my DD e30

[Gienek]

had a little shoot not too long ago.

The car has 240k on the clock and still pulling strong.

Well, it's red...

[Jand3rson]

Maybe it's just cause I'm colorblind, but in that second pic, that car is PINK. Red just goes to shit on BMW's when hasn't been properly taken care of.

I don't want to come off like an asshole., but that car just looks awful, WAY too much red. I'm suprised the grilles and front lip aren't red. I'm not a fan of the whole "dipped in paint" look. Must have contrast.

Word, door trim that's red should go to black, door handles and trim, then it'd be a nice car.

[Jand3rson]

Agreed. And a super-thorough detail job WILL bring that red back to life. I've seen red E30's that were Mary Kay pink be brought back to bright red.

I bought the car this way, I have not changed anything besides the wheels (came with decent tires) on it. I got to wax it and take out the swirels in the paint. Although, It is just my winter beater, I am not planning to fix anything due with apperance. Just machenical issues to get me to school and back.

Also, the white balance in the pictures is off, the colour of the car is red, not pink. Ill try to post a more correct representation of the colour.

[Jand3rson]

It looks like a good platform to turn into a really nice car, and I'm sure it already is nice. The stuff I mentioned is just the stuff I would change about it.

[96 Cosmos]

Good platform for your daily driver. It works. Drive it.

[Jand3rson]

Werd. We're not the ones that drive it, you are. If you like it how it is, more power to yah. Do what makes you happy.

[Simon S]

fix the side trim

as a DD though - good job.

[trent]

I love the red "second" shadowline.

[Dave]

Uh-oh, better get Maaco . . .

[kommissar]

Uh-oh, better get Maaco . . .

I think it's more like, "Uh-oh, you got Maaco."

I bought a 70 dodge dart that was painted by them. It was scary looking.
