Lovin_it Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Well the car has been in since Wednesday for the corrosion warranty. I was told I was getting it back Friday but on Friday got a phone call to say the bumpers, bonnet and doors were still off and it will be Wednesday till the body shop will be all done. So that's a few more days driving the 5 door MINI one D I have, now with 400 miles on the clock. Here are some pictures of the rust I took the morning of it going in. Will post up pictures when I get the BM back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well I think they have done a good job. Wish I had got them to respray the front bumper now and just paid for that myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 I don't think the colour match is perfect to more I look at it. Old paint and new paint I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Well after putting a compliant in it seems that BMW are going to respray my car again. I went to a couple of other garages and they both said they could match the paint better that it was. So this was put in a e-mail to BMW customer services along with some pictures and it is to be done again now next month. i am hoping to get the front bumper done at the same time. Here are a couple of pics of how I got it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted August 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Can't wait till this is all sorted then can start to spend some real money, coilovers ect. For the moment still doing little bits, this was missing since the day I bought it, not any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennno2005 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 See what you mean about the colour match. Silver is a very tricky colour to get right I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted September 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well got the BMW back from the painters, s cons time lucky. It looks so much better now and the colour is a match. I am very happy this time round, that e-mail I did to there customer services complaining has paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovin_it Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) So I am after getting a few bits together as I will be on leave from work for about a month over Xmas so want to do some stuff to the 330cd. I have swirl flap blanking plates ready to do that job, but some help please for other stuff. I am going to go for the Eibach Pro Kit for lowering springs, have had a bushes changed over the last month or so, so I think I am ready. Is Ebay the best place/price for these? Also want to fit halo rings to my headlights but really don't know what ones are the best. Doing some research just turned into a mind field. I don't want the colour changing ones, just the right ones for my facelift lights. Any help/links would really be great. I know I will have to get the hairdryer out to split my lights. Thanks for the help. Edited October 23, 2016 by Lovin_it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
