    Pictures of Alpinas with just the ALPINA on the spoiler?

    Someone posted a picture of a group of Alpina cars with just the Alpina lettering on the spoiler but it was offset. Anyone know where they are?

    I have the decal on the way and am tring to decide whether to center it or offset it.

    All the pics on Alpina's sites just show the full deco set. I know it was optional.

    Ryan,

    I have never seen a picture of one with it offset like that. Centered and striped (on the spoiler) is the classic way to go.

        You should buy a ton of li'l skull decals -- that way you can stick one on every time you take out a squirrel on the highway or in the twisties :D ....

        I really do like the airdam - lucky bastard 8)

          That is why I need to hurry up and get a RyanG splitter. To both support the dam and to cleanly cut anything I hit. :twisted:

          I have already scraped once but the road was covered with so much gunk that it just kinda slid over the gunk with no damage. Gotta hurry though, maybe ask for that as a b-day present.

            Hahaha - nice!!

            You should do like I want to do - buy a big piece of aluminum and make the splitter yourself - you could even sharpen up the edge in true roadkiller fashion!!

              You guys are harsh to those poor little critters all they want to do is gather up nuts for the season.

              Speaking which that Geico commercial where the two squirrels run the car off the road was kinda funny the first few times i saw it. :P

                  I like the offset decal. Very understated and classy-looking.

                  That... is mint. :) You should find the font that Alpina uses and make a sticker on the other side of the air dam that says, "Rodents downed:"

                    You joke but im afraid of things at speed. I have a friend who has taken out a few with his M at the expense of that little honeycomb stuff.

                    I have taken out an owl and a cat with my truck, thankfully those truck valances are pretty stiff.

                      Yeah - only a damn chick would dodge li'l animals like that.

                      There was a woman killed just recently, near where I am, who was swerving to avoid a chipmunk and drove herself into a tree. Good riddance, I say.

                      Last thing I want is someone dodging a gecko and sideswiping me....

                        Ryan,

                        When I get my spoiler, I think I am going to stick with the stripes. But I have to admit that it looks good that way too.

                          Ryan,
                          The car looks awesome. Just curious where did you get your new decal, and is it part of a complete Deko set? I have been thinking about adding the spoiler decal to my car as it wasnt supplied with the Deko striping when new. Cant wait to see the new pics.

                            You can gt just the decal for like $30, you can get the front spoiler set for $160, or you can buy the whole kit for $540.

                            KSK is who sells them.

                              Ryan ,
                              Thanks I figured it was KSK I order all my Alpina specific parts through them, they seem to be good people. I was just curious because I have seen others elsewhere likely not authentic but much less and I wondered what the quality of these are. P.S. how much clearance does your spoiler have? Mine has like 3 inches thus I removed it and install it for special events.
                              Thanks, Sean
