Do you mean you don't want them colours or don't want them standard colours?

I.e. something like estoril/neon/mauritious(sp) blue or do you not want any blue?

i just dont want the regular standard colours. ones that you see all the time on the zone. for instance i just sprayed my is estoril blue. i want this car to be different and stand out be lairy but a bmw colour. i.e grants convertable is along the lines of what i'd like (not your everyday colour) but i just dont like that colour.

I think cabby's look good in a dark blue or red with a cream interior. Rather than a different colour have you thought about doing something with the paint. I mean like glittery, marble effect or one I really like myself is when it looks like water droplets.

If you want something different, then i would go along with the techno violet....it's an awesome colour when polished up and maintained, and i don't think there's anyone on the zone who has a e30 cab in techno violet!

I have to say this as this pic keeps coming up and it's making me cringe....why oh why would you put those wheels on that car???? :cry:

That car's crying out for some decent wheels to do justice to those arches!

:cheese: :cheese: :cheese: :cheese: :cheese: :cheese:

sorry rant over :o:
