Hi All,

Does anyone have an idea as to how much the body coloured interior costs as a retro fit, or is it cheaper to get original bits sprayed up.

Is there any companies out there that do it?

I had the 3 parts of my facelift MCS dash sprayed in hyper blue and it cost around £45 Vs the new parts that would have come to around £180 from BMW.

The door elipses are a much bigger problem as they are not meant to be removed from the doors, so I've never been brave enough to try it. The sprayer quoted me £100 to spray the parts, if I removed and refitted them Vs £400 for the two complete door panels from BMW.

£400 what a rip off. How is the paint job holding up on the dash?

How does the paint job compare to the original factory finish, have you got any pics?

Thanks

The paint job is holding up just fine and the finish is just the same as the factory original would have been. It certainly stands up to close inspection much better than the "Alloy Patina" finish which, if you look at it very closely, is actually just a low resolution print

That looks mint.....now you just need some bottle to do the doors

Did you provide the paint or was it £45 all in?

I removed all three dash panels and delivered them to the sprayers; they supplied the paint and did the spraying, I then collected them and refitted the panels.

I'd love to door the doors as well but the elipses are "welded" into place and I could remove them, get them sprayed, yet never be able to refit them! Like you say, I just need the bottle to get stuck in!
