A whole lot of fiddling, had to then drive it to the bodyshop with the bonnet gaffer taped up 18 miles away, it's a good look for a 7 series  ;D





However this is much better on fuel than the last 7 series I had, over 60 miles it's averaging this, 90% of this is town driving too:

At least you used a tape of suitable colour. ;D

In any case, I'm that you've got that sorted Del - it does look to be a lovely car. :-* :-*

I actually like the face-lifted 7 series front, back end still not great.

Can't complain about that fuel consumption though!

Got it to the bodyshop this morning, price has suddenly gone up £500  :o So I swiftly made an excuse and took it away. He tried telling me the bonnet has twisted, which is utter bullshit, even had the BMW insurance assessor look at it earlier and he said, it's defiantly not twisted.

So it's looking even worse now, no grill etc



  :'( Anyone know a good painter in the Kent area that does work for the trade cheap?
