E30 Zone

I'm 99% sure I'm going to matt black the touring.

Also thinking about doing the headlights & main beams in yellow ala french style. Reckon the windows with a silver tint would also have it looking pretty rude and a suitable drop.

So has anyone got any pics of ratty looking e30's, particularly tourings. Just need some spank material until I can look out on the driveway and see my own effort

Matt black is hard to keep clean.
I would go with satin black.

search for 'munky', he has a matt black touring

Thats wierd i was just wondering today what my touring would look like matt black

E30BeemerLad ,are the yellow lights fully legal?

Probably note mate

Just think they look pretty cool

If orange sidelights are I'm sure they will be. Look damn fine though

Any ideas as to where they are available.

I seem to think you can get them from the dealers

france..

Right, french dealers it is then

You could tint them.

Didnt darksounds have a 'rat look' e30 last year?

Yeah, twat3d a taxi iirc

I was planning on a satin black e30, but don't you think the whole "rat" look is getting a bit tired now?

Post taxi incident:



note the rudeboi position of the drivers seat ROFL

The 'Rat' will never tire or die - there's just to much rust in these old girls to dodge it - it'll all come to each of us eventually

I just cant see the appeal of a matt black car

Agreed, a rat doesn't have to be in Matt Black but, this seems to be the chosen 'Daddy rat' colour to have.

Mine how ever is staying Diamond Black

This sh1tty enough Lee?

Pulled the Touring back out the body shop when my lad was born 5 months ago as I needed it,yet to go back!
I think the yellow primer/filler & Sterling silver is quite fetching,oh and with a splash of Salisbury Plains up the sides

this is not a bad idea but would they dull the brightness of the lights? that would be really bad! these e30's dont have the brightest lights ever

i like the red tourer.......but matt black is cool

Loving the council diorama.

jonb, thanks for that. Think i caught it well in its natural surroundings.
Now hands up all those who had to look up the definition of diorama. Know i did

Matt black is just horrid - there's no excuse for it on a car with half decent paint. It also makes the car absolutely valueless. The market for old BMW's handpainted matt black is a bit small.

Don't do it.
