Why do we bother keeping our cars nice?

After spending the last 3 months keeping this car in showroom condition inside and out, on friday I had people in the back of my car.

After they had got out I noticed 3 deep scratches in the plastic trim around the rear blowers in the center console. As I didnt know who had done it or how I obviously didn't mention it.

I took the part off to try and touch it up but unless I can get it perfect which im not going to be able to I'm never going to be happy so i need to replace it.

The part number i need is 528506/10 and it is the silver colour not the brushed aluminium.

Could someone let me know if they have one for sale or where the best place to get one is.

Cheers

Damn, sorry to hear man. Some people just have no respect. I have a few select friends that i would still take a bullet for, but are no longer allowed in my car, for "certian reasons". ie, leaving trash and scuffing up the hell outta my back seats.

I would say just order a new part, nothing looks better then when its brand new. Good luck

dam i dont wanna get started over here

simpleE92 · 04-08-2008, 01:16 AM

this is what i did to my car to keep stuff like that from happening.

lower your e92. run some aftermarket wheels. run aggressive tires. make it so only 2 people can sit in the front and if anyone or anything is in the back seat it will rub.

so that way when people try to get in your back seat all you have to say is " sorry i cant put anyone in the back seat it will rub"

lol hopefully it will work out

KkSc · 04-08-2008, 01:21 AM

sorry to hear that..but it happned to me the first day i got my car...sigh!!

mJ335 · 04-08-2008, 01:21 AM

Were they drunk? Because normally when you're drunk, friends (even me lol) just really don't give a sh*t.

Wish I could help out.. but can't do anything for you on this.. good luck!

BES335xi · 04-08-2008, 05:19 AM

man shit happends, maybe they didnt do it intentionally, i was driving a few days ago and i got paint chips on my hood, seems like rocks flew into my hood, i think it was from passing this fukkin 18wheeler.
ARGH! I Gotta repaint the whole hood now.

Normally onle me and my wife are in the car, but this was special circumstances.

Shall I just go to the dealers and buy the replacement part?
