nice painting skills.

but i think it looks a bit weird the way the black comes so close to the front wheel, and cuts in at the headlight half way.

would have looked better on a slant, with the whole front in black, including black front bar.

sort of like this

It's good that you like it.

it's your car.

You were after opinions..

I just think the black comes down too far.

and it makes it look as though it wasn't thought out very well (to me!).

I don't mind cars which are 2 toned with a massive range of colours.. even those ugly gold and brown silvia's look ok sometimes.

but this black comes down too far I think.

As someone mentioned earlier, if it had stopped at the bonnet/top of the guards level, it would have looked great.

Mine is painted Westinghouse white from factory and I think it looks better than that combo you've done.

Having said that, I like both the black or the candy red you used, but on their own. not in that design.

Geez so much hate...

It's your car man, if you like how it turned out then f**k what the rest of the people here think.

I like it, not my idea of PERFECT but it's very different, at least you're not the same as every other man and his dog.

why is it so important to be different than everyone else?

I don't get the obsession.

Why the fark do you want to be the same?????? :(

Fark, it will be a boring place if we all did the same things, had the same opinions, drive the same cars, had the same colour/mods/power/handling/etc/etc/etc.............................

true thanks heaps. i chose to be different because when you go to a show or an event there's nothing worse than seeing the same car over and over. i posted these photo's just to see how it would be viewed by other people and and alot of you like it and alot of you dont and thats cool. but if it bothers you that much and it's (yuck,worst you've seen) looks like shit or what ever just think you dont own it and you dont have to live with it. if its that bad please SAU delete this thread and my apologize if i offended all the skyline owners of australia.

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
