Not bad, do you know if their is any transparent automotive paint available to just tint it in dark red, instead of normal black

I personally think it looks extremely silly and prefer the "stock" look, but if you search on a couple of the other E30 forums, it has been discussed ad nauseam.

Older pic. Now rockin' a euro plate filler. All red or OEM is the way to go IMO.
