Well so many bits and bobs to do on the car including fitting a tec 1 i am going to sell a few organs and go for a respray - perhaps a coulour change - i really cant decide on colour though - i am torn between 3 - cirrus blue (current colour) lachs silver or diamond black i think its more between the blue and the silver though, if you have a suggestion for a good colour for a tec 1 car let us know and if you have a good pic of an e30 in a colour you like then maybe you could post it up as it may help me decide,
much appreciated.....

On a tech 1 - i reckon cosmosblau metallic!!!

I loved the one i had in that colour - slightly bluey/silver/grey!!!
(sorry about the image size!!)
Looked better in the flesh than it does in that pic though and i haven't seen many in that colour!

Saw a 318i Lux a couple of months ago in that colour... did nothing for me i'm afraid

Diamond Black is the classic colour, I love the blue that the "design" cabs come in and also the dark green

I've always been a fan of Arktisblau, Lachssilber & Delphin grey.

If your brave paint it luxorbeige!, I have an e34 in that colour and i think its quite pimp!
