E30 Zone

how many people have resprayed there e30 in audi aviator grey or any similar colours. i should be picking up my 318is soon and im just getting ideas

It depends what you're planning to do with the car long-term. I'd imagine that most of the responses on here will be that if you're going to spend some money respraying your car the best thing to do is give it a good respray in its original colour as that'll help it hold the value. Failing that go for an original E30 colour.

If you're tracking it or keeping the car until it rots then the choice is yours. If you think it looks good, whatever colour you spray it, then it's whatever floats your boat. You're the one driving it so you should be the one who's happiest with it

I agreed

Was looking at a Lambo in that sort of colour at the weekend and it just pulled it off but any thing less than that sort of car and i think it will look like its just had a paint job chosen by some OAP... Only my thoughts though but as above if you like it go for it ....

the only grey for an E30 is Dolphin.

I agree with this!

In fact the only colour for any E30 is the colour it left the factory wearing!

Only my opinion though

off topic but did they do a brown or yellow e30 ?

think there was a brown, yellow don't think so.

im not realy botherd its a 650quid car, and i like aviator grey i think it will suit e30's with black highlights..

im not a buffty concourse type i just like designing my own car

so whos good on photoshop?

Do you not have trouble finding a Grey car you've parked for a while, up,t, North, doesn't it just blend in with all it's surroundings

i think aviator grey could look pretty cool on an E30. Better than matt black, anyway

Asthetically pleasing, is it not.
