I'm sure that looks fantastic without livery. What color is it now? What color is it going to be?

Man I searched far and wide for this pic I saw once of a silver one with white modern white wheels but now I can't find it.

But basically imagine a modernized 320i like this:

repainted into this silver

It's a Mercedes silver, I have the paint already, just been too busy to get to it

I tried spraying it with Tamiya TS83 a couple years back before I knew anything about painting and didn't realize that colour was not to be clear coated, so unfortunately that has to be redone properly. I think silver will give the body a nice muscularity

That'll look really good in silver...will show off those massive flares nicely!
