Hey guys.. I'm going thru a US importer of Alpina parts to purchase a Aplina rear decklid spoiler..& I started thinking about getting a Alpina Front spoiler instead of another "IS" lip.

Guys: What's your thoughts on this option.. 8) Do it OR don't Do it?
I am lowered 1.5. Sachs Sporting Set suspension kit.
My car is in the shop awaiting parts, etc before it under goes a 5-6 month restoration :D
The Aplina Front may help add to the slight "makeover"

I'll just go for it..not that other's opinions won't sway my decision (they may but I highly doubt it)
I'm just worried about "warping" or any other storage issue that may occur for an item sitting in storage for 19-20 years..

We'll see were I'm at restoration-wise in terms of my budget.
I feel as if I'll regret it if I don't get it.
In the USA it would look very unique done up this way with Alpina front, rear decklid spoiler, combined with ACS rear valence/skirt and ACS side skirts. Should look stellar 8) .

This importer I'm going thru is highly regarded and is extra premium with every thing. products/pricing/packaging, etc. The shipment will come in a wooden crate. :mad: Not something I'd be used to receiving!
I'm not one for scraping or cracking spoilers off cars..but it did happen once (On a un-suspecting construction zone dip (not crack) in the road, which stressed my "IS" lip causing the paint to flake/chip off)
Key is driving normally in city streets..and driving much more spirited on the highway, interstate or turnpike. :idea: :!:
