My Ride: Bmw 530d 2004
Yeah you may remember my car was scratched on the supermarket parking lot a week ago.
I got the parts back from the paintshop today and installed them with my girlfriend. Still have to reinstall the trunk finisher on Wednesday though. I wanted to get it repainted to make the color match 100%, which it wasn't completely before.
I vented the frustration back then when the mishap happened and now for the joy
