Who makes the best set of coilovers for an E30 that sits low?

x2 on a nice, warm white being the perfect color. I don't think an Alpine variant would suit it right.

[adam.nonis]

At first I saw everyone in here talking about white and thought to myself "nooo, white would be so boring" - then I saw the renderings and instantly changed my mind. White would suit it well.

Still gonna go out on a limb here though...

Grigio Medio!

I love grey. My daily is grey.



But, the car I’m really trying to not to be mistaken for looks like 1000 different colors depending on light. Including grey.



So, I’ll probably pass on grey. As much as I like it.



Here’s my top twelve choices for a white. Six of those are the variants of two colors.

What's that nice warm white on 2002s, "Chamonix?"

ooo ... this is nice.

If you are going to go with alpine white consider the later version, Alpine White 3.

White cars are clean cars, it would tie everything else in nicely as well.

My donor was Alpinweiss. Maybe I should just stick with that. Call it done.

yes

Yeah, I can understand that. And the show car boys are overly impressed with the overdone crazy race car interior, and they'll be comparing that to yours every time.

[adam.nonis]

Total color change. The vert I used for the chassis donor was white. Maybe I’ll just use that color. My 855 was pearl white (I think a Toyota color actually), but tri-coat paint is always tough to match, so I’m thinking of staying away from that.

Mostly just tired of the constant comparison/mistaken for the Vöx Amazon. They do look really similar, so I don’t blame anyone, but if I’m gonna have to repaint the whole thing, might as well give it a color not already associated with another car.

[LateFan]

I’m not a big fan of metallic colors on old cars...

Exactly.

Porsche Black Grey

Wow, that's cool. On this 122, as detailed....? Not sure. But wow that 911....

I also am tired of the comparisons with this Amazon so I’m thinking of something way off.

Yeah. Y'know, that white render with those wheels is looking pretty crispy to me now. With red seats? Mmmm...

My first Volvo

Are we talking total color change so all this work has to come off again?

Of those colours, amethyst
