A demeanour's geographical explanation of a golf4 driven from lagos to Akure with a burnt engine is as thus.....
The topography and texture of the road that connects densely populated lagos to a sparsely populated akure is swampy and waterlogged thus requiring the engine not needed to be running whether burnt or not and as crow flies, the time taken for the journey is one-fifth the time of the earth's rotation on its axis. This road cannot be found on the map as it is a new discovery called dancok savannah.

You want to repaint the car? I am very wary of these painting I see being done on cars in nigeria; they're disgusting to say the least. Its always too shiny, and there are always ripple below the surface. After a few months, the paints begins to look like they were plastered on the car, it doesn't look like a second skin anymore. Where would you be painting this bmw?

I understand your concerns. But like in all things....there are painters, and there are "kpainters"
Test case below:
Notice the lights, door handles, door trim, wing mirrors, emblems all completely removed?
No taping over anything
