The Alpina sticker i think keep, i like it. The light brow i don't think you should go dark, instead make the kidney grill white, head and fog lights smoked and get shot of the amber indicators, cars nice tho mate

i'm not sure about the fog's, you must be able to buy them, as for smoking the rest theres a artical on here for the headlights (do it your self style) and get a can of rear light tint for a tenner and spray all your indicators. I did all mine, rear light included, smoked headlights are on the way
sort me out another couple of pics to chop, the white kidney would be different

your light brows are slightly off the colour of your car, may just be the light but making them match and your kidney grill would go well, imo only of course.


as for the headlight tinting, no you only spray parts of the inside, no glass, here's the artical

fog lights, not sure may only be able to be bought, think i will take them to bits first see what i can do first

Seeing as you're just painting bits which can be repainted, why not try the different ideas for real for a week each or so? They'll all look different in the flesh and you might find one of the options grows on you.
I'll ignore my own advice though to suggest you lose the eyebrows, as they look best on Golfs, go for clear indicators at the front and a matt black kidney grille. Keep the Alpina script and open up the vents in the valance. Just my two pennorth, feel free to ignore.

paint the grill black and leave the eyebrows white or try taking them off and see how they look. on some E30's they just dont look right, i like them personally, but thats only on my black car?! they dont look bad on your E30 either. but black grills all the way mate
and please please please dont put an m-tech 2 rear bumper on your beautiful convertible... it will look absolutely awful! i LOVE the tech 1 kit so much, i think the lines are far better than the tech 2 kit. if you get cliffy to send you some photos of the rear of his, you'll see just how nice the tech 2 kit really is. your cabby is fabulous and a tech 1 bumper will finish it off
oh, and lose the alpina logog!!
