It probably had something to do with my car getting rear-ended twice, once because my friend was playing too much in his car, and hit me. which caused me to bump one of his friends, which decided he would stop in front of me randomly because i overtook his buddy, and this guy comes out of his little crappy pos chevy 4door car acting like hes going to beat the crap out of me because his friend hit pushed me into him. now i have two fkn little dots on my rear AE kit from a license plate mount.. :P

the guy that had my car before me let the garage door come down on the back of my car and f***ed the back bumper, took a chunk of plastic out.

PIC
Ouch, thats just like what my mom did to my dad's M45.. it has a nice mark exactly like that one..

But ive got to say, that white looks extremely clean.. if i had to choose, id retake my max in Titanium / Pearl White / or Super Black.. other than that, id get it repainted with that nice Graphite gunmetal color from BMW

The edge of the clear plastic film probably has some dirt in it.

Wait one second, that does sound familiar....i have a 2002 max that I recently purchased and noticed a crack on the same side of the door. After a good car wash, it was just dirt in the clear plastic.

agree, that part is actually the part of the frame which is metal, and metal can't crack.
