    My e30 story, finally have it all together again. Pic heavy

    Took some better pics of her today. My 1988 e30 325is. Decided to paint the car a Ferrari gunmetal gray that they used in the 80's and early 90's. Thought the color still kept a classy kind of oem look to it. All the body and paint work done by yours truly. Had a pretty bad dent on the passenger side door where it met the fender, pulled it and saved the door. All the door jams are painted, engine bay, and trunk. Changed the valve cover gasket and plugs today and feels like it's running top. Let me know what you guys think of her.

    Fun fun, got to love wet sanding a lowered car.


    Paint time



    Looks lighter out of the booth.





    Finished product




    Rear emblem shaved. Not for everyone, but I like it. Haters gonna hate:cool




    Hello s52:devillook


    What the paint looks like more out in direct sun, has a nice silver shine to it

              Yes I've seen that color, it does look very similar. Bmw gunmetals usually have to much purple in them for my taste. The front lip is markIII, just need to cut it to fit.

                Amazing! only thing I have to say it needs is a proper iS lip.
