    I watched Reclamet's channel where they repaired a classic Austin A40 that had been hit. Second hand door from the owner, and panel beating the rear wing. All fixed and painted, very smart job indeed.

    Can you imagine 50 yrs ago if you said to someone in the future one single car headlight would cost £1100 and it would have to be coded they would think you were completely off your rocker but here we are? Great video as always is the case 👍👍

    Quick turn arounds = more projects = more profit. These guys have been making a living from this for years and they know what works. So many comments from armchair warriors complaining it’s too cheap - they can’t have a £25k+ motor sitting in the yard for months on end, with the price slowly depreciating over time, waiting for a buyer, so that they can purchase more projects. Just enjoy the content and go back to your Tesco shift in the morning

    What i love about you guys, unlike ALOT of other UA-camrs, who i think fleece there follows to some extent, with putting there cars through these competition car sites to make an absolute killing! You guys set a fair price of what you want for a car and thats it, i see that as helping you're viewers getting a decent car for less money than you can buy one for anywhere else completely done, its refreshing

    Rob, I used to work at Ford factory for 27 years and anything that could possibly damage the body work of the car was covered. I have always wondered why you don’t put protection on your ramp post to prevent you guys accidentally opening a door on it especially when you do such a nice job of finishing the cars. Regards Rob

    Excellent work. It never ceases to amaze me how much modern headlight units cost. But then I was brought up on sealed beam units and conversion to plug in units. Cheap as chips!
    That’s going to be a great car for the money for someone.

      Just replaced my two front headlamps on my 2006 audi a3. Bumper off, remove headlamps, upgrade bulbs into new headlamps, refit headlamps and bumper, slash shields. Thats it. No programming. I managed to source 2 brand new genuine Audi lamps from two different sellers for £105. Euro wanted 250 each aftermarket.

    The BMW is looking very nice now it is done aside from those few bits to be fitted. It is good that you have another option for doing your painting for you. As you are pleased with the results no doubt you will use them again. Another one is saved and it will be out the door when you are ready. Thanks Rob and Chris for the final video on this lovely car. 👍👍

    Had the same issue on my sons M240i when we repaired that, because it was the adaptive icon led headlight, dealer price over £1200 plus modules and programming! Managed to find a used one online and luckily the smaller module was still with the damaged headlight in the boot, the larger one however we purchased an aftermarket one from eBay from Xennonsuk, we still had to have BMW program it but we had it done at the same time as it’s scheduled brake fluid change. This was nearly two years ago and it has been perfect since. So they seem to be decent quality and only £90 where bmw wanted something like £400 for genuine.
    I don’t understand why headlights are so damn expensive these days

    not sure if u sorted the parking sensors but the outer sensors are PMA sensors and are different from the forward facing ones. check part numbers. each front sensor shares a positive and neg with the other sensors but each has its own signal wire that have to be pinned correctly at the plug.

If you bought that car off a sales pitch they’d have to load it up just incase something went wrong and they had to fix it ☹️ Anyway fantastic as always cheers Stevie 😎
