Wow. This is easily the most detailed build I've ever seen. I swear some of these guys on here can survive a nuclear apocalypse with 6 hand tools, a sheet of mdf and a spoon. Meanwhile I'm just here like

Disassembled the front bumper today. Actually, I didn’t have any time to put into the BMW, but I couldn’t take it much longer seeing her like that.

It looks pretty beaten up on the outside, but on the inside, it doesn’t look much better.

The reinforcement bar on the inside is torn out on one side.

The license plate bracket also snapped

Reinforcement bar that mounted in the bumper, dislodged from the blow.

And not a little bit as you can see.

Cut it all clean and and prepared for repair.

This time the bar will no longer come off that easy

Once it’s hard, I can cut out the bad parts in the front

I editted the front of the bumper pretty much

Where the cracks were, I grinded everything away so I could lay a new layer of fiberglass. So it will be solid as a rock again.

Here you can see I cut everything away till the last piece.

That's very important, and now it's all very strong, and I can begin the finishing works.

The bumper doesn't fit as nice as before. The line between the hood and lights isn't 100%

I'm going to work on that as well, so there's 4mm game between it.

The carbon piece that was mounted in the bumper, also was cracked on the back.

I managed to repair and reinforce this. Fortunate that there's nothing on the carbon fibre itself.

This was a very difficult pieces to cover in CF.

Meanwhile, I worked on the bumper with filler already.

As I said, the line between the bumper and the hood/light was ruined.

Of course, I corrected it everywhere with the straight 4mm space.

I fixed this easy by taping a little ruler underneath the hood and lights, and fill it all up with filler.

It maybe looks like child play, but it's a time consuming job.

But the line is correct now, so I'm happy.

The recess I made when I bought the bumper, didn't look as it was originally made.

I had to made it again, and I also made some minor changes.

P1020456_resize_zps509952d5.jpg

The carbon piece that was in the center, I had to repair (to a crack in the back)

I did a minor adjustment there. The thick piece of aluminium (15mm), is slightly more interacted to the bumper.

So it doesn't stick out that much anymore
