B5 S4 - White ------ paint in pics.... (lots)

[AndyC]

So after having the S4 for 3 or so years I wanted to tidy it up....
A good friend owns a body shop in Poole Dorset, we were just going to repair the dents and stone chips.... usual really
After looking at it the whole car needed little bits....... ( you can see where this is going )

Hmmmm.........

I did wonder who's car it was.

Looking good.

What made you go white?

Looking good. Proper job too. How long roughly in hours to prep the panels prior to painting (including the trim strip-down)?

I thought it was that car when i saw it, I even remember it being standard and Ive always thought what you may have been tinkering with under the bonnet when i saw the huge front mount behind the grill.

Small world guys

My son was at Moonacre and now at Verwood First......

 

[Chris-Vspec]

Yeah it is a small world, nice to know there is another forum member local, I take it your a dab hand at the mechanical stuff on the S4

 

[AndyC]

Occupational hazard that one.
I do tech development, calibration etc for a local tuning company.

Perhaps we should have a Verwood meet

 

[sammi]

yep up for that one when you get your car back... maybe we can kick the townies out of morrisons car park!!!!!!!

Very nice, good choice on the colour too mate, white is BACK, along with all 80s retro stuff, everyone was doubtfull when I told them I was picking up a ,white classic (e34) BMW M5 until they saw it in the flesh and all agreed it looked well
