      They are to match the plate? yes?

      I would not do it in general - but that's just me.

        Well I've been thinking of a white & black theme thats why ive been painting all the chrome bits black. The blue matches the europlate and the Roundel, i dont think the motorsport strips would make sense and i dont want red so the german flag doesnt work for me either.

          I would leave it without, but its your car, and individuality is the key.

            I like seeing this kind of stuff on E30s.

            Not chrome vinyl "tribal flames", but kinda tasteful stripes and such, even that 2 tone car is kinda cool.

            Personally, I would say something like "MStripes" covering the entire hood might be cool, too. Kind of a Warsteiner (sp?) groove, maybe.

            However, I also would never ever have anything like that on my own car. Never.

            JMO, bubba, do as you see fit. Fuck all of the "purists".

                  i wouldnt go all black with the RS's, idk seems like you might as well do remembers if you're going to hide that much detail in the wheels. hell or even stock weaves

                  my 2 cents

                    Now picture me slapping the shit out of you for doing that to RS's.


                    Stripes look ok though..

                        i say do it, every e30's got to look different somehow. it looks better than ///m stripes. you can always take it off.

                          So even though I hate black centers with polished lips.. those look great.
