Will provide better pictures once the car is back in my possession.

Why did they not take off the black trim piece? Easy to remove and less of a chance of paint pealing. Save on tape and masking to boot. Other than that looks like great work.

By the looks of your sig they put in some great work!

I think they were worried about the clips breaking, they're a pain sometimes. They've done a lot of E36's so i assume they did it for a reason.

Clips are cheap compared to chipping paint lol. But I'm guessing they just masked it since they blended the paint into the quarter panel, but didnt completely repaint it, right?

[GT60tricycle]

Yes.

I love Estorll Blue. Its a shame how this happened, but it looks like they did a great job.
Beautiful car man

Thanks man!

Moral of the story is to keep good shoes on your car for the right season.

True that!! And lets not forget RTAB's! There have been too many Oh S#%@ moments with low tread (no tread :devillook), and bad RTAB's.

BTW the fitment on the Hamann wheels are spot on ;)

Looks like, nice color and great work!

[GT60tricycle]

Thanks man! Got the car back today and she's beautiful; will take good pics tomorrow.

I think Body shops are notorious for breaking plastic clips on E36s. Especially if they are not a BMW specialist Body shops.

Aw, what a happy ending. Glad to know this M3 will live to drive another day!

[GT60tricycle]

Me too, I'm excited just to have her back on the road!!

Looks like he does good work. How was the price ? (good or bad?) Mine is in the same place but smaller than this.
