here's the premise:

i own an m3 evo and love it, but not mad on the colour (estoril). if you could wave a magic wand and change it, what colour(s) would you make yours?

i'd go for:

-oak green (vw)
-arctic silver (bmw)
-le mans blue (bmw)
-LSB (bmw again)

I think E39s look great in green, I wanted a green one but mine was a bit of a bargain at the time.

That was really stupid, I didn't think to do that paperbag

Looks really good though, I think I may just have to do that at some point smile

Happy with the colour of mine, but I can't help wonder what my MX-5 would look like in irridescent (sp?) TVR purple/green.

Instead of spraying the Mondeo wouldn't it be easier to sell the silver one and buy a black one? silly

Probably! But thankfully I have access to a workshop and equipment so all it would cost me would be the paint. And I doubt I would find another one as good as this one for such little money any time soon smile
