wonderful my dear watkins....... headlining in!
By far one of the most challenging jobs so far and another massive step in the right direction as it opens the doors to lots of parts to be re fitted!
It's hard to get a good shot but here we go, cream sh!t replaced by the black rightness!



I'm chuffed as i doubt i could do it any better second time round and really pleased with the result
Whilst i was on a roll out came the opening rear quarters from hibernation!



Best zone old style zone stickers on of course, i put these on when the car was still being driven which seems an age


And a nice toolkit of ProjectE30 off the zone to finish off todays work for 40 sheets. Cheaper than buying new or seperately me thinks bit of new foam thrown in for good measure


Here's how she looks now incase any have forgotten!

Looking good mate, looking good!

Nice project, quick question, i just bought a C1 2.3 and it has the full kit on it, but the front bib has two air ducts in it, did yours before hand?
Simons car is a facelift car and had a facelift front spoiler.Returnof318i wrote:Nice project, quick question, i just bought a C1 2.3 and it has the full kit on it, but the front bib has two air ducts in it, did yours before hand?
Your car is a prefacelift and there were two types of prefacelift alpia front spoiler.
Yours is type 137
The other prefacelift font spoiler is type 147 and is deeper and doesn't have brake cooling ducts.
The facelift front spoiler is type 157.
