Bonnet respray or different alloys?

[andysat]

Hi all-what would you do?-got a few chips on the bonnet and toying with the idea of re-spray (only thing I am doubting is if he silver is not exact in all lights)-took the daisies off now and back on the original alloys-but toying with the idea of putting the paint money towards the alloys instead-the paint place is a BMW approved bodyshop so should be ok finish :roll: -thanks

New bonnet will get chips, so new wheels for me.

Cheers mate-yeah that is what's niggling me at the back of my mind

Clear bra the front?

 

[Swiftly]

New wheels are the way to go Andy

 

[Spikey]

Wheels me thinks - as above the bonnet will go on collecting chips anyhow

 

[Sp33dy1]

Show us the bonnet, then the wheels to get a better understanding

 

[si-forks]

Unless the bonnet is appauring I would go with new wheels

Wheels mate , , you will get far more pleasure from that spend & the bonnet paint will wait .
Fwiw my son has just booked his R32 in for front bumper & bonnet repaint with wings blown in where necessary to match , on a silver car / £250

Is it cheap or are others expensive ?
He's a top bloke (ex Rolls Royce paintshop) who's done a few jobs for myself , neighbours & work on my sons previous motors .
Also painted the side of a Z4 last year for a forum member who was more than pleased .

Definitely new wheels over a few stone chips. You'll never really notice the paint job if it's done well, the new wheels will make you smile every time you see them

 

[Taz]

as every body says, new wheels

 

[aquazi]

You still have the e93 andy?

I'll suggest another option.... A new car !!

A nice e89 would go down a treat!!

New wheels, then sell your old ones and with the proceeds do the bonnet. Problem sorted

+1 Sounds like a very good plan

2 new wheels and a bonnet respray, fit the new alloys on the drivers side
