Update on my car - no mtech1 for the Vintage in 2 weeks :-( should be done later this summer though. Parts are looking great, but still a large amount of tedious, detailed front spoiler work to do on the slots. Body shop had zero interest in doing it, and I really trust those guys and don't want any issues. So I brought the part back and will 3d print a sanding tool to clean up the notches

Didn't mention the other mtech1 bits:
-- rear is in final primer and looks perfect
-- side skirts were painted but need some channel touch up and wet sanding
-- rear spoiler painted panel is waiting for the front and rears to be done to paint everything at once.
All the parts were stripped to bare material - no previous paint left on anything. Here's what the front piece looks like right now. It's the furthest from ready.
A particularly difficult area to repair. was worse not grinding out the paint layers from the channels, but the Dremel bit unfortunately dug into the sides too.
No real ground lost though - we'd still be in the same situation trying to prep the channels with the paint layers still in place. A 3d printed tool seems to be the only practical way to get this repaired.
Nice job on the fog light hole cutout
And all the mounting points except one they missed have been repaired
They tried to preserve the part number area
