Considering the possibility of a colour change form Dolphin grey to Lachs silver.

I think I prefer Lachs and its possibly dark enough that I could keep the log book as grey and what ever data bases the car is listed on, ie insurance etc.

So if any of you kind gents have a picture of your Lachs silver car in good light then posting them up would help me out :D

Oh I've tried the usual google image search, pants! and a search on here but that didn't turn up much either

I noted that the V5 entry for colour on my laches car is grey,so you should have no problems.Good colour in my view,looks pinky grey when polished and still looks good when it needs a wash,does not seem to show road dirt in the same way that black or white or even red cars do.

I think Lachs suits the shape of the E30, gonna be a tough call as I deliberately went after Dolphin grey, but now I'm swaying towards a lighter grey

Guess the body shop quote could be the deciding factor
