Stay with chrome, or Shadowline (Photoshop)

[Rkive]

What do you guys reckon? Stick with the chrome look, or go black?
Keep in mind that Il be getting the windows tinted soon, SE side skirts in black and a tech 1 spoiler.

Which would look better?

Chrome





Shadowline

Stick with the chrome mate. Imho it makes it stand out much better + how many of the original chromies are left.?

[whipsey]

gotta agree there stands out better

I was thinking the same thing, its just the chrome close up is gone funny.

I think it is oxidisation but unsure, I have tried my best with some Autosol to try and get rid of it but I can't.

Can anyone reccomend a product to get rid of the build up?

Got to say I prefer the shadowline so would go with that

how many of the original chromies are left.?

Thats as plastic as the day is long mate

the chrome looks much better in them pics compared with shadowline but IMO with tinted windows it wouldn't look right

You mean someone actually put chrome on there?

H,mm forgot about your tints, shadowline maybe better then Rkive

personally i like the black look, all my e30's have had black not crome.

but if you like the classic look i recommend the crome.

its yp to you tho!

On the BMW 3 Series models from 1990 to 1991, the exterior trim was updated slightly to receive new body colored front and rear bumpers as well as a blacked out window trim instead of chrome as on the early models. My car was manufactured right at the cutoff between years, so while it does have the body colored front and rear bumpers, it does not have the blacked out window trim. Instead it features the chrome trim.

Definatly shadowline

Do you reckon its safe to spray them wilst there on?

Tape everything up around them and use newspaper.

Its just they can break quite easily I have heard trying to get them off.

[xedman]

i would buy a original set (already Shadowline) or buy a another chrome set and spray them properly, i wouldnt take the risk of spraying them on the car. if you dont do it right the paint will just flake off and look crap

[BMJG]

i have the crome on my cabby but it has loads of other bits that are that way your car is like my other e30 only crome is round the windows so looks a little odd

No the chrome is likely to be original.
The term `Chromie` refers to pre facelift models ie chrome bumpers

[gooner1]

Got you mate, changed me mind now anyway

[shedrool83]
