    Mtech 2 w/ black "plastic" cladding

    Hey all,
    I'm considering an Mtech2 kit soon. If I get one, I was thinking of a special paint scheme. I think I saw it on an E30 once before but can't find the pics now. So I thought I'd do a bit of "paintshopping" on someone's E30. Here's what I came up with (sorry for the poor quality of my paintshopping):

    Original:


    And mine, with the black "plastic" cladding, "smoked" turnsignals, and smilies:


    I know, I made the paint on the side skirts too thick. But the front is ok. What do you guys think?

        I thought that it kinda gave it the E39 M-sport look, or, well, not too different than stock (Hey, E30s have plastic strips). I agree it doesnt look so good on the side... but it seems to look nice on the front...

            I dislike.
            It looks like every other E30 that doesn't have an Mtech kit.
