    I don't own a BMW car. However, by watching this video, I was able to know a cleaning method that can be applied to other cars. From the disassembly method to the cleaning method that suits the material of the part. It's full of useful information for me. Thank you very much.

    @gabor7928 4 года назад

    Two steps you could add for the bumper cracks. First, drill a small hole at the tip of the crack, that will relieve stress and keep the crack from opening further. Second, enlarge the crack to form a V-shaped groove from both sides so that the filler/glue has more purchase.

  • @kentremendous5112
    @kentremendous5112 4 года назад

    I really respect how you give us a good view of the part’s degradation and damage that occurred to it. Definitely something good when you’re doing the before and after,
    And the improvements/restoration is much more obvious

  • @zachogdahl210
    @zachogdahl210 4 года назад +7

    I know painting the plastics is an easy way to make them look better but you should try some plastic restoring products. I used plastic restorer on my sun faded e30 trims and they came out fantastic. Then i used g4 ceramic coating to protect it from further sun damage and i just re apply every month or so

    • @RestoreIt
      @RestoreIt  4 года назад +5

      After doing both, i must say i prefer the paint as it seems to last a lot longer than the restoring products and you dont have to keep reapplying paint. I think g4 is a great idea and I should really get some shouldn't i... Thanks man.

    Hello,
    nice work I regularly follow the chain because I also restore my 325i e30 from 1987 and it is very useful!
    I also adapted an M-tech1 kit and the black plastic parts on the sides are specific compared to a classic bumper !!!! the new parts are not the right ones but the original M-tech cannot be found so normal you could not have had anything other than non M-tech1 parts.
    on the other hand to have a better alignment with the turn signals (because we can see that it is not well aligned) it is necessary to cut the "ear" low of the plastic part and a part of internal pins.
    I hope this can help you.
    congratulations again for your wonderful work. I envy you every day to work on these beautiful cars.
    clement

    Hey man great job! I wouldnt recommend filling cracks with putty, because it can crack over time again. In the past i had great success drilling out the crack so there is no tension and then using 2K polyurethane glue. you can sand it down and apply bumper putty afterwards :)

  • @matthewstrickland1773
    @matthewstrickland1773 4 года назад +1

    You made a new tab and it looked great. Do you really wanna replace all of your hard work and intuition? Personally, I think you should do it more often. Plastic is hard enough to dispose of as is already. And the fact that you can just fix it like that is amazing.

  • @dillanmistry

    Not sure if this has already been said, but the side trim pieces are different. The mtech 1 setups came without the extra tabe below the trim piece. It was for euro bumpers without bumper valances, so they could clip on from underneath.

    You used 80 grit sandpaper to sand down your bumper all the way, but isn't 80 a bit too rough? I'm asking because i need to do the same job on my rear bumper since much of the paint has come off on one side for some reason. My second question is when is it okay to use paint stripper instead of sandpaper?
