E30 Zone

Guys, i own a 2 door E30 with mtech 1 kit + mtech 2 spoiler.

http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictu ... 2091061381

my current color is maroon and i was thinking of changing other color..I have silver color in mind..

any comments?

all welcome.

cheers

2 tone with white, off for the full respray next week!!

Nogaro silver.

Keep it the same.. And find a tech1 spoiler...

I've never seen an E30 coupe

However, if you are sticking to E30 colours, my choice would be laser blue which looks really good all freshly painted and in the sunshine

Keep it the same. It's a nice colour.

the car looks great - keep the colour as it is but get rid of the tech 2 boot spoiler... it doesn't work (IMO) but replace it with a tech 1 as has been said above!

cosmos black.

alpine white, why are e30 2 doors called saloons when e36 2 doors are called coupes

because the e36 is a coupe,

and e30's to square to be a coupe

alpine white!!

i thought it was to do with the doors and boot,a hathchback has a flat boot which opens into tha cabin,a saloon has 4 doors and the boot is separate,and a coupe has 2 doors and a boot which opens into the cabin, or was i wrong all along. if that was so an e36's boot doesnt open into the cabin, i think its a bit late at night to be trying to figure this one out

one typical trait of a coupe is pillarless doors which the E30 hasn't but the E36 has

good point

I think the spoiler could work but i'd get rid of the chrome and alloys. Colour is nice, it just makes the chrome stand out far too much which makes the sporty tech ii spoiler and kit look wrong

has to be the oul delphin grey............

Also a lower roofline.

I vote keep the colour but get rid of the chrome around the windows.Keep the chrome bumpers and side strips though,gives a nice contrast while at the same time not making it look like a Sport copy

Oh and those wheels and spoiler need to go in the skip

RIP

The wheels don;t look to bad but not as good as BBS's (Religion is an easier argument to settle than BBS wheels !).

The spoiler isn't really in keeping with the car but i like the colour too - i would keep it. It's easier to scale K2 with one arm trapped inside the back end of a mountain goat than it is to change the colour of a car properly, unless you know of a very good shotblasters and even then you need a wizard welder afterwards - big money.

Go with the others suggestions and ditch the wheels and spoiler. I've replied to your PM about wheels and helping you ship them mate - whatever i can do to help, ok.

Best of luck.

Thx a lot for the opinion..Will de-chrome the door linings.

will consider the suggestions and budget for the change..

cheers

tech 2 spoiler on tech 1 kit is just plain wrong..

nice car tho, like the wheels.. tho it would look alot better lowered..

alpine white 2 is the best colour imo and i like your wheels, nice because they are different

white eh,controversial colour these days.i think certain 80,s cars look superb in white ie e30,e34 e28.coincidence that ive got a white e34 and e30.supposed to be an upcoming trend in new cars.have to wait and see.

To be honest I love the spoiler Jhonno is right about putting a tech2 on a tech1......Im sure you actually get flogged for that crime these days.

Keep the colour but replace the wheels.....with what I do not know!!

Stormhunter - PM'd you again mate. I can't understand why the first one didn;t reach you but the message reads - Yes, of course i'll try to help you get some wheels posted over there, no problem if i can help. If you don;t recieve the PM this time, i will have to post the same reply again in this thread so i'll watch today and if nothing by tonight, i will repost here.

Hope that's ok mate.

As has been said previously...

The Society of Automotive Engineers distinguishes a coupé from a sedan (saloon) primarily by interior volume; SAE standard J1100 defines a coupé as a fixed-roof automobile with less than 33 ft³ (0.93 m³, 934 L) of rear interior volume. A car with a greater interior volume is technically a two-door sedan, not a coupé, even if it has only two doors. Some car manufacturers may nonetheless choose to use the word coupe or coupé to describe such a model.

A 2 door E30 has the same rear interior volume as a 4 door, as has the M3.

No E30 is a coupe.

i like the wheels aswell

No E30 is a coupe.

Other definitions of coupe include 2 doors with a sloping roof. A matter of opinion really. No one accepted definition prevails, be it from an egg head or otherwise.

Other definitions:

* An area of forest felled in a single operation

* Ice cream topped with fruit and traditionally served in a stemmed glass or silver goblet.

* A single round of baccarat.


I just thought they were funny.

keep the colour , spend your money on tech 1 spoiler ( seen on ebay and zone for about £50 ) maybe wheels?
maybe a set of springs?
