E30 Zone

Ok heres one for you......

What color would you say my car is (in sig). just the basic, black, blue, red, green........


Why would the bloke who has just passed my car for an MOT put it down as GREY ???????

I have lost all faith in him as a tester !!!!

What else has he missed

better a blind tester than one which sees problems not there..........

He had failed it on front tyre, Handbrake and front number plate.

sorry.

But to say its GREY !!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO...............

A grey E30 looks cak.

even dolphin grey????

hmm i think its daimantschwarz-metallic

as AronJarl said above!

Mine is the same colour,Met Black but is on the log book and MOT as Grey

i think your car colour from the pic looks like a Lamborgini yellow

Dolphin grey is closer to silver, a nice metalic, very nice colour. But i mean a horrid flat grey, there is one that parks next to mine.

And yep, mine is Diamondschwatzmetalicthingyniceandshiny.........

i reckon Diamond schwartz fella

glad you said delphin nice

My first car was a Silver MKII Golf. The tester (at a franchised dealership no less) put the colour down as white on the certificate

Dumb.

As.

Flumps.

Of course, I laughed.

And then told him to write me a new one from memory (aprt from the colour). Now Silver is actually much more easily mistaken for white than black is (yeah, really) but you'd think that a VW technician of ~10yrs experience would get that right?

Numpties.

what colour is your car then coz if its white thats a rubbish story

I would say black

Take it back and make him do another certificate for free!

there is nothing wrong with a grey e30

I would not call that grey, even if it was, its metalic.

It looks like it has a hint of blue in there somewhere.

I will post up a pic of the grey E30 that parks on the same car park as me.
it is really nasty, it looks like moulded plastic.......

Mine is metallic black, and has been called black, diamond black, met black, grey and graphite on various mot's!!
