Good meeting you. Sorry it didn't work out, but I know you'll love the wheels after the situation is rectified :thumbsup

Nice progress!

I finished up getting the bumper on, now waiting for the spoiler to get back from paint

Forgot to add that one of the studs slipped out while I was leaning on it with two wrenches to tighten or loose the double nuts. My lower lip hit the fender and I got a tiny cut on the outside above my chin and a medium cut inside from my teeth. Stopped by dentist yesterday since I was in area, she looked at it and said it should heal in a week. In the meantime, avoid spicy foods.

So it's not just what did I do to my BMW, but what did my BMW do to me!
