I bought some Samco hoses which my Mrs is gettin me for Christmas. I am also hoping that there is a 3 series service manual to open on Christmas morning, to add to my expanding collection of E30 porn. winkeye

Have to agree with you there mate. If i had a C2 it would have to have full Alpina dressage ala yours and simon's.

Very eagle eyed lol!

My car isn't a C2 but if i had one i would prefer it with the alpina kit not a tech 2 kit.

This is not to say i dont like tech 2 cars with an alpina front spoiler, as i will have soon.

Identity crisis? Well i like Alpina stuff and i'm not getting rid of my sport so its a compromise.

Basicly an "ALPINA 3" styling package that was available from the dealer my car was sold from.
