Are you going to be selling the mtech springs you removed? Would be interested if you are. By the way, thats a lovely alpina, had a quick look at it at Aces - lovely!

nice car though. couldnt really have a good look at it the other night. will be bringing the pointed stick with me next time, to check for rust and general issues that andy failed to spot.

bump! had a very good bank holiday working on my 2 hero chariots
I've been transfering all the bits off my old sport on to the pina. Only got the smkoed hella xenons left to put on and my hartge roll bars
What i have done is
H&R 60/40 cupkit springs
smoked indicators and side repeaters
black grill (not too sure on this)
quicksilver exhaust
CD player in and working
sparco Strut brace.
plus the enormous list of little bits i'm slowly getting through
here we go - couple of shots of the interior for Mr billgates!
i'm loving the drop now sits just perfect imo
and a couple of the ever green chugger daily driver! second wash ever!
been busy with this!
fitted all new door locks,boot lock and ignition! finally i can now lock it properly and all on 1 key
Removed the LSD 3.64- this is going in Kos M3 turbo nutter car
Replaced both rear springs, one was snapped
removed haedlamp wash wipe
fitted some alpina stickers on to the instruments!
Could make another alpina rep from all the bits off the proper one! i've got an engine dash plaque and front spoiler! so might so this

That looks sweet!
The rear sits higher than on your sport from memory. It sits alot nicer.
I wonder why this is. Or is it just a visual thing without the Mtec kit??

Thought as much, My dad was in the Army when I was 5 years old! Thats why I asked where it was.......
But the more photo's you take, the more I recognize the place.....Brings back good memory's.
I used to play in them woods on the tank range!

Lookin' good Simon
Did you paint all the calipers red or did they come like that from WLN?
I'm on a 60/40 drop with my cab now and once in a while I know about it when I hear the scrapes from the exhaust
See you at Ace.
