WHAT COLOUR FOR THE RIEGER? YOU DECIDE!!

[bootyman]

Guy's i cant seem to decide whether to leave the Rieger the colour it is now or to have it sprayed the colour it was before, so i've posted 2 pictures of both colours. Please help me decide which one to choose. The red is the colour it was and the orange is the colour it is now.


Cheers

Ben

[Zayyan]

The orange is far more eye catching so I'd say go with that

Gonna add a poll to this Ben?

[Karan]

keep it how it is now dude!

[TOURINGDADDY]

:yeahthat:

[320Touring]

defo the red ben-sooo deep and shiney

orange aint in the same league

zayyan-i'm surprised at you saying orange -surely red is the fastest colour?

[Zayyan]

It's the fastest colour but this car's not about speed, it's about posing

[320Touring]

It's the fastest colour but this car's not about speed, it's about posing

same as your 316i??

[bootyman]

Blimey. I though everyone would say change it Ho well,. Come on guy's. More openions please.

[Jhonno]

thing is if you go red you'll have to do the wheels again...

Red is nice tho.

[bootyman]

The wheels and the hardtop will have to be done again even if i go with the same colour it is now, so it's not really an issue.

[Hani]

I think the red is probably the nicest colour i've seen on an e30. It looks so rich in colour and really deep. I wish i could do my car that colour.

[Zayyan]

the 1.6m40 is a damn fast machine against an m20b20-so much so that one may be my next e30 (whilst the touring is off the road getting fixed up)

Slow you say?

not slow-never used the word-but given the fact you get 40mpg, you aint exctly caning it

anyway its Jhonno's is an auto and removes the problem of the nut on the gearstick

[Zayyan]

not slow-never used the word-but given the fact you get 40mpg, you aint exctly caning it

But it does have the ability to be "a damn fast machine" as you say

[Geeman]

Go Red.

What about all the door shuts and engine bay though...?

yea verily, and forsooth so does my m20-but potential is no use unless realised

furthermore-most things appear flighty compared to a 1.4 zx

[Jhonno]

Red then dude..

[bootyman]

It's about 50/50 so far. If i do go red the it wont necessarily be the smae red you see in the picture. My painter said he'd play around with several coats on different panels, then i can choose the one i like. I'm really confused cause the red is proper fat and just glows, but i like the tangerine as well, cause no other car i've ever seen has that colour and it's so unusal. Ho bugger, bugger, bugger. I really want to get this right cause it's not everday you get to respray your car at the cost of over Ԛ£5k for free

[nav786]

the red is nice but i will keep it as you got. if you go red what will you do about engine bay. the colour you have is amazin.

[Jos]

Can't really add much to this as I am colourblind

Although I think the bottom pic is a better looking colour although they really do look exactly the same to me, only the bottom one is lighter

[A1BMW325iSport]

Ben both colours are nice but i reckon go for the Red its just got that edge

Matt

[calypsocab]

Hi Mate, I think Red

[Sjoerd320i]

red for sure mate

I wanna lick it when it's ready

[bootyman]

Well i've just ordered a candy apple red and a cand magenta. We still have some of the tangerine left over, so we're going to play around with all 3 colours and see which one turns out the best, then we'll go for it. Thanks for all the sugestions and please keep them coming

329i I told you, you can lick my car anytime you want dude

[Sjoerd320i]

can't wait to see the result mate

[bootyman]

Me too dude. We're going to play around with different basecoats especially silver. It makes the candy almost glow. That's how we achieved the glow on my current car. Even House of Kolor were a little supprised when they saw the car, cause people normally use black basecoat. I'm looking forward especially to the magenta. I'll take some pictures of the panels we spray on Monday night and post them up on Tuesday.

[Widge]

Change it the red is awesome

[Gwynleym10]

I think the orange really suits the car, and it brighter, just ready for the summer!

[Jhonno]

Deffo red Ben

Looks awesome! Lovely and deep

[Andy335Touring]

ORANGE !

[Mahmood]

Tangerine for sure!

[psychochild187]

red
but i dont like the wheels in the same colour as the car

should go lowrider rims 200 spoke reverse rims , hmmm that would be eye catching

[Moofles]

the orange is definitely the best, it changes much more in colour, whereas the red looks quite flat for a show car - it might just be the pics though. i have seen your car in the flesh and also quite a few other cars with paint like this, the red won't look as special - the orange makes it look a lot brighter where the sun hits it, just looks better overall imo...
