As you can tell, the front and back bumpers have been superficially painted but they did a very bad job, So I have to get them redone.

In no particular order:

1. I know for sure the plastic bumper tabs that lock into the clips (that are screwed onto the car) have been sheared off, I looked so those "tabs" need to be repaired or I need a need front bumper. I have not looked at the back, but the back seems to fit ok but I would need to check.

2. Driver's side lower door pillar needs to be re-upholstered.

3. LED bulbs all around inside and outside.

4. Steering wheel repair - question to come.

5. Chip repair - 2 big ones on the hood and a couple of stuff here and there.

6. Entertainment system upgrades

7. Solar film on the windshield

8. Reducing front window tint

9. total exterior and interior professional detailing (after I fix my bumpers) including some clear bra and some form of paint protection

"4. Steering wheel repair - question to come."

So guys follow up question:
The steering wheel leather is coated with something? That coating comes off to reveal a matte looking leather underneath? Can the coating be redone or do I need to reupholster the whole wheel?

Yes the left and right painted leather sections can be repaired by any good upholstery shop. I was quoted 115 euro and less than 2 hours work. It's on my to-do list also
