So I bought my first e30 last year it has just had all the rust cut and new metal welded in! 316i 4dr 1989, I know most of you will be thinking WTF lol but I wanted a daily e30 hence the 4drs and 1.6 engine (which I will be looking into swapping soon). Now the car is completely rust free came the decision for what bodykit it should have, so I decided on keeping it original with an is valance, lip and se/is skirts. Now looking for a bit of advice on colour, the car is currently white but I'm not a fan of it whatsoever. I've narrowed it down to zinnoberrot, misano, granite silver or nogaro grey? Although it's my car, my decision I'd love some feedback...
