    Operation 'Front End Refresh' underway

    The front end refresh on my 530i Sport touring is underway; I'm also having front UK and Jap import sized number plate plinths resprayed and all new resprayed wing mirror caps.

    I'll decide on which front plate to use when they're sprayed up etc; I have plates for both

    The front bumper is also being fully resprayed (OEM M5 grille being bonded in properly) and any slight cracks being fixed before its sprayed etc

    Some pics:

    Love your wagon. Wish we had the M54B30 in the Touring stateside. Hope the shop treats it right.

    Got it back from my pals body shop today

    Treated it to a full front end respray; today it's just had a simple rinse, snow foam, contactless wash, towel dry and treated the tyres. It looks amazing IMO :
