Guards Red has always been one of my favorites.

[E30SPDFRK]

Audi A3 red, not sure what it is called.

Edit: found a pic

[Garageaholic]

I am really starting to love the red that comes on the CTS-V

Calypsorot FTMFW!

Mauritiusblaumetallic. Was an E30 color on some of the very last E30's made, mostly in Europe, although there is one from Canada.



I keep suggesting it in these kind of threads, maybe one day someone will do it.

The kit is an AV3 E36 M3 style kit with an extended lip added to the front.

one vote for original color.

doing a full color change (properly) is like another $1-2K in my book..

and frankly, not worth it.

from the pics, what you've got is fine, and matching of interior.

is the paint fucked up?

ferrari red isn't far from what you have.. I'd hate to open the bonnet or trunk on a car and see even a shade difference from what the factory put there.

If you're gonna drop ~$2K, I'd go for different wheels, or different skirts, or different motor, or .. ?

[Tavern Gnome]

Crimson Red or Japan Rot. Both BMW colors. A full color change is a LOT of work. I'd be looking at reds.

porsche meteor or graphite. The graphite is a $3200 option on the 07 and up lineup.

Guards Red has always been one of my favorites.

+1 on Guard Red

oooooooo gaurds red looks nice, yes the paint is finally beginning to look pink, and i think you guys are right i might as well stick to red. i have a good bodyman, and it wont cost me much more to do a full color change, but i dont think to many colors will go with my interior. you guys dont think the red interior will go with byzanz??? anyone have time to pshop byzanz on

[Jand3rson]

I would vote to go a different color than what you have now, not just another shade of red.

And this isn't meant as a slam toward you, but I don't think there's anything more hokey than opening the doors or hood of a car that's been painted and seeing the original paint color.

[windsor318is]

if i change the color, im painting everything properly, door jabs will be done as well as the engine bay. thats not a problem. its the interioir i will not be changing

[GaryE30]

If that is the case, I would stick with a variation of a red color. The red interior will only go well with a red exterior or some neutral others (silver, white, black, grey)

[mentaleeill]

mismatched reds look shitty together. you either have to do the same color, or jamb it out and change the shade and/or color. my friends m3 started out as henna, he had the body painted viper red, and the jambs looked way off. disgusting actually, so he did the engine bay and jambs viper red too.

that being said, paint it BRONZIT!

[windsor318is]

ha ha no bronzit over here, i think im going to go with either the rossa corsa ferrari red, or the porche gaurds red. need to price the difference. anyone know if the new m3 red color is just imola? or new color
