Z4M: Front reflectors deleted

nobrakese28 · 11-19-2012, 02:35 PM

Hello,

I got reversed into a few weeks ago (assuming that's what happened), the car was parked when in Santa Monica when it happened. I didn't noticed the damage to the grill area till the next day.

The bumper had several rock chips and scrapes to begin with.

I had Montebello Auto Body Center repaint the bumper.

Since it was off, I had them delete the reflectors. They were urethane filled.

Here are a few photos. Joe (the owner of the body shop) told me to bring the bumper back once it was installed to have the bumper color sanded (he couldn't do it off the car, to flimsy).

Sorry to hear that someone backed in to you. It looks really nice without the reflectors though!

Did my front and rear. Not deleted but painted. One of the best looking mods I have done on the exterior, second to black headlight housings.

Thanks!

It was unfortunate that someone reversed into my bumper, but then again it was forced motivation to have the bumper painted.

Looks great. I just had all four corners painted and it's a huge improvement but nothing compared to having them filled.

I am thinking of eventually having the rears deleted, but not for some time.
