I nearly wanted to cry, even though it's a car. And thanks for the encouragement. It's what keeps me from looking back down. Quote: Originally Posted by nineironkitty We're here for you Joey.

Don't waste any more money sending Sean jpay letters. You can email them to me and I'll mail them to him with my stuff. Save your money to fix your car...she deserves all of your attention.  | Thanks. I still have 3 more stamps left. I'll start emailing it to you after.

and ill try to get some pictures of them too for you, we own a shop so weve got plenty of parts cars sitting around just waiting to be torn apart haha. | I just need the base plates first. Look at the image attachment below. From the tip of corner of the triangle, to the other corner. Get the dimensions of A, next B, then C. Quote: Originally Posted by Bozola Good on you!

There is a really nice bimmer on CL that I want, and I could easily scrap this and buy that one, but I love her to much! __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Glad to hear you're rescuing the car, but for the love of God, please no Z3 fenders! __________________ 1996 318ti - 2000 Z3 2.3 - 2012 MINI Cooper Hatchback  | | | | | 03-30-2009, 04:27 PM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
well, if you think about golfballs, your ti should be more aerodynamic now  that does look pretty bad though, I'm guessing the roof is the same? | | | | | 03-30-2009, 04:27 PM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 |
did you contact your HR deaprtment, to make those fcukers pay for the damage?? Quote: Originally Posted by Maverix As most of y'all may know, my last thread was full of fail. Well I've decided to make my next thread full of win. These are my goals, from order: 1) Get rear window put in. 2) Replace the front window. 3) Put a real CF layer over the roof of the car. 4) CF hood 5) z3 style, fiber glass fenders 6) Go through with my e34 mirror swap 7) Take the car to a body shop and have all the remaining visible dents removed. 8) Repaint the non-CF parts dark gunmetal. Estimated recovery price: $3,500 (give or take) I will update this thread, and strike the list as I complete each check-point. What changed my mind? I put way to much work into her to have her seen sold. And plus, I hate seeing another ti getting destroyed. | __________________

It's not showing all the dents. There are dents from front to the end. The roof is the worst though.

| He's not talking about your insurance.... HR (Human Resource) Department at your JOB, because of your supervisors negligent behavior they should be liable for damages to your vehicle. You need to speak to anyone in HR or above your supervisor... you could get paid for damages or the a-hole could get reprimanded for his poor judgement. Also, you should not FEAR loosing your job by bringing this up, since then they would be in deeper trouble and open to a much bigger liability!... __________________ 2LT Rodriguez CA ARNG

Quote: Originally Posted by Maverix Pics please. And m3 items should stay on m3's | I'll see if I can get some from my mechanic... Also, M3 items aren't M3 items, as you should know they are M-tech items that were optional from BMW for any 3 series, or they wouldn't have made them for the likes of the ti or e36 touring in Europe.  M3 costs more out of the box, and part of the reason besides the engine/suspension and braking is the addition of the M-tech items. __________________ 1996 318ti - 2000 Z3 2.3 - 2012 MINI Cooper Hatchback | | | | | 03-30-2009, 11:03 PM | #30 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Northern Michigan Posts: 867 |
