Black touring...freashly chaved

[fuzzy]

black on black.

[SUMPCRACKER]

This is e30 zone not redtube.

[e30topless]

it's looking good shame you didn't stick with the Hartge theme

my tourer is an Alpina Look a-likey type thing
not sure if you know already but if you want to fit the Alpina front spoiler they sit really low !!
so be careful how much you lower it...
with the recent weather I found out why they are known as/called a snowplough, and mine is at standard height

[SUMPCRACKER]

If I go with the black theme I will buy propper lenses and grille (and smoked side repeaters)

[SUMPCRACKER]

I think its lowerd 40 or 50mm,I dont like the arch gap at the front but have left it this high so I can fit the Alpina spoiler, had I gone with the Hartge theme I would have got the wheels level with the arches.
Yours looks realy nice by the way.

[e30topless]

thanks but there's lots to do yet
I was looking for a black tourer but didn't have any luck finding one, this is lazer blue which should look nice with the gold alpina decals I have
where did you get the badges from ?

[SUMPCRACKER]

All my Hartge/alpina bits have come from e30s I had many years ago...this is the first for about 7yrs!
I like lazer blue, its not such an obvious color as black. I had an E28 in blue with gold alpina stripes - it looked the nuts!!

Thinking about stripes on mine...silver?

[e30topless]

I think either silver or gold on black will look awesome

[SUMPCRACKER]

That is funny ,the second pic I have spent hours looking at in the alpina pic gallery and is why I want to stripe mine!!

[SUMPCRACKER]

So any more ideas on the front,anyone favour standard?

I like the IS set-up as an alternative to the alpina spoiler
here's a few of my other e30's to compare

[spook]

Excellent thread, good work Mr Sumpcracker, the touring looks a lot better now

[parkin10]

liking it
alpina may be more common but the car looks right nice one

[SUMPCRACKER]

Cheers topless,
I think ive sourced an Alpina front skirt now. I did think about an IS one but ive had one of those stolen before and the Alpina one bolts on.

Thanks Spook.

The front one is a "M" badge with the M cut off and a wide dark blue (to cover the red)stripe next to the original light blue one

[SUMPCRACKER]

Not too sure about fitting C2 2.7 badges,may just go with Alpina scripts on the boot and grille.
It seems a bit over badged when its a 2.5.

[SUMPCRACKER]

I hope to be fitting the Alpina spoiler and a gold stripe kit over the next couple of weeks,so it should look a bit like this but with 17" wheels.

sh!t maybe i'll have to go Gold on my touring i was planning silver but that looks great in that shot as i've got the smoked hellas fitted too

when you collecting this spoiler? You should come to Ace meet end of the month and pick it up!

[SUMPCRACKER]

Yes,im planning to collect it at the ace (that was arranged with Barry),dont think i will be in the touring though, as im doing rear bushes, underseal,ect...

Those gold stripes look the nuts dont they. I too was gonna go with silver untill I saw that.
It has the hard German look that all Alpinas should.

[dips346]

my old one with gold stripes

[powelly]

Black on gold is such a great combination, the Lotus F1 cars of the seventies were black and gold, very

[SUMPCRACKER]

Dips,
I saw that on your build thread,looks so cool.
A guy on here is selling a Tec-2 kit for a touring. I was thinking about it but I cant be arsed to paint it.

[SUMPCRACKER]

Im now looking for a set of standard rear lights..
