briancol 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 As some of you here will know, I had an accident in my car about a month ago. Well it's now back from the panel beaters and looking great. I took the opportunity to make a couple of changes while it was there, ie Angel Eyes, Eye Brows and colour coded the grill (a suggestion from Glenn) I would like to thank Peter Groves of Topline Auto Panel and Paint,Pukeiti Rd. Otahuhu. Peter is a BMW owner and was very sympathetic and helpful with the rebuild. I would recommend him to anyone in the Auckland area who needs work done on their car.

Mark 178 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 Paintwork looks good and the colour coded grilles are a nice touch. Not a fan of the one piece headlights though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
briancol 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) looks good Brian, did you decide not to get upper eyebrows / eyelids.No mate, I don't really like the lids. Next project is a lip on the front bumper, get rid of the catalytic converter and replace with a straight pipe and a sports muffler with twin pipes.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Congrats Brian, I like the colour coded grills. Get those rear side mouldings back to black, they don't match the ones on the doors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to see you have it back and your happy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Congrats Brian, I like the colour coded grills. Get those rear side mouldings back to black, they don't match the ones on the doors The photos were taken when it first came from the panelbeaters, it has since been cleaned and polished and the body mouldings beeswaxed so they all are the same colour.
