So my silver 316 will soon be having a m52 engine fitted. But while ive got the opportunity im going to clean under the bonnet remove all the front and wings but should i paint it all satin black or silver?
Im in 2 minds to change the whole car colour to black but it wont be for a few years .
Your opinions?

Re: Underbonnet colour
Painting it a diffrent colour is a cheap fix but it also looks cheap in my opinion go silver

Re: Underbonnet colour
I almost went for a different colour bay but everyone talked me out of it. I'm glad they did now;


Re: Underbonnet colour
Always paint it same colour.

Re: Underbonnet colour
So what about doing the whole car a slightly different shade of silver?
Maybe ascot?
Or an e30 colour ...
Dolphin or granite
