    Alpina front spoiler

    Is it at all possible to get an alpina front spoiler that is designed for the chrome bumper e30s onto one of the later e30s with the plastic bumpers?

    Doubtful it would look decent even if you could.

      Ryan Stewart would get upset.

      and plus, you don't want your car looking like a train, do you?

                The early US bumpers are aluminum. The european ones are chrome.

                  Pretty sure it only fits the chrome type bumper. Have not seen any Alpina cars with the plastic bumpers

                    What does the other one look like?

                    its one solid face across the front with no ridge in the center.

                      That air dam is fitted to plastic bumpers. Isn't that what you wanted?

                          Not realistically. You *could* convert the front but you would need a Euro chrome bumper and a euro EARLY valance. You cant put a chrome bumper in the back, you need the plastic back there.

                          anything can be done but it would involve a lot of work and probably not look right in the end.

                              looks like we might have 2 snow plows on the board. I think ryan would be mad.
