Each to his own....

I'd be surprised if anybody would give you more than £250 when you come to sell it....you've kin of ruined it forever.

Saying that, the wheels look nice.

Well been having a look & there's a few on E30tech & E30owners who've got theirs painted satin black & most of them seem to be home brew/diy jobs & look pretty good.

there's a tech 2 kitted E30 on e30tech thats had a satin black paint job & it looks the dogs bollox :)

hmm, maybe another job for over winter :cry:
