If we're mine I wouldn't do that. Because the panels will be at different angles to the rest of the car there will always be a colour change due to light reflection etc. I would ask for just the roof to be painted.

I agree srhutch. Also the roof doesn't meet the the bodywork paint, the nearest it gets is the boot yet it is still separated by a centimetre or two of black trim so shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the advice though :thumbsup:

Now there is a precedent for BMW accepting this as a warranty claim hopefully the next poor sod won't have to go thru the donkey work you have had to.

Next job.....

Get the wheels done.

Cheers Stu.... they were done before we went to Zedfest! :P
I thought they looked alright to me, I was wondering what all the fuss was about......... :?

Anyway back to the Chateau neuf, see you in a week or two.
