Re: Easy Photoshop request ?

I can do it if you want mate. Not long finished a matte black E30 render just a couple of days ago.

From what I've heard though, darker colours tend to suit E30's better.

Pretty sure the 4G63 (Mitsubishi Evo motor) fits under there. Been thinkin' about doing that swap when I have an E30 and the cash to do it, just to be a little different, but it swallows up petrol like nothing. So I'm thinkin' M52 just to play it safe.
