i fitted a m5 kit for my mate who brought it from my style not enough paint on the front or rear bumper espeically around the brake ducts on the front, id just make sure they put enough paint on when you get the bumpers from them assuming there painting them.
Are they fitting the kit to, if so there be painting edge to edge so it would be worth paying a bit more to get them to blow the panels in. i,e, on the front bumper it joins the wings so maybe worth blending the wings in same with the rear. Depends how fussy you are sometimes you can get away without doing them, my mates was saphaire black and they used the wrong shade should have been blue tint but they used red thats a bit of a pain considering they had seen the car. |

Why would they try and blend plastic bumpers into the wings?
Surely using the same paint the colour will be slightly different on plastic than steel anyways? |

I bought a kit from them some time ago.
I would pay twice as much and buy it from a BMW dealer just to avoid having to deal with them again. |

New cars do getdamaged (mostly bumpers) from being unloaded they get painted. I dont think getting a car painted de values it if its been done to a high standard not many people even notice, my 2008 x5 has had paint because i had the front end painted doesnt make it worth any less it was done at an approved bodyshop and to a very high standard (i'm fussy when it comes to paintwork) how do you know your brand new car hasnt seen any paint?
The front bumper isnt that hard to do personaly id tackle it myself I'm sure there must be a DIY guide somewhere on the net to help u bud. If the car is new wouldnt it have been cheaper just to order it with the mtec kit and save yourself the headache..... |

A mate of mine took his SE to Mstyle to get the Msport kit fiited and painted. Very poor job. He rejected it and asked them to do it again.
Find the bodyshop that your local BMW dealer uses and pay them a visit. |
