    E30 Alpine White's with Black Bumpers Request!

    Considering changing the color of my front bumper to black. Just curious what it looks like on other member's rides?

    Thanks!

    It will look like you got in an accident and were too cheap to have it painted.

              So... What you're saying is it will look great.

                Thanks for the replies. I've seen a few diving board e30's tucked and painted black that really give the car an aggressive look, but those weren't in alpine white and with plastic bumpers. Still on the fence about it, so we'll see!

                  Thats the look I was going for, mine has pretty much no options and I wanted it to look a little different from all the other Alpine E30

                    Why not just plastidip the white parts of your bumper to try it out?

                      imo that look has a lot of what we don't like about diving board cars. You want to use the strip of black which is there from the factory to break up the bumper and make it look thinner and sleeker. I would def not do it. There's a reason they came like that on pov spec cars


                      it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

                          Heres a solid comparison and honestly, I love the painted bumpers with the early lights and late valence

                            I don't know, I kinda like the all black diving boards on an Alpine white car.
