Title: LTW flag for my car.
Post by: FL318is on January 15, 2007, 12:48:54 PM

Would like to get some opinions here.  Been wanting to get an M-sport, tri-color LTW for the E30.  Now a member here has them available;

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=80285

I was thinking about the 3 color but was mildly thinking it would be an "M-car" wannabe "mod."  Ultimately I just like the colors and don't really worry about preceptions.  But, I have come to respect the opinions of this board.

Also thinking ghost or mono color scheme.  My car is alpineweiss (1991)

Your turn.

BTW, my Is lip spoiler is getting painted and the plate filler will be going on this weekend.

Definitely for a track car. For a restoration/original themed car, not so much except M's.  Personal opinion, of course, but for a street car the graphics should work with the lines/shape of the car. These are sort of boy-racer stick ons.

Whats up D. Clay.  In the back of mind I thought (knew) you would reply and I am glad you did.  Your point is well taken and greatly appreciated.

To each his own.

I'm still getting them. Hey if they don't come out looking good it's just a decal and you take it off.

Please post a pic. I have D-Schwarz and an curious. Might look good with minimal contrast - i.e. D-Schwarz and dark grey.

I'll post a pic when I get them done. It's too cold to do anything now!

Personally, the decals only work well on darker colored cars.

I think MR 325's setups was quite nice. Take a look.

I HATE these decals on anything but Alpineweiss.  I ONLY like the ///M Tri color original one.  I would do it on mine but doubt I will, think I need a turbo and clean setup first.  If I ever own an alpine e36, that is clean, I will do it with the large hoop LTW wing too.

I ordered mine.  M colors.  Will post a pic and DIY when I get them.  Picking up the painted iS lip spoiler next week.
