Gona be respraying my 316, its gloss Mineral Blue now and really dull. :( I'm lookin for a colour dat would bring it upto date and really compliment the lines of the E30 and make it stand out. :cool: Something metalic or pearl. I wanna stick to Original BMW colours, something different, dat u wouldnt normally see around.

Anyone have any suggestions?? :D

Neon green and neon Blue are E30 colours, and both very eye - catching. Daimlerman is retoring a Neon Green cabby (look in the pictures section).
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is
