I don't get it, he makes no mention of the horrific paint job?

Body shop: what can we do for you sir?
BMW owner: can you make it look like I've driven through a large puddle of piss?
Body shop: say no more!

Looks like someone tried to paint it yellow then realised they don’t have enough rattle cans for it

Maybe it was originally yellow and someone very tall with a bad back has done a "not all that bad" attempt to paint it black?

Shit wrap. Failed it's MOT a few days ago for not having rear reflectors, then passed again the same day. They almost certainly cut a bit of the wrap out to reveal them.
I mean, that does look just flat out fucking stupid though.

Look closer - its not even a wrap. There's overspray eveywhere.

Assume it was a spray on plastidip wrap which they decided looked crap and started trying to jet wash off

What's the yellow though? It's a black car that they've presumably tried to plastidip matt black?

Why is there a picture of the battery under the boot floor, with a black bin bag?

Yeah, good shout. Still not quite sure what they were trying to acheive with the yellow though

From the side it looks like he's replaced the sills and arches and sprayed them with yellow primer but hasn't got round to respraying the top coat.

Yeah, had another look and really have no idea what they’ve done or were trying to do

Someone on PH called about it and apparently he was straight up about the yellow - he just started rattle canning it one day
