Not all Plastic Surgery (PP) is bad...

bigdaddycane · 08-11-2014, 08:10 AM

I decided to freshen up the old girl's face and butt with some cosmetic surgery. Finally found a used Mtech rear bumper and had the front bumper cover sprayed at the same time (to correct a small issue). New Dimisa 4" exhaust tips to be installed soon. I had the all the front grills resprayed as well as the rear diffuser and trim strip. The paint work was performed by Elden Collision Center in Herndon, Va. Thomas is the guy to speak to and is very accommodating

After 5 years I still love this car!

Yeah, I thought about that Raja, because I had it done on the factory bumper and the hood and mirrors are done, BUT.....I might be selling it, so I have to think about it. I have the M3 bug bad.

I forgot to mention who did the re-spray.....Elden Collision Center in Herndon Va. Thomas took care of me pricewise and was very easy going when I wanted it completely perfect and brought it back after the initial spray. I would definitely use them again.

I had used Ashburn Collision Center two years ago to do the front bumper cover and rocker panels and they did a great job, but went out of business.

Your boys at D&V were insanely high (even with dropping your name), so I had to go a different route.

BTW, the pictures kinda suck....not sure what was up with my digital camera yesterday, it didn't like the sunshine. I might take some new ones

thanks, I appreciate it.

I did all the performance mods earlier but really wanted a different rear bumper. The E90 front and rear bumpers are so bland; the E92 has better looking bumper covers.

Yea i did the M3 front on mine and love it! We should link up sometime with a few other locals and get a photoshoot going.

You guys should roll through Fair lakes Cars & coffee on sunday mornings. Always a great turnout.

Also, Mtech rear bumper looks great. You should throw an M3 lip spoiler on, they really compliment each other.

get the M3. :-)
sorry D&V price was insane. No affliation here, in fact i have sent them too many customers but they haven't done the same 4 me. :-(

bigdaddycane · 08-13-2014, 08:18 AM

yeah, my next car will be an E92 M3 ZCP w DCT and CF roof...no doubt.

that's pretty sh!tty as it is a no-brainer for them to send customers to you after a respray/repair.

looks great. I think this is a must for e90s. The m tech bumpers make the car look 10x better

thanks. I think the Mtech/Msport aerodynamics look better on an E90 because the regular E90 front and rear bumpers look like S! The E92's have better styling out of the box...

Ghostryder · 08-22-2014, 12:27 AM

Looks good!
