G'day All,

Need your opinion. As I'm sure you've read in the past, my car was broken into, dash broken.

Anyway, rather than replacing it, I've had it repaired and repainted.

The thing is, I originally wanted to paint it a dark metallic gun metal grey in colour. Subtle being the key here.

But, the guy I did it ran out of paint, and instead painted it another colour..... check it out for yourself. Now don't get me wrong, the workmanship is excellent, but its very showy..

Should I fix it?

The dash looks good, but I don't like the other bits, too bright, however in person seeing the car is white it would give a better perspective! Do I hear uv lights?? :D

Hey!!?! I didn't multilate my Skyline...its actually a damn good professional job.... just that it probably is just a little extroverted for me! hehe

Hmm, thanks for your opinions though, I'm still in two minds over it. Hopefully, when the guy gets some more paint, he can paint it a gun metal colour again, but as rrage said I'll enjoy until then

Thanks

    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
    • Man, I miss having a phone that fits into my hand!  
    • The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.
    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
