    Looks good I think. Do you go all one direction, or in ovals / circles?

      great work. wet sanding is such a pain staking process. I noticed you didn't paint the base of the mirror white. I've never seen that. Looks good, but curious why? Seem harder than painting the whole thing.

        Thank you ! I did all one direction and then crossed. So too to bottom and then over again with side to side

          I agree man ! So much work! My arm is still hurting haha , the mirrors I did this on another e30 I owned just something a little different. She chose that out of the 3 options I gave her 1. All black 2. All white 3. Black base/white it makes the shadow trim flow a little better.

              Fine work. Panel alignment and attention to detail make the car (and builder) stand out. Have fun driving her this summer!

                  Very impressed with the work you did here. IS that an OEM front valance?

                              Were those front and rear seats that clean when you got them, or did you get them reupholstered?
