2012 D3 BT Coupe

Post by PeterN » Sun Jun 04, 2017 9:32 pm

Collected this during the week

No 248
49k miles
Usual spec with the addition of auto headlight activation, rain sensor and USB audio interface

Image

6 cylinder silver slat grills fitted.

Jobs to be done:

BlackVue dash cam to be fitted Tuesday ( front and rear)
New Alpina centre caps
Front bumper, splitter and black shadow line respray booked for next month
Front Alpina decal

I'm in two minds as to have the rear windows tinted as I quite like the space grey with standard glass.

Looks like a great finish. Can't beat a pristine bumper to show off a nice car.

Thanks Arvi,

There was some paint flaking off the bumper just under the grill - made more sense to get the whole thing painted
