Not sure if the guy is a member on here or not? Would love to get a bit of insight on the decision and process here...

Kudos for the commitment to the car. Quite interesting to look at a naked Z4M...

Can you imagine how much that would cost at over 60 hours work at a BMW dealer in the UK.....ouch!

even more impressive if it was re-sprayed a nice colour.

I love the colour. Close to Sepang Bronze (it might even be, my eye's a bit s**t for that kinda thing)

Hahaha that's a mate of mine! It is indeed Sepang Bronze. I was never impressed by pictures of that colour online, but trust me, when you see it in person it's absolutely beautiful!

What do you want to know about it?

I'd be keen to know the cost. If it was reasonable and I found a dealer I trusted here in the UK I'd consider this at some point.

I believe the cost was somewhere around AU$14k. This was an extensive job done by a BMW body shop so you are paying for a pristine result.

He got clear paint protection film fitted afterwards but then had a bit of loose steel munch the grille and the bottom half of the bumper on a recent M Club run :(

Looks great, love it. It sure does look like a quality job.. I should know, the hardest thing to fit back in are the window guards that are flush to the roof.
Absolute nightmare of a job. Hat off to these guys.
