Do you like?

Ok you know when one of your mates does something to thier car and no-one knows if they like it or not? Here is the mate in qustion, and he is a zoner wazpick. Im undecided I like the black and red contrast, but dont know if I like this, So anyones views? Got to admit it does look good in the metal.

Tell him he is long overdue for another optical examination!

Mon Sep 17, 2007 10:50 am

Not too sure myself.

If the whole of the bonnet was black, then I think I would like it - would match the black centres of the wheels.

Follow the VW boys and paint the roof black... lol

Agreed, paint the whole bonnet it would look cool, it's an E30 not a Plymouth GTX!

dennis the menace will

To be honest, and everyone has their own point of view, I really don't like it at all! Keep it all red. I think that black bonnet stuff suits American muscle cars and some Japanese motors, but not BMWs

If he likes it then why not!!

I saw this car at the 'hotrod' meet at Lea Gate early this month.

looks ok imo.. would need better pics

Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:05 pm

i think it compliments the brows, grill and the wheels so a yes from me

Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:20 pm

I really like that,as said tho,some better pics are much needed

Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:23 pm

Well its not my cup of tea, but if he likes it thats the important thing. Each to his own and all that.

Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:49 pm

personal taste again isnt it what works for one not ness the other

Mon Sep 17, 2007 7:06 pm

Not keen, all red or all black

Mon Sep 17, 2007 8:08 pm

I think it would look better on a white car. Still don't mind it too much though.

Mon Sep 17, 2007 8:23 pm

I actually quite like this look and was thinking of doing it myself.. Any more pic's?

Mon Sep 17, 2007 8:34 pm

No from me..but each to their own.

Mon Sep 17, 2007 10:27 pm

Looks nice

Mon Sep 17, 2007 11:32 pm

I will pass on your comments and see if I can get some better pictures, I think I have come round to the fact I like it, but wouldn't do it myself, your right the red and black scheme if what he is going for, and I think he is pulling it off.

I'm sure he will thank you for your comments.

Sun Sep 23, 2007 5:05 pm

Hi guy's, yes it's me who owns it and im greatful for the mixed comments. I was undecided where i liked it or not but stil i think it works.
Next i think i might paint the whole of the bonnet, what do you think???
Still the turbo conversion is still gonna happen when i get the funds...
Thanks guys

Sun Sep 23, 2007 5:23 pm

I like it, although, i reckon it will look better with the whole bonnet done

Sun Sep 23, 2007 9:46 pm

The black red contrast? is that on the car or between his hair and his top?

lmao

Sun Sep 23, 2007 10:30 pm

Dude, he is blonde.

Sun Sep 23, 2007 11:15 pm

"dude" it was a joke.......................

Tue Sep 25, 2007 10:39 pm

Cheers gra325i, I think I might do that this weekend, but then again I've got swindy's engine bay to paint.
But even so im gonna do it very soon. Ill keep you all posted on it

Tue Sep 25, 2007 10:43 pm

My mate has a red touring with a black bonnet. Looks ok.

But imo if you like matt black, just spray the whole car, dont be a pansy and just do the bonnet, it looks like you wish you had a carbon bonnet, but dont.

Tue Sep 25, 2007 10:56 pm

looks

Wed Sep 26, 2007 10:31 pm

cheers snoops. Munky i think ill try the whole bonnet black if i dont like ill just take it off an try summat different

Wed Sep 26, 2007 10:34 pm

lol!! you've got my skirts next week no time for bonet respray!!

Fri Sep 28, 2007 11:20 pm

Haha! hi Josh, you put the eye brows on yet???

Sat Sep 29, 2007 3:11 am

i do like the idea, just not with the red, but good effort all the same

Sat Sep 29, 2007 5:13 pm

wazpick do the whole bonnet mate

black and red work well together IMHO.

After my engine conversion I ended up with a black bonnet (a spare I had lying around

) as some damage had been done to my red bonnet... I hated it at first but it's kind of grown on me

It looks better in the flesh, the red bonnet is being sorted and will be going back on.... maybe.

Sun Sep 30, 2007 5:09 pm

We deffinately need some better pics to see it properly.

Have you thought about doing it in gloss black instead of matte?

Or :

Mon Oct 01, 2007 7:30 pm

CharlE30 that looks really nice, i'd like to c it in the flesh.
