M3 Rep Front Bumper!

idrift4wd · 02-25-2012, 01:01 AM

So last week i come out to see my car hit right outside my house. Pretty bummed, though i already had a scratch on the other side and a small crack on the bottom. i couldnt just repaint with the cracks.

A week later.

They also fixed my rear quarter panel (small scratch i bought it with). I asked him to paint my Chrome Mustache "grille" on my hood. He also painted my bumper grille White with a black outline. Overall, i love it. So much more aggressive. Now time for HID fogs. Bumper was from **********s i believe.

*EDIT- PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE GRILLE. Should i just do it all black? Keep it? Just paint the bumper grille black?

Big thanks to Tony @ Merit Auto body In Bronxville NY. Great service, great work, put no miles on my car. Thats all i wanted. I just got it back, so better shots will come!

That was my first impression when i picked up the car. I just wanted the top chrome piece painted.

Lol oh. You should just get black grilles IMO. The painted ones has always looked weird to me just because the line that seperate the grille and hood doesn't look right. But the choice is ultimately yours.

Ghost170 · 02-25-2012, 02:55 AM

grill looks off due to top portion being white, perhaps try it black.

I would say keep the grille white but paint the black outline white too. Do you have shots a little further back?

datbimmerdoe · 02-25-2012, 12:04 PM

looks good. paint the black outline white. If you have dough, send your lights to bav X. White out the reflectors and shrouds. Complete the white out.
