LY M3

[BlackGoldMatt]

Browsing through PH as you do on your lunch break. I know there are a few E46 M3 fans on here, and i know there's alot of LY fans on here, so thoughts on this..

Seems a good price also!

That looks nasty in liquid yellow totally spoilt the car IMO

This. Ruined a perfectly good car, shame really. Not that liquid yellow is a bad colour but is best suited to 182's and r26's.

How has it ruined it? Bright orange à la Focus ST would ruin the look of a car like this, but there are worse colours than LY. Some people don't even like it on the Clios.

I saw a Mitsubishi Colt CZC in LY yesterday, it looked brilliant and really suited the car.

I wouldn't have it myself, but I don't think it looks that bad.

It would probably look better with silver wheels and without the black bits.

As said, mostly suits the 182/R26. Imola Red would have been a better re-spray option IMO

It makes the car look very cheap imo, not a fan.

I think the suggestions LY suits 182's etc isn't a case of suiting, it's more just a case of it is a factory colour and when you see it on a Clio it's the norm, it's like a mind thing.

I quite like the M3, I'd like to see it with a proper plate, no black roof etc, they're the bits that cheapen it IMO, then have the lungs in a dark grey or carbon effect rather than solid black.

EDIT: And lose the black wheels for a dark grey too.

I quite like it too.

Better than some of the real shitty colours the E46 M3 came from the factory in.

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Its a poor LQ Yellow.......thats the issue

 

[CrippsCorner]

I like it tbh, much better than Phoenix Yellow! I think it's the wheels that look wrong, should be anthracite.

Respraying cars in a non OEM colour is a no no for me.

Cheapens it no end and the general consensus is its hiding something.

What about that guy who sprayed his Clio grey (tehchnical grey I think) and gave it slight rear arches, it's got a thread on here, I think universally it was considered one of the best Clio's on here, I certainly was a fan. A few of the white ones look good too.

Sounds nice but what does that have to do with anything in this thread?

A LY M3. If CS was a car, this is it. Needs turinis though.

After I'd noticed I'd forgot to quote it was too late to edit; blame Tapatalk.

Multi-quote is more difficult on Tapa too, so I can't quote sj, but that's the car I meant. I think if you pick the right colour non-factory can work. Sergio's Midnight Purple S15 comes to mind too, but again it's done well and Midnight Purple is just about the best colour going IMO.

I think if you lost the barry boys number plate it would help an awful lot.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Black wheels & roof, fake CSL bootlid, awful rear diffuser, mupflaps, horrible number plate.

It makes me glad that i sold mine tbh, wouldnt want to be associated with such plebs lol.
