Hi all
If I wanted to colour code the trim on the side of the car, do I paint the existing trim or is there an alternative trim I should buy?

E30's were never colour coded apart from the tech2 kits which were all painted the same colour.Racer75 wrote:Hi all

However if that's to your taste, then go for it.
But I'd strongly recommend looking at few few pics on google of an E30 the same colour as yours with colour coded trim. I think the black trim makes for some good lines and breaks everything up just right.
