Ok guys. I will be posting a Begining, Middle and Now. This is my car Before the accident. http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12368 This is my car when accident happen. http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14835 My car is done after repairs and paint. I have noticed that my car looks purple? They told me its the same paint it had. Compared to the "before" pics where you can literally see the car looks blue, the color now looks purplelish. Im not sure if its cuz the paint is new. If you angle yourself then it will look blue. Before, the car looked blue with direct sunlight and when i was washing it, even with sun light it still looked purple? But if you angle then itll look blue. I dont know if it will change within time. I loved the whole idea that during day time it would be blue and at night it would be purple. Or if its not sunny that day, then the car would look purple. Its not on here now but i gotta install my CF hood again, i havent had the time.
Anyway, since then, these are all the new things my car has now if not, will have put on within a week...
3.46LSD, Stromung 2.25 Exhaust, Technique Tuning Stage 3, new wheels and 328 vented/slotted rotors with 328 brake calipers (all e36)
Here are the pics, enjoy! |  |  | | 06-03-2007, 03:11 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |

We still are gonna put glaze/gloss (whatever its called) and make it extra shiny. Well there you have it, and ill take some sweet pics with backgrounds later in the future. This is the final product and a taste sample until i can get some sweet pics, or a nice background on the socal meet. | | | | | 06-03-2007, 05:35 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 |

Weve done it before, its like a liquid form thingy or whatever and you just use a special rag, and you pretty much have to put some hard pressure to take it off. Its like wax i think. | | | | | 06-03-2007, 06:11 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Los Alamos, NM Posts: 344 |
