    March in Southern Oregon

    I sanded and repainted all my trim, grills and mirrors last week. Everything came out looking pretty damn good. Not perfect, but leagues ahead of what it was.

    It has been raining here all week and the whole car is filthy, including everything that just got painted. Although, even when its dirty like this all the trim, bumpers, grills and mirrors still look 100x better than it did before. I wish I had taken some close up before pictures for comparison.

    The mirrors looked horrid before. They were so faded and scratched up. This is a huge improvement.


    The grills got a fresh coat as well.













    The photos came out a little bit noisy because it was getting dark but what ever.

      i always enjoy your car and photos but one thing i would recommend is maybe repainting or replacing the rusted trim around the front windshield other than that looks excellent.

          I've said it before, I <3 your sedan. I really need to get around to giving my 325e's mirrors and grilles the same treatment, they look so good when they aren't the texture of a teenager's face.

              IMO, the most useful and tasteful mod you can do next is a euro-bumper swap.
              Your car just looks too good with the IX weaves. Keep it up!

                      3rd and 5th shots are my favorites. Do you have spacers on with the weaves? It looks really good.

                            Thanks dude. Yours is an inspiration for all sedan owners. I want your bumpers.

                              I love the look of your front. Do you have any recommendations for a front bumper that houses foglights?

                              I like this look but can't tell what bumper it is. Anyone know? OP?
