Bought an e30, can't figure out the kit(s) on it.

[Helltime]

Long story short, got this car dirty cheap, no rust just paint faded, needed some work to get it on the road, so far it runs and drives great and still don't have much money in it. I am trying to figure out what kit (or kits) are on it.

Spoiler:


Sides/front:

Also I have read that some of these cars are single stage paint and some are not, which is which? Judging by the roof it looks like clear coat peeling, but I am not to familiar with body work on cars, more of a mechanical person.

Breyton or breyton copy of sorts....looks good.

[series88]

reelismpro seems right. And yes, looks good!

Man I wish mine would've looked like that when I got mine for dirty cheap...

[AndrewBird]

I believe all late model (89+) cars are two-stage base/clear along with all metallic paints, regardless of the year.

Nice find. You should make it look exactly like this:



also that paint typically cleans up really nice with a buff.

I just happened to get lucky and know the right person and the previous owner had let it sit for 2 years (gave up) moved and didn't take it with him, so when I came up and offered cash for it he decided to let it go :D

I have put a bit of work into this (not much money though) I am pretty sure who ever owned it before the guy I bought it from knew e30s and seem to have taken care of it well. Once I got my new tires put on I have been driving this everday for the last couple weeks, absolutely love it.
