red mirrors. yes i'm a dork.

we had two white cars with red mirrors from the factory so i figure might as well. updated the m to match the rest of the family. i actually tore them off right away. going to order a darker shade of red. anyways, i thought it was cute. hope you enjoy.

I'm loving that Fiat Abarth 500. I'm struggling to like the M3's mirrors but for some damn reason, it looks so fitting on the GT3RS.

You have a very nice collection of fun cars my friend.

Well, if you're gonna be a dork then go all the way. Put some red brake calipers and rims on that bad boy.


Cheers.

actually i quite agree. think its the shade is too light and really need some red somewhere else on the M3 to balance it. the fox red interior being so dark doesn't help either. anyways, no big deal. just some vinyl.

the Abarth is a fun little car. its a go-kart. hopefully it will be sold in US soon. gets 35mpg without even trying.

Do it like your Fiat in which there's that little strip of black going along the bottom? Might look better, hmm....

nice sentiment. i like your post on the subject. don't think i would have anything else to add.

i have had a lot of different interesting toys and some of the more entertaining ones were the cheapest of the lot. i fondly remember my 73 MG midget that turned off whenever going left too hard. Also E30 325iS and E30 M3. love them. need to get back into one some day. hoping i can find a sport evo while over here in germany. Of course also like opposite end of spectrum. F430 scud prices are plummeting thanks to economy and F458. F458 is beautiful too. its definitely buyers market. wish the F40 wasn't so unobtanium. my original 80's dream car :-) I got to drive with one on the nurburgring GP track in the rain. definitely many others out there like us dorks.
