I have 2 red E30s and luckily I still have the sanity not to want to do such a thing :)

I have not and do not intend to do such a thing, but my mate has done it.
I've told him that I've done colour theory as part of my degree and it looks shit.

Just want to prove to him what a mistake it is...

I am the guilty party, 8) did it out of curiosity and because i'd seen it once in a csi and i thought it looked..well..very 80s. The paint job was lousy so i agree it does look erm not great

the funny thing is i was contemplating painting the back plate (between the taillights) red as well! doh!

have a look at the old pics of my car when I had a red grill, it doesnt really go. So the answer is no, standard black plastic best.
