Need help choosing a color! I'm pondering between dark blue, charcoal grey, white, black, and this red.  |  |  | | 05-25-2013, 02:24 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Montreal Posts: 283 |
What color is it now? There was a nice dark cheery red for the euro market.. | | | | | 05-26-2013, 11:33 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Florida Posts: 404 |
It's cordobarot right now. It's old and faded and I don't really like the color anyway. | | | | | 05-27-2013, 01:40 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Vancouver, B.C. Posts: 131 |

That's what I've heard, but I want a different color. | | | | | 05-27-2013, 06:36 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Montreal Posts: 283 |
Metallic is a nice touch. You repainting everything? Under the hood, engine bay, door frame and all? Is there a theme like m3 stuff or interior? Techno violet! | | | | | 05-27-2013, 08:13 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Jax, FL Posts: 541 |
how about a vinyl wrap? | | | | | 05-28-2013, 02:53 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Boston, MA Posts: 1,152 |
Try the wrap and it can be reversed. If not pick a limited M3 color for it. | | | | | 05-28-2013, 03:55 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Florida Posts: 404 |
I'm trying to get the M3 front bumper and sideskirts, and working on finding a Mtech rear for the car, but I might just end up keeping the base bumper. I am going to be painting everything door jams and all. Will wait to paint the engine bay until I start my swap at some point in the future. Techno violet looks tempting... Maybe I'll do white with a techno violet engine bay.  | | | | | 05-28-2013, 06:12 AM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: Santa Rosa, CA Posts: 407 |
If you pick red, my vote would be Imola red. Looks similar to the image you posted. __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün
