Just got some se sides for my e30, just wondering if its worth the effort of spraying them the same colour of the car? What do you reckon?

offer them up as they are and step back, see what you think.

Its easy to take them off again and rattle can them if you dont like them in black.

thats what i did and have also looked through the photo gallery to see other cars.

kept mine black in the end on a white car.

you can buy a fitting kit from BMW.

you get white clips which you push in a hole you will need to drill in the sill.

I did mine quite easily.

I'm thinking I need some skirts for my track car just to finish it off. What total cost are we looking at from 3rd party suppliers?

Here she is skirt-less winkeye
