Mate, that is LUSH!!!! What a nice job and super quick turn around too!! You gotta be pleased with that.
I see what you mean about the front grill, but it can't take much to sort that surely.
Really like this car.

this looks amazing....and what quick work!
sorry to clutter your thread mate, but if you need any alpina decals such as the green tyre pressure sticker, paintcode stickers, engine bay...etc etc or perhaps a set of proper sytner nottingham plates like those in the original article, drop me a pm

She is looking Alright.... Really happy with all the work done so far, Andy has done a cracking job. If anyone needs some paint work done, especially if its old or something he can get his teeth into give him a call... I think he found my car a little tame to work on, as it was pretty straight forward and not much body work.... well apart from the roof.... But i do still have a long way to go....
I will be dropping you another line Pukar, about the wheel logo's (already spoken about) and all the other stickers. but as you can imagine the pocket has taken a little bit of a dent.
I have got a few electric issues to sort out and then exhaust, at which point i will go back to the cosmetics.
ah

I don't think so, I am going to keep it pretty low key.
But I have just got hold of some Recaro hi backs, which I am thinking of retriming them in alpina cloth. But then I will have to do the back seats to match.
First electric's, the exhaust. Then hit the interior hard to finish it all off.
