I will be getting my alpina sprayed at the end of this summer when i will have a good wad of cash behind me to get it done!

i'm just wondering about the stripes as there a few options i could take

here are a few pic's of black cars i've found

I'm liking Gold tbh down the sides and front, very 80's and the colours go well. The car needs to look proper like the minters in europe do!

Nice shades!

Image

This one is a plain jane black, a B6 3.5!

Image

And a chrome fiend with silver

Image

Or keep as it is with just the front spoiler?

What do we think people! :?

because i'm a silly sausage!

Stuart i've thought of gold wheels, but as u say about the cab it looks damm fine black/gold with silver wheels.

just imagine my car like the cab?!

Gold rims would look very bling also with it all!
U can actually get a gold "Alpina" boot badge instead of the silver, from alpina themselves did u know!



Dan if i can get some cheap stripes i will!!! RD boot badge with pina strips and hartge alloys. Good combo

Failing that, both silver and gold look good on the black!

Though I think I have a slight leaning towards the silver
