your car used to be worth anywhere from 3-6 k, now with the engine bay painted blue you lowered the originality value to a bag of RICE.




keep up the work,
welcome to the forum

Seems like r3v is getting pussified more and more lately...'tis sad, never should've dropped the pron threads.


Before anyone says anything, I've been wastign time on r3v since 2009.\




edit; Your engine bay looks retarded.

[Wh33lhop]

Wait... did he spray over the accelerometers?

And the strut mounts... and their fasteners... and the ground lug...

I am really hoping we just can't make out the masking, but seriously, how hard is it to unbolt the struts for paint?

Seriously i can't be the ONLY person who has tuned in to this thread who thinks that a light blue engine bay on a white car looks like shit. There is no other "tone" here, just that.

I'll stand by my opinion.

You are not alone. And of course people are going easy on her.

[bernzpeed]

I think because you're a girl, and an attractive one at that, these guys are being easy on you.

I'll be the first to say it looks like shit. What's next, the wheel wells pink?The inside of the trunk painted a different color too? Are you going to paint the wheels blue too? Looks ghey as hell but whatever floats your boat.

If you don't like what you see, then move on to the next thread. No need to crap on someone else's thread.

There's nothing wrong with putting the owner's personality into the car.
I think it gives it character.

I own an alpine white 2 and just about everyone I know. There's nothing wrong with doing something different to make a car standout.

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DONE PAINTED YOUR BAY A COLOUR THAT WASNT APPROVED BY EVERY MEMBER OF THIS FORUM, I THINK MY LIFE IS OVER.

I like it. Props for moving this project along faster than most on here.

Someone could say you're being overly harsh on her, also. From a Moderator it's a bit much in my opinion. That said, the style isn't much for me but then again, 80% of the cars people go ape shit over on this forum lately haven't been "my style". I guess that's the clincher, huh? "My" before the style part. Same can be said for your overly aggressive opinion.

This. While I'm not planning to run out and paint my engine bay seafoom green or anything, I do find it fascinating what things are and aren't 'allowed' on E30s. It's like there's some self-appointed Style Police who think it's their duty to ride in and dog on other people's work. There really is more to life than MTech & BBS (although I like, & aspire to, both those things). In the end, if Jay likes it, then Kool & the Gang. Same as anyone else's mods to their own car. This shit makes we want to go get big flower stickers and put them in my engine bay, just to watch people get all apoplectic.

I understand that when you post a thread with pics & info about your car, you are inviting comments & criticism; it's just the tone of the criticisms that leave me scratching my head.

Good luck with the build. You're putting in some serious hours! It's refreshing to see.

[Schwarz325]

I hate to see a 318is get butchered up for a swap :(.


Other than that very nice work, not sure about the color tho.

[samiam3356]

This thread just took a wrong turn. Good luck recovering! ;)

How about a "FINISH PRODUCT" shot with all the masking removed cause is sure looks like a lot of non body color components got SMURFED.
