Does any one know which spec or model in the E30 range were fully colour coded?

They look so good on E30;s.

Factory colour-coding consists of door mirrors and outer bumper moulds. Some had side-sills added and lower front spoilers coded, but that's it.

No 'full' colour-coding came from the factory. (thank God) :wink:

To be honest Jon... yours is one of the exceptions. You always see colour-coded E30's in either Red or White, mostly with matching grilles which look horrible!

I admit it was a sweeping statement and I retract (some of) it.

I have to say that yours looks bloody nice. The colour suits the coding well. 8) I think it helps with the black grille and rims...

Thank's mate, i do see your point of the red and white E30's with the grill being the same colour, it really does look horrible, especially when the owner finishes it off with the sqaure head light's :puke:

I'm glad i don't turn up to meet's and people are really saying in their mind's, "I really don't like that :? ". I'm happy i done it, at first i was'nt but with the grill and rim's, it help's to break it up :D
