Looking good clubber. Do you have any good detailers in Turkey? I think that would top it off nicely

I love what you've done with the wheels, Z3M Hatchback is my favourite modern classic BMW.

You can tell that I might not be a BMW enthusiast, but the company has some nice cars such as the likes of the 507, Z8, 8series and the Z3M (my personal favourites).

Today we had the rear sound deadening piece repaired.
The welding damage,



First the new patch was cut to burned area's mold.



Then sticked and melted to the burned area.



Then my painter throw a bit of dakar on it,



and a few hours later, it was like new,



He then prepared the side grill for repaint.



Since the car was on the road again, I took her to the wrap shop to have the chrome door handles wrapped in black for the plastic look.





and then mounted the handle frames which were wrapped a few days ago. Bye bye chrome.





Last but certainly not least, I took the car to the wheel shop for the big moment. Mounting the new chrome shadow OEM wheels.

There they were waiting for me..



I bought a set of new center logos to go with the new wheel nuts and M logos,

+

The guys at the wheel shop were top notch, they even masked the areas of the wheel where it holds the balancing equipment.



KimK bottom



and finally with its wheels on back at the shop.
Once it got there, I put on the super expensive M logos for the wheels.





and that was it for today...

Nothing has been overlooked. Stunning, Clubber! The wheels look perfect now. This is more special than buying a brand new BMW. Can't wait for professional photos.

Thanks Misha, I agree with the specialty part. I like pouring my own blood and sweat in to my cars, makes them more special and everlasting ...
The car should be done in a week and I will have a proper photoshoot.
