It must be someone else if you're asking what it is. They're stupidly rare for e21 but google 70's / 80's rear window louvre and you'll see them.

BMW Motorsport front end would have looked cool. The de-chrome look and a lot less weight too! Good progress though anyway. :thumbsup

Good to see people trying different things with their cars. I reckon this should work well with your cars body colour. :smoke

Spoiler would go well with your Alpina-esque look.

oh jesus, take it off man.

in fact that panel would look a million times better if it didnt have lettering and the lights were tinted red too.
