Ziggy... funnily enough, I just picked up a 'rado interior for my latest Mk2! Not got front seats spare though... I'm after some rear door cards from a Corrado for some modifications.

Not got any door-cards knocking around at mine at the moment either (unless you want some for a 4-door that I have spare for free), but there's a full interior (including door-cards I think) for sale for only £65 on the GolfGti forum here:

and he's in Coventry, so you won't have to come into the snowy North too much for it!

A 325i can be looked on as a blank canvious to alter in any way you want and normally end up making look like a sport because you want to aspire to have "sport" on your log book.

A 325i Sport is something you look to keep alive as it's rusting under the factory fitted kit and has had a good pre war thrashing but it's still a sport and you feel superiour than all other e30 owners , untill an M3 drives past and you realise less ( 4 pots ) is defiantly more.

An M3 is something to be porud and gloat about for those sunny days on smooth road surfaces so not to chip that multipul grand pain job you had done and when a grey cloud appears 16,000 miles away you quickly in a BTTC fashion drive back to the garage too be washed , polished , dried by the hairs from a unicorn and put under cover for another 3 bloody months untill another sunny day appears.


So the point of my post? Buy a Alpina as quck as you can before Barry or Simon buy it and fragg it :D winkeye

Personally it's not about speed. It's about the effortless driving experience.

There's nothing wrong with a standard 4 pot nor a 325SE, but don't have a go at the sports as we only know to well when you see one deep down you know you want one.

Hate the game not the player fools!

FACT! A Sport will ALWAYS comanda a premiun despite what all you non sport owners cry about.

This has been done to death and its threads like this that are begining to make the zone sound like a stuck record!

LSD from a dealer is £800 to £1200.

Sports are better. You cannot build a decent sport replica for less money than the genuine article. Not to a decent quality anyway.
