opinions saught!!

[gra325i]

Right..my sport is getting its genuine bumpers and valances back on before getting painted next month and i was looking for your opinions on whether my colour scheme will work or not?
my idea is alpine 2 on the bottom and candy blue on top, kind of like dips' tourer as seen here



my white is obviously whiter and the blue i,ve bought is a bit darker

so what do you guys think..do i go for it or not?

[grantfk10]

See if someone can do a photo-shop mock up first Graham?

[ed325i]

If I was to do it I would have the blue at the bottom.
I say go for it.

[Alyman]

Wouldn't be my own chioce of colours but if those were the ones I was using I'd be tempted to do it the other way up - blue on the bottom half and white on top

[maxfield]

I'll give the a photoshop ago.

[Alyman]

Just a quick 'shop but you get the idea. Tech 2 white on blue:

how much do u guys spend on ur cars then

[maxfield]

The photoshop guru beat me to it

As for how much people spend, search

[fuzzy]

im not a fan of 2 tone cars at all but even then id say there is still to much of a contrast between those 2 colours for it to look like anything other than a clowns or a childs toy car. imo of course.

Choose two different colours. While it's flattering to dips to choose a similar set up, it's obviously inspired by his work and the first thing I'd say is it lacks originality.

Having said that, it does look good.

Perhaps work with a different colour for the lower half, if you really like white?

[Scruffymurphy]

I always thought a red over black E30 would be nice. I think the white over blue is a bit harsh.

Very 1980's and A-Team!

[fozzymandeus]

White over lime green.

You know I'm right... (well at least someone could photochop just to check what it looks like... )

[pnd]

These two tone set ups dont really work because they break up the lines of the car. Thats the objective reason why they look odd after that its down to taste. but it won't help resale value either

i was thinking this but an apple green as its more suttle, it would also make it look old school

that does look cool the other way round

[Rosc0PColtrane]

That's just wrong!

[Raj_p]

Dips, you got a front end view of the car???

[maxfield]

Black over red looks cool

[dips346]

Dips, you got a front end view of the car???

no sorry
the colour looks ok not sure about the car

[Raj_p]

lol, ok

[snoops]

Blue looks better on the bottom with white on top

[nickso]

id be more tempted by darker colours for a two tone paint job, fuzzy is right it looks to much with bright colours.

does anyone remember that e21 turbo that was on ebay about a year ago? it was done in metallic grey/silver iirc....that looked cool

[Rosc0PColtrane]

What about the e30 with the minilites, I forget who owns it. Dark/light grey combo, slammed on the deck. Lovely car. Was at t'pod last year. colour

[320Touring]

Graham- would it be the F1 blue you have mixed by any chance?

[maxfield]

Salsport?? I believe.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

That's the mofo. Looked ace!

[maxfield]

Still looks great assuming it didn't get sold.

Was featured in PBMW this year if you want me to put the pics up?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Do it!
