    My Bronzit got a respray!

    Just some quick iPhone shots... doing a real photo shoot soon, but I just got my car back from the body shop after nearly 6 weeks, in which a full high quality respray in the original color was done.

    Also looking for opinions about shooting the front IS lip in Bronzit paint. I told them to leave it as is, but wondering what people think about painted lip?

                Only colour match the lip if you intend to do the same under the doors and rear bumper

                        Car looks fantastic! I'd color match the lip for sure! Loving the alpinas as well, they totally make the car!

                          That looks great. nicely done. i wouldn't paint the lip because its flexible and if you hit it on something the paint will just crack off. if you hit something when its black plastic it will only leave a scratch at the worst.

                            1) Paint it
                            2) Get a splitter (to add that contrast your looking for)
                            3) Paint matched sideskirts

                            If it's one of the eBay lips it will just explode so you shouldn't have to worry about the scratches. If oe and a quality paint job that won't happen.

                            Oh yeah, it looks phenomenal, Alpina's and MHW's make the car. MHW's look great on lighter colored e30s. You have great taste.
