\Not the best quality but gives you guys a good idea of what it looks like now, not very convinced with the alpina rear spoiler though, think im going to go with an M tech 1 spoiler

Now that is what you call nice, the Alpina blue makes this car, glad you stuck to your guns with the colour, it has certainly paid off. Well done.

Thanks for all the positive comments, im glad I did stick with the colour scheme, more glad I did everything myself though! tyre sizes are 205/45/16 not strictly correct but a nice profile and a nice width,
loving the idea of recreating that picture! haha

I got a text off Barry telling me about what has been done with my old Alpina. The car looks totally stunning and I am really pleased you stuck to your promise that you would give it the treatment and restoration it really deserved.
I would have never been able to achieve this type of restoration in a million years and genuinely pleased for you and the car, that it's in much better hands than it was in the 3 years I had it.
I would love to get a chance to see the car in the flesh and gets some pics to show my old man, as he will be totally made up about it being restored to a quality you have achieved.
TBH Barry was very flattering about what you done to her in the last 2 years you've had her, so I knew it was going to be a really amazing job.
Regards,
Felix / Dan

If you hadn't blown all that cash buying, then blowing up and then rebuilding the P1 scooby you could have done it (or had it done)

I'd keep it Polaris and add the stripes to maintain originality. I'm a sucker for OEM cars though.
