Countless write-ups on R3v, it's fairly involved, but fairly easy.

Have you tried $tealer? They might have some old stock...

You could just steal it, but for a 4dr, i dunno where... perhaps next time tim is in town?

I like the chrome, it also looks good on Tim's car and his is black...I think it suits red cars better...

from not being a fan of silver cars, ive come to love the look of grey/silver e30s...grant it would look very nice

ive heard of people using tape...this sounds nasty....but thoughts? i cant wait to be all black....

as in mask it u mean?

i rekon mask it. taking off the trim would probably damage it, or cause severe anger.

ive done a few e30s at work and found that using vinyl works well, as in signwriting vinyl it looks alot nicer than paint i used flat black insteed of gloss black it goes well with the window rubbers etc and looks tidy and proper...
