Well done! Car looks great, nice stance. Alpina front suits the body colour well.

I like the look of the fog lights too, never liked it before. Must be the combination of everything that makes it look good.

Nice transofmation ... this is totally my idea of how an e21 should look .. a bit lower ... alpina or bbs 15 inch wheels and a nice era correct spoiler front and/or back
