This car was recently purchased by a friend of mine and he wasnt overly happy with the condition of the bodywork which had a fair amount of stonechipping, marring and deep swirl marks and so asked if i could sort it out for him. I would like to point out that this car has covered 125000 miles and so it was never going to be 100% perfect when finished however i'm very pleased with the results. I would say that 85-90% of the damage to the paint was corrected. While i had the car for detailing we had the wheels refurbished and also fitted some BMW performance black kidney grilles Which compliment the car nicely.
