They are supersprint, and I think they are amazing, perfect fit ....and the headers are great as well.
i think they are manufactured in Italy
Best regards

Re: my Alpina C1 2.3 restoration
had the seats redone, with new fabric, and new alpina logos on the backrest....these were the hardest to get. Alpina had either recaro ( later) or scheel seats, and the scheel seats, had an alpina plaque on the back rest, both of mine were broken in half .

took the car to the AC place to have it installed again, this car, was raced a bit by the previous owner, so everything that was non esential, was removed seat belts , AC, tools, spare, jack, speakers, radio, interior lights etc. ... big holes for the rear shocks were made ( so they were easily accesible ( of course, had to repair those.

I had to drive it to the AC place without a winshield and the rear glass, and let me tell you it was AMAZING ...I want to have a car like that, I felt what racing in the 60´s must have felt like.
I´m currently thinking of or ruining another car, and taking the windshield off, and making it into kind of a race car tribute ...what do you guys think?, here is a photo of the car I have, that was going to get restores, but now I´m considering ruining...also maybe make ito an electric car ( please dont hate me )
