I recently saw this little gem going for £100 and had to have it
Needs a few new things (clutch, brakes, diff etc) and a few replacement panels but other than that she's sweet.

Was wondered what tips anyone has on mods and such.

And yes, it does have Alpina badges for some reason.

Bumpers need sorting too.

Looks wise I say:

iS front skirt in matt black to sort of match the tech-i
Colour coded door mirrors
Colour coded bumpers (except the black middle bit)
Get rid of the chrome window trims
Paint the wheel centres black
German plates
And lower it 60/40


Make it so...

If it is he wanted £400 for it then!
