Looks great, What kind of paint are they using?

Mind sharing the cost and contact of the place?

I asked for Glasurit or any equivalent quality paint.
The damage is not yet known but circa RM5k-6k as per informed by Jason Foo.
I'll get the contact for you later, as I asked Jason Foo to take care everything for me.
 
520i is back, debadged. No pics yet.

Paintshop: Harum Angkasa Paint S/B
Damage: 5k
Duration: 3 weeks

Her rear view mirror is on loan to her big brother so it's a bit difficult to drive. Anyway today I just received her big brother's repaired auto-dim rear view mirror, so I guess she'll get back her rear vision soon.
 
Yeah... I wud have paid 25k for that car. Now looks like we have to buy the white E21 that is sleeping under the blanket :wink:
 
Taken a few quick-ones while lepak-king at Optimum earlier this evening:

Why replaced timing chain/belt with used unit?

Bro herbert, that's because it's FOC and covered under mutual warranty provided by Jason :)
 
Seewai,

Your car looks nice with this new colour. Suggest you change side yellow markers with white ones to match front rear and front lights.

I've been waiting for the yellow markers to wear off but I guess it's going to take them forever if I do wait. One fine day I'll get them changed :).

I also know that the exhaust/bumper clearance became kind of weird. It was OK for quite some time and not sure what happened in between and became "senget" one side, must be some loose bolts or broken exhaust mounting.

Yes bro, I was. I take that as a compliment haha! Considering a career change.
 
i noticed that your plate numbers use two different fonts for front and back. is it purposely done or what? hehe. nice body color and nice rims too. how i really admire that style.

Too eye-catching when I used the rear font in front. PDRM made me pay a tad too much. Time to lay low for the time being. :4:

Thanks for the compliment bro. This is done so that I have a very good reason not to sell off the ride at the moment.

Awesome paintjob from the pics. i like how they stripped off everything & paint car inside out. Too much of Overhauling episodes...hehe.

I'm keen to visit the paintshop for my lil' white devil.....but 3weeks, gotta find myself a backup ride before i can do that. Hopefully price is cheaper for a 2-door and unsure if they can do a matt colour. Also while they strip the car, hope to sound proof the base as well. I've sound proofed the roof & door
 
First car wash after colour change
