^^^ What he said! If you're lucky maybe the owner will read it and try to work something out with you, if you agree to amend the comments or retract it altogether. It's rare but i've seen that happen. It's worth a shot! Look at it this way, this is the cheapest way of "potentially" getting it corrected, if this doesn't work then you can spend money fixing the problem.

Cheers for that, will have little look in a bit. Dont have any UK sellers with them on bay so will prob have to import over from your side of the pond. Not sure if common on your side, but you hardly see any here so be kinda nice. Looks effing tasty on 528canyonrot's
Got any more snaps of it and did they do your skirts the wrong colour too?

funny thing is, I've always been confused by the paint color on my skirts. they're just stock, but the color just looks different in the pic for some reason
the second pic is a bit grainy, but thats basically how it looks like at night

So I got tired of staring at the horribly unmatched bumper, and decided to just try and plasti dip it to matte black. Considering that it only cost me like 10 bucks vs going back and getting it redone for 200-300, I'm happy with this temporary fix. It doesn't look horrible like before, but also not the best. But I think its decent. Thoughts?

wow 300 is a total rip off. for that quality of work might as well taken i to macco and gotten it painted for like 80 bucks. rattle can would have gotten you the same results.
take it back, pop off the windsheild washer cover (those little lovers under the headlight) and leave it to them as a sample to match that paint. i have gotten paint ordered by just the paint number on my 2004 and match perfect.

Sounds like you need to do some yelp reviews. One of the local FB bmw group someone had their lip damaged by a local shop who said they won't fix the problem. They kept that stance until they had a bunch of negative reviews which made them call the guy to fix the lip.

I'm thinking of just doing a matte black dip on the entire car. I've been thinking of doing it, and I mean I guess now would be the perfect time. It's gonna end up being 400 bucks, but at least it'll be a paint that I like.
But idk. I'm gonna look around and get quotes for the lip and see what people say.

U need to let them know that u are not going away. But I'm Thinking that ure dealing with a small shop that gives 2 shits about costumer satisfaction. So ure kind of in a pickle if that's the case. Unless ure willing to let it get ugly. And really it's not worth it. . I also can see this is driving u nuts. It would drive me nuts. Lol Especially being undecided on whst to do with it. But plasti dip is not the answer my friend
