i got a beauty on my way to york its like a feckin bullet hole. its just in between head lamp and top grill. its £100 to fix and it may be £200 if they have to lacer the bonnet. i allways stay well back from cars and trucks. well trucks are restricted to 56 mph right. wrong not the bloody German trucks 70 mph!!!

so i am buying a clear bra from the states $400 well spent.

the bra (is) for the car

but i have got man boobs.

We went to Italy and came back with 4 stone chips on the bonnet and one on the roof - getting them sorted soon, once I get the car back from the dealers

The front of my JCW is starting to look like it's been hit by a shotgun in 6500 miles!!

I should slow down.

Cars dont shine after 3k miles unless you look after them!

Lorien · Dec 1st, 2006, 11:20 AM

come on guys. usually people are really helpeful here.

Snowie · Dec 1st, 2006, 12:05 PM

I also need advice on stone chips GP 1657 has 2 in 3500 miles. I need to get them sorted.

I have been investigating protection film and have found a company called Airstream protection film based in Chigwell, Essex. For circa £500 fitted they do a kit for the GP - bonnet, bumper, lights and my spots.
Any one have any experience, I have met the guys, seen the product and looked on the web but personal feedback would be appreciated before I spend £500

Purchase correct touch up colour from your dealer. Apply 'blob' to chip using a wooden toothpick or cocktail stick. Leave to dry overnight. If not completely filled repeat this operation until it is. Now use Langka ( available online ) and polish gently until blob flattens. Finish off with a quick polish and wax and you're done.

My MCS, 6 chips in 8,500 miles.........bugg@r just found a fresh one.

Lorien · Dec 1st, 2006, 03:00 PM

Tahnks Japper

edit: oh, does anyone have the BMW part number for the GP color touchup "kit"? thanks
