Hi Scottie, and welcome to the Zone.
Looking for ward to seeing some pics. I'd go with black eyebrows, but it's your choice.... do what YOU think is best.

I'm in Kincardine, so not tooo far away from you. :wink:

Mine are colour coded on the cab, but on my touring (which was also Lagoon Green) they were black.

Don't forget to fit the correct 15" BBS and keep it original.

welcome to the zone mate :thumb: i used to live in rosyth,fife until i got my senses back and moved back over to the civilsed side of the forth :D
i think if your puting the eyebrow spoilers on then colour coding them white will make them stand out more. if you leave them black to match the grill i dont think they will be that noticeable. but if you have angel eye headlights fitted then i wouldnt fit the eyebrows at all. winkeye

Hey,

Keep at it mate, and everyone else 'modifying' their E30's, so mine can be the only original E30 in the WORLD!!!

15" BBS cross spoke = WIN by the way :P

Good time to get an E30 too man, I just spent my drive home from work drifting all the way in the ice, WOOOOOOT!
