I picked up a set of clean unmolested OEM tail lights to replace my shitty smoked cracking tail lights. I took the bulb covers off the back and noticed they were extremely dirty so they got a bubble bath and a good scrubbing down.
Much better now:

I then wetsanded the light, masked off the reverse light and sprayed it with red VHT tint to get rid of the amber corners. Here they are:

I am going to wet sand them and clear coat them tonight. Once that all cures I will wet sand the clear and polish them to a mirror finish.

I am thinking about wrapping the car in 3M Burnt Orange Gloss vinyl for a little different look. It is very similar to BMW Fire Orange and reminds me a lot of the 80s Jagermeister cars which were Inca Orange. I feel like the color is period correct but gives the car a unique flair since E30s never came in orange from the factory.
Here is an E30 wrapped in Burnt Orange Gloss:

Finished up my tail lights. Very pleased with how they turned out. Still need to install them. I have a refurbished euro plate filler on the way as well which should really tie it all together.

Got bored and installed the new tail lights as well as some tan recaro sport seats that I've had sitting around for a while.
These were nasty, cracked and full of water. BYE BYE!

Out with the uncomfortable "comfort" seats (funny how that works) and in with some nicely reupholstered Recaro sport seats. So much more comfortable and supportive. Looks much better too.

My European plate filler has finally arrived! Big thanks to Marco. If you need one he is your guy.
