No, unfortunately, it's not back yet. My friend caught whatever flu is going around and the last piece (rear bumper) of resin was still drying. I was too busy to go in yesterday or today to take updated pictures. He'll be there tomorrow all day, so I'll try to swing by. I can't make any more guesstimates. When I get it back, a new thread will be up, I promise. Thanks for everyone's patience and support

Is he still your friend (joke ends)?

If you have surplus patience for sale, I am a buyer.

The whole world is following this drama, even us in Sweden!
Are you sure your friend has not sold the car...?
I think I saw one looking exactly like your one in the streets of Stockholm yesterday....

I stopped by Sunday night to take new pics and to help him wrap a few things because he's been sick and doing this alone for the past 2 weeks. Wrapping is not easy at all especially in this 20-30 degree weather we are having- too little heat and it won't stick, too much heat and it rips when applied brand new. Because of this, some parts had to be redone. The F15 has a lot of curves/body lines. Overall, I'm very happy with how it's turning out. All I know is, it will be done this week...whether that's tomorrow or Friday, I don't know.

I'll say "AWSOME" so I can sound younger.

Looks great even in its current state of incomplete.

If I may, it looks so clean without badges. It really shows the color well. Something to think about.

Trust me, I've been debating it. I'm not sure what to do. I'll see how it looks once rebadged

Thanks, bro. Yeah, it's definitely tough when weather isn't on your side.

Wow. I.... am speechless. Even in the present state, your car looks gorgeous! It's like a brand new car altogether. From the update pics, the job is so OEM! Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures and the interior!

Well done, buddy!
