Nice car

Post by Big mike » Sat Aug 26, 2017 3:01 pm

Hi guys
Havnt posted for a while been a member about a year my car z4 stering grey 2.5 s
Ok when i bought my car i needed 4 tyres and brakes and discs all round got that done didnt have a lot of service history but i had a really long test drive had no2 service and its all good a lovely car to drive BUT theres always one
I had a few stone chips on the front and they went on the bonnet as well so i thought i would get the front painted
But the guy i chose made a bad job putting it mildly we nearly came to blowes any way a couple weeks later i rolled in to someone at a rooundabout and i cracked the front panel and flattened the front panel :x so i was well annoyed plus beating myself up
So i got a price from bmw 800 pounds having a laugh got one from ebay for 100 result found a local company to fit it and repaint the front and they have made a cracking job you cant see the difference i told him my story and they buffed the rest of car to much free of charge
I am not a fussy person
And the car for me now is in excellent condition mechanical and body work a great car i just love it and driving it
Sorry i could not make zfest the other week it would have been nice to meet you alll i was still jet lagged
I now you all like photos so hope these come out
Thanks for reading

Come on OP, you can't tell us all about the history of what 's happened at the front, then one pic of the back. Very nice though the back is. :wink:

And a proper Ae. :D

Hi mike, sounds like you've had some rotten luck coming to blows with your painter & then beating yourself up at the roundabout :o
Hopefully things will settle down now :thumbsup:
