Can you see anything in the pic?

Bimmer325 · 06-08-2006, 08:40 AM

see if you could see it first? anyone?

Bimmer325 · 06-08-2006, 08:45 AM

did my 3M clear bra yesterday too!

KL2DC · 06-08-2006, 08:46 AM

Ooh is this one of those hidden picture in a picture puzzles...I see a picture of a yacht in a harbor, did I get it?

j/k I don't see anything off. I am guessing you have some sort of damage or respray/overspray issue with the paint. Then again, my office monitor is not optimal.

edit: my bad...great work on the clear bra? How much did that set you in MYR??

another shot

The gap in the seam looks uneven

Collanrf · 06-08-2006, 08:48 AM

Is it a chip or a little bit of dent in the middle?

Bimmer325 · 06-08-2006, 08:49 AM

on both rocker panels too..

close up...

Bimmer325 · 06-08-2006, 09:03 AM

damn...i was so careless when i came home with the new 3M clear bra. Park my car, open my door. damn..door edge lightly brushed my son's bicycle.
there go a 1mm x 1mm paint chip on driver's door.

did the touch up myself today, but its still there. cant get the clear coat back in shape...any solution?

ksfrogman · 06-08-2006, 10:51 AM

It's probably easier to see in 3D (in person) than in 2D (in photo).

ALPINE6SPD · 06-08-2006, 06:40 PM

looks like a good install

LEDZEP · 06-08-2006, 07:42 PM

It does look good. How difficult was it? You should write up a DIY.

But I have another question... do you have a tile floor in your garage? I've been thinking about doing that, but I was afraid of two things: it might crack from the weight of the cars, and it might be too slippery when it gets wet. Feedback on that?

ska///235i · 06-08-2006, 07:43 PM

where did you get it done...cost?

markE90 · 06-08-2006, 07:51 PM

Nice bra on that color. The only downpart of having an AW car is putting on a clear bra. I turns the white color into yellowish shade which you can see even 5 ft away

good job w/ the touch up cuz i cannot tell at first.

Bimmer325 · 06-09-2006, 08:54 AM

nope, didnt do it myself though!
i got them installed by 3M certified dealer in my country.

cost me around $670 in USD. the coverage includes bumper, fenders, hood (bonnet), side mirrors, and sills (rocker panels).
also the thicker 3M headlight & fog light protection.

you know what, this morning i peeled off the entire sheet on the hood!

reason being that i cant stand the ugly line and a coat of light yellow plastic on my shiny E90 hood. so i took it down. but i will tailor make a removeable sheet for the hood soon.

hey, don't throw it away, put it on during long trip to protect from bugs...take it off when you finish with long trip. just a thought.

ska///235i · 06-09-2006, 06:20 PM

sounds like reynolds wrap lol

Dawg Nuts · 06-09-2006, 11:27 PM

Man that chip isn't even noticeable. Good job with the touchup.

ON325i · 06-10-2006, 02:33 AM
