Alpine White.

I can't abide white cars.

Beige is almost as atrocious.

Personally I think cirrus blue is a horrid cheap colour. Infact, all the blues are gash except the one the iS was avialable in.

That's the one, couldn't think of the proper name.

Wine red is foul as well and the same goes for opal green.

Heh.

Got to say, many many moons ago when I used to do silly things to Cortinas, you could pretty much guarantee that the only immaculate shells to be found were in a similarly terrible colour to that 'safari beige'.

(I wouldn't buy the white ones :-p) :tongue2:

I think the e30 is one of the few cars that suit white imo but i am a tad biased :D i quite like all the colours that e30's come in tbh. Didnt they do a horrid brown one though?

Maritius blue is quite nice, very like lazer blue though.

I personally don't like mineral blue, sorry magpie. But you'll selling it now. :)

white cars in general are gash, but at least on an E30 if you have a blocky chunky body kit and some spoilers, it looks like a pair of teeth with wheels.

And if it's a chromie, braces and "plaque" around the wheel arches ;)

I have to dissagree white cars are cool but only cetain cars pull it off well, E30's being a prime example.

A white tech two sport with indigo blue leather! :drool:

White cars are the 'IN' thing at the moment. I think the white M3 press release photos are what done it... the one's where they had the M stripes...can't seem to find any right now, but here's some examples...

I had a terrible 318i for a few months years ago which was 'Pusta green' but unsure of the spelling - colour code 194 anyway. Ive even got a touch up stick for it somewhere :mad:

Check the comedy value plate :wink:

In my opinion - the worst colour for the E30! LOL
