I have an E reg 325 tourer (Diamond Black) and I need a few bits for it, mainly body parts. I have sorced an L reg 318 tourer which is advertised as metalic black. Am I right in thinking that this will be 'diamond black' as well? If so will it be the same shade of 'diamond black' or were there different shades? Ta :)

the paint code is also on the chassis plate, diamond black is 181

Chances are both cars may of been painted over the years, diamond black was the only metallic black used on the E30's.
