Colors I think would work well with red interior:

White

Black

Most Silvers

Non metallic Gray

I’m not a big fan of metallic colors on old cars so I vote for medium to darkish grey. I’m not sure bmw has the right color, though. Your car would look incredible in Porsche “black grey” or “non metallic slate grey”

Anyone with some photoshop skills want to help me with a (hopefully) small project? Shoot me a PM

Because, as I’m sure you’re all aware of, I just can’t sit still, but I am still flustered about the accident, I cleared out the back of the car in preparation for the body work by removing what panels were in and all the stuff I was storing in the top cubby. Then I worked a little bit on the pillar/headliner trim.

Because the headliner had a different windshield contour and the visor mounts in different spots, I decided to continue the pillar trim into the area where the Saturn sun visor sat. That gives me clamping area for the front of the headliner as well as easily covering unused holes.



Biggest problem at the moment is being antsy to get to work on the body. Have to wait for insurance to clear everything now.

Damn sorry to hear what happened. I’m always down to kick some ass if the dad doesn’t come around with insurance. Seattle is a short plane ride away for me.

Black, grey, certain champagne colors like Bronzit, silver, and white all work with red in my opinion.

[adam.nonis]

No bronzit?

Lachssilber seems to be quite a good match, and it won't be too far from the color combo you already have.



Sorry for the mishap

^^ I love lachs

What’s your favorite BMW color that would go with a red interior?

I go see Rich at BelRed to get a quote and as I’m leaving I get another call from the dad, “I JUST LOOKED AT THE PICTURES AND WE’RE NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY, FUCK YOU, YOU TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY!” So I directly hang up on him and go back to the shop.

I'd say he looked at the photos of the car and then assumed the usual car enthusiast = hoon attitude, and "I'm not paying THAT (whatever the quote was) for some crappy old Volvo to get fixed" without any understanding of what he's looking at.

Sucks, but the insurance company will be able to sort it and won't listen to them. Quite clearly he should have looked. It's a sad reality that dash cams seem to be becoming a necessity.
