What color is this?

[e30vert]

Looks much more like Glescherblau Metallic

It looks much more like Glescherblau Metallic. Since I own a Cirrus Blau vert I know that the car posted does not have enough of a grey hint to the color.

Look for forum member Kruzen and take a peek at his profile to see his Glescherblau Metallic e30 and I will think you shall agree that the colors are very similar. Glescherblau Metallic is more blue and lighter than Cirrus Blau and its a GREAT color as well.

Seconded, we had a customer who's e36 was Glescherblau and this seems about right.

:p Thanks for all the feedback. I'm going to see the car on this Sunday.

So I bought the e30 in that pic. Now here's the deal, Tech2 kit is all fiberglass and what's underneath is eurobumper. I'm leaning towards eurobumpered Tech1 look (I found a originalTech1 front/rear bumper set).
What do u guys think? Should i remove the fake kit or keep it?
I will pic some photos tonight.

Good photos of fake kit,
looks good first time I have ever seen a Tech1 kit on a car with stock ride height

If that Mtech 2 kit is indeed a fiberglass replica it looks decent from 5 feet away like in the picture. Things to note are the gap between the front bumper cover and the area right above it. It sits too close and is not the same gap all the way around. Not a big deal though.
An original OEM Mtech II kit would be more desireable from a purist standpoint as it is ABS and is not subject to splintering and cracking the way fiberglass is.

Personally if the car will be driven often I would devote my dollars to a suspension overhaul and go with a healthy drop. Reason being is you would want to bash and scratch an aftermarket Mtech II kit rather than the original. The Mtech II kit in original form are few and far between.

Post more pictures of your new ride. Perhaps in the Members Rides forum...

Yeah the installed tech2 kit is fairly decent and it is fitted nicely. Pictars to follow. I do have a brand new GC coilover setup.
I found an original tech 1 kit (front and rear bumpers) for a fair price and that is y i am contemplating whether to buy the tech1 and install them or keep this tech2 kit.

Honestly, its fitment is much better than most of the replica M-Tech II kits I see on E30's. Aside from the small gaps in the front and rear where the bumper meets the rest of the car...

chip some of the paint off and bring it to home depo....
lololololollolol

Is that where you paint your car ususally? or am I suppose to laugh with u?
If u got nothing useful to input, just stay out of the thread.

damith, killacam was attempting to make a "joke". i myself thought it was quite funny, since home depot has advertised for years that they can paint match any color. his suggestion to chip off some paint was ludicrous, and therefore a good indication of his statement being a joke.
