new SS exhaust, (simple twin circle tailpipe)
smoked indicators
new boot seal, new rear light seals

new sunroof motor, as this one isn't working
respray the driver side wing mirror as this ones starting to bubble
get rid of a little bit of rust on the scuttle panel

In pics 3 and 11 I blurred out the background slightly to bring the attention to the car. Other than that all I did was adjust the brightness, contrast, levels and white balance slightly
As for Polish, its whatever the local Polish guys at the car wash use, I think its AutoGlym

Tidy ride fella, looks like some hours of elbow grease there! People seem to slate alpina reps, but they suit the car well. Not everyone has 1500 to spend on a set, let alone find a decent set,so why not?Keep up the good work
I know what you mean about the Alpinas I was looking at getting a set in til I found out the price, I have what seemed to be Alpina reps on mine but they have PCW centrecaps might just change that though.
Nice motor you got there!!!!!

You may have mentioned it somewhere, but what year is she?
