That's a nice looking car, why don't you pick up the genuine 16" Alpina wheels from the for sale section? Much better than the fakes, they are shocking quality and they don't look much better!
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Looks like an early sports pack, or whatever they were called, nice :D

Why the full respray? As above, id rather roll on bottle tops than burger kings!

The car is a very solid shell. Came from south Africa some 10yrs ago. Its a 5 speed with recaro seats, rear head rest, aircon, sunroof.
As for the respray the previous owner (lady) used touch up pennon quite a few places

Cool looking motor, I do like dechromed prefacelifts.

Again, don't bother with 17" Alpina reps, shocking wheels, build quality and ride quality they give.

Try and keep it original because there are none left now. A repsray sounds like a big waste of money. Money is better spent on replacing worn out parts and rust prevention.
