trying to start a thread on painting (all inclusive) and bodywork (removing dents, etc.) because, well I want to learn it and im sure there are tons of viewers wondering/wishing the same thing.
If you have bodywork/Paint know-how, share here! -------------------- same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said

Additional photos for antenna hole smoothing....
1. Remove Antenna from boot interior side...cut out piece of sheet metal to fit JUST inside the antenna hole.  2. Prepare the antenna hole for welding by sanding edges with 80 Grit sandpaper.  3. Using a Welding Magnet (or normal magent)...hold sheet metal into place ready to weld.  Then proceed to the bodywork procedure as above. |
