Re-post, most people said if i remember right ?

[VWinston]

[SGP]

Looks like a weird case of brake fluid spillage !:eek:

[cliffybabe]

what has he done

[Bat-Fink]

Keep the colur but get rid of the marks.

Decent deep dish wheels.

S52 engine with decent suspension etc.

All IMO of course

[Jhonno]

Still awesome!! Love it!

[d6dph]

Awesome, looks great imo.

[DaveD]

what has he done

i believe he rebodied it in real Copper...

[Jhonno]

what has he done

it was bronzit before.. even if your not a fan of what he's done anything is better than bronzit

[ste]

It's very cool.

[Jhonno]

the style guru has spoken

[maxfield]

Absolutley stunning IMO

[e30bemer]

Its not my cup of tea!

[Simon13]

i like it, i like pintwork like that if done well!

[toby]

dirty little thing - I kinda like it

[Rich_W]

Love it

[oguz327]

Easy

sort of like it, wtf going on with the back bumper lol

[Hyperion]

not sure about it, that paint work is odd, i dont think he should have done that, must take a shit load of elbow grease and BrassO to clean that up

[E30BeemerLad]

love rat look

those federal bumpers suck though

[ste]

the style guru has spoken

[Skip]

Anyone who says that isnt cool is just plain wrong!

[SGP]

I can't help thinking it still looks like an industrial accident though

[WerkdE30]

there is nothing cool about that i would feel embarassed to drive such a thing. i have seen better looking cars done in primer or spray cans or ... bird shit

[Skip]

Anyone know what the wheels are on it?

[VWinston]

Borbet T's

[Skip]

Cool cheers - just wondering if it would work out better to buy a set of those from here instead of refurbishing my MIM 1900s...? Hmm, what to do!

Can you fit a 9x16 rim on an E30? Anyone got any pics?

READ BELOW FOR ANTON'S CONSPIRACY THEORY #1:

This is a conspiracy,

The dewd with that car had a little accident with his paintwork or tried spraying himself or something,
and it came out like that, now everyone is actually falling for it thinking it was MEANT to be like that..

there's no uniformity at all!!

those rims are cool, but the way i drive it will definitely HURT the wheel arches!! thats for sure.

if anyone tells me they can take that car and powerslide it around a corner without one of the rear wheels rubbing the fender i will find it hard to believe!!!

<--- man that did sprayjob on above vehicle

[Jhonno]

it was definately meant to be like that, the copper colour is actually copper, and the green is the colour it goes after weathering, but the guy sped up the weathering to create the effect (there is a name for the technique)

[d6dph]

No accident, As Jhonno said. I posted the original thread on this after reading about it on r3v.

Think the term is patina Dan?

[Jhonno]

Yeah thats the one Dave.. Knew it was something like that

[FBF]

patina isnt the technique patina is a name for an aged look. either way thats sexy as hell. would be criminal to get the brasso out!

[d6dph]

But thats exactly whats he's doing, aging the brass colour to create the patina.

Edit: The link is in this thread http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=

[anton]

was the guy on crack when he did that... maybe he was on some type of drug which made the colors hypnotic..

shame it looks like such a dog to us plain chemically clean peoples.

anton

[Jhonno]

Im chemically clean and it looks fooking awesome.. i'd rock mine like that..
