Alpina stripes on non Alpina car..

Post Thu Apr 13, 2006 9:02 pm

I know the answer before asking, but I have a 2.7 with M3 suspension (5stud)wheels etc, Alpina front spoiler, just bought Alpina steering wheel,

I think the Alpina graphics on the frontspoiler and side stripes would look good.

Does anybody have pics of the side stripes fitted to a car, ??

even though I think its wrong, I think they would finish the car off well..

What does averyone think of a fake car, even if it does look nice.

A car is only a fake if your are trying to convince people its something its not.

Where can you buy these Alpina striping kits from?

I want a set in silver (or even white if silver is not available) to go on my diamond black touring.

Someone must make them, don't want to get any from a dealer as they will be a rip off.

replicas are more expensive............authentic replicas are best....eheheheh

fake is something that isnt as convincing as a replica.....

I had the vents done by cutting out a pannel with the louvres in them and then getting them welded in place,then smoothed in and painted.They came off an old machine tool panel.
