330ci Sport - repainted

Some better pictures of the car, like most it has a couple of bubbles on the drivers wing so thats coming off and new genuine part replaces, the passenger side has 2 pin prick bubbles but once they are exposed on the outer they are rotten through so a new wing on that side too.
The bootlid has a few small patches behind the numberplate light so i have a replacement bootlid to go on.
A couple of small scabs around the back arch one at the bottom of the drivers side and the top corner next to the bumper edge on the passenger side so they'll get treated.
The front bumper and bonnet have stone chips so the front will be painted and blown up the sides.
But generally good condition

Great cars these, mine was 330 m sport touring and had all the toys, only problem I had was my temp gauge would go right in to the red in traffic but never over heated, new thermostat sorted this out. Would still have it now if I hadn't of lost my licence

Been changing a few things on mine recently - i noticed one side was sitting slightly lower on the rear so guessing a broken spring which it was so order a set of Eibach Sportline off ze Germans and it sit's a lot better - plus 15mm hubcentric spacers all round
Before
After - this was nearly 1 month ago so have settled right down now
I've picked up a facelift bootlid with spoilers, lights basically taken off the car complete for the grand sum of Ł26 in titan silver to replace the original that has a few scabs.
Also have a set of aftermarket LED rears currently fitted plus a new set of genuine LED rears waiting to be fitted then flog the copy's.
This is why i'm not keeping the aftermarket, it could be hidden behind the panels but i couldn't be arsed with removing everything in the boot but this is what the instructions say do from the manufacturer, the missus fills the boot up everyday with buggy's etc so they're bound to get knocked at some point.
Also the leather was well worn on the clubsport gearknob so Ł6.00 cover off ebay did the trick
Good as new
Next is the bodyshop - it's going in a week and i'm still unsure if to go for the facelift front end as i need to front wings - either way the body will be mint
More updates soon

Well i finally got the car out as it had a little set back with tonnes of work on and the sodding drivers door failing to open so the door card had to come off from the inside which was easier said than done - all sorted and out - just to flat and polish and it's sorted but this is the car as it stands - grill, fog covers, rear diffuser satin and bonnet grill centres gloss black - outer bonnet rings body colour that i really like and new badges front and rear, new Depo clear side repeaters and Depo smoked front
I really like the look of the car now, i've always wanted to keep the executive look rather than completely changing the car's looks to a modified vehicle if you know what i mean so the subtle mods work imo
Few piccies of it in the bodyshop
First fucked wing
Second fucked wing
My replacement Audi A4 B8 tailpipes
Fucked tailgate
New Genuine front wings
Bumper was proper stone chipped and scratched then painted on top without sorting the chips so plenty of work was needed
Bonnet getting sorted
small areas of bubbling sorted
