did an awesome job | $1700.00 for a complete paint job?!?! Thats an awesome price. Makes me ponder going to MASS for a paint job. Looks like they did a great job. Did they take everything apart or did they just tape over everything? Your car looks great, excellent choice in color! __________________  | | | | | 06-13-2006, 12:44 AM | #25 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Fall River, MA Posts: 192 |

Maybe I'm the ideal height for BMW ergonomics, but the belt fits perfectly over my collarbone. __________________

If your car looks as nice in person as it does in the pics, you got a great deal on the paint job. Very nice! I like it. | | | | | 06-13-2006, 02:31 PM | #29 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Fall River, MA Posts: 192 |

Your car looks great, excellent choice in color! | you should come to NC then. I got my e32 painted for $1000. They were going to charge me $800 but I wanted to change the color. I had to pay cash and didn't get a warranty or receipt. The job wasn't perfect, but it was very close. I'm going to go to them again when I need another car painted. | | | | | |
