The BLUE Thread

Lazur / Royal / Macao Blues only please though I don't mind seeing some Blue interiors.

Blue Leversz...

Minty Blue Door Cards...

Blue carpet...

Blue Parcel Shelf (Speakers are blue under there...)

Blue Mats...

Blue / Green coolant leak...

And my old Lazer Touring (rotten to the core but my next E30 will be an M5X Lazer Touring or Gaybrio).

My old Mauritius Blue touring
(Not on your list, but the best blue in my opinion)

And one for the lighter blues, here's my Glacier 320.

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 12:03 pm

Looking smart ratch, only thing missing is an m20

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 12:09 pm

Lazurblau is a lovely colour. My old 520i touring was this shade and looked purple'ish in certain lights.

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 12:15 pm

Are any of the light blue colours allowed?

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 12:26 pm

Only if they have no dents

Forgot about Mauritius - awesome.

Not really into the lighter blues myself but go on then...

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 3:44 pm

Lazer

Royal

Both very nice colours, but having had both side by side, clean Royal is better IMO.

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 3:51 pm

Royal is too blue for me. I've had a Royal Touring too. The Lazer is more shape-shifty and polished sup nicer.

I'm loving those wider BBS - got the same roof bars for mine too lol.

How council, a boot lid badge fitted to the bonnet !

This issue has now been resolved as the bonnet badge was fitted to the boot

Alas theres not much I could do about the bonnet paint which has been marked by a peasant trying to beast the boot badge flat !

Shame on you ! you probably don't even know their respective part numbers ?

Word of warning - if you commission Pete to do ANYTHING on your car, be prepared for a full 'autopsy' and subsequent dressing down on the incorrect metallic hue and screw angle of any non-OEM hose clips in your engine bay.

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 4:57 pm

tut tut Ratch

The Morris Ital (2.0 SLX iirc

) hoseclips fitted were a true sight to behold , they didn't even match and incredibly, were not fitted with their heads in line !

Pete - you must have some nice BLUE morsels to contribute to this thread?

By the way, I need some minty blue seat backs (mine are 8/10) which I noticed could be found stacked in that Blue Touring you have...

P/X and some cash?

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 8:32 pm

..my glacier blue one (just before it was shipped off to the Old Colonel)

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 8:36 pm

My lazer blue

Post Fri Feb 11, 2011 9:21 pm

Blue = Good

No chrome, too few doors and no Cosmosblau = Bad

Ahhh, that's better

incorrect placement of roundels is severely wrong,

I think lazer blue is crap, and very council , Royal blue is far better and cirrus is quite good,

Aero silver is the best, a very pale metallic blue not available in the UK ,

Isn't that most convenient, e30topless

Haha, pardon me...

I doubt that.

Heres my Indigo Blue interior. All original leather, no retrims here

Post Sat Feb 12, 2011 8:49 am

Nice - but what's up with the manual window winder filler plug - yeeuk. Fix that quick.

e30topless - The most council colour going are the light silver blues. You only ever see them on the most chavv'ed up cars.

Post Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:02 am

all cab door cards have that.

Post Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:10 am

Shame. I've never liked cards like that, looks like the electric window retrofit was half-arsed.

It's far too low for a winder filler. It must be for something else.

Post Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:28 am

Back on topic.

This is truly awesome.

Gold stripes on metallic blue may be my ultimate fave E30 'existence.'

Post Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:32 am

Blue FTW.

Even Doom Blue has it's appeal - looks like Lazer from certain angles tho...

Post Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:42 am

Lovely colour Alpina blue as on the b6...WLN had a C2 tourer in that shade at one time.

That C2 is Royal with natural, one of the best combos IMO, proper 80's BM!
