Oh, ALPINA,

I didn't know you had an BMW e21 .......

Looks very nice. Smooth color, aggressive headlights, etc....

Will look even nicer with a set of mdflps.....

Very nice. Car seems to be in great shape. But not a big fan of the India-made headlamps though.

I am just curious. But shoudn't the steel lower valence be removed or cut-out when installing the Alpina front spoiler, at least just not to block the front cooling ducts?

Yeah i thought about that, originally i would have painted it black so it looked as if the holes were there to cool the braking but just left it as it is.. i did see it the other day thinking im gonna paint it under there but i dont think ill cut it out.. once its painted black there it will look better!! as previous car did..

Well sounds good, i know the facelift E30 has a duct on each side pointing direct to the braking system from the front valance and quiet long to reach, ill find out and get a pair and if it looks well enough i may just get the grinder out and cut the holes to the relevant size for good fitment and some silicone....
