Q: Difference between Alpineweiss and Alpineweiss II

[turbospeeder]

I need a hood, my car is 89 alpinewhite ii. And I found a alpinewhite i hood near me. Do they have a big difference? Like very easy to tell?

Thanks

Alpine 1 is a little more yellow/offwhite IIRC

would it be really bad if i put a alpine1 hood on my 89 alpine 2 e30?

It is noticable. The PO of my E21, which is Alpineweiss I, tried to touch up some spots with Alpine II touch-up paint. If the sun is out it is really apparent.

touch-up paint seems to always stick out a little in my experience, even if it is OEM stuff. Not to say AW1 and AW2 are not noticeably different but maybe not as much as touch-up paint.

I am in the same boat. I need AW2 fenders and am tempted to get some AW1's.

Thanks guys.
I went to some auto wreck places today, and I found the color difference is not super huge, but those cars were put outdoor for a long time, i'm not sure how it will be like when a aw1 part is on a aw2 car. I will keep looking for a aw2 hood tho.

my hood and fenders are different alpines, only visible in florescent light (in garage). I didn't notice it when I bought it in plain daylight. I agree that touch up paint would be pretty obvious.

my vert is alpine 2 and im ~66% sure the coupe trunk lid i put on it is Alpine 1 (came off an 87 is) and i cannot see a difference.

I have heard from some people that alpine 2 has clearcoat, but to me thats absolute ballocks.

Alpine II, uh, clearly has clearcoat. Your bollocks are wrong.
