facelift Alpina color scheme

[zaq123]

Alright, I'm getting back on track with my e30 restoration. The paint stage of the project and the unicorn status of proper Alpina rear spoiler kept me on hold for awhile. The car will be getting high quality single stage paint just like it was from the factory.
I'm still debating on the color scheme for this alpinweiss II Alpina tribute. Everywhere I've looked, the original painted facelift Alpina had black bumper cover instead of color matched like on any other stock E30.
Yea or Nay? Black or color matched white as on the regular e30? What do you guys think?


E30 facelift Alpina pictures where bumpers were clearly painted black regardless of paint code.





Here is restored or tribute jobs in white with white bumpers. Too much white in the front with that giant white snow plow for the valance?

My vote is body color. On the darker blues and greens the black bumpers kind of disappear. On a white car, the contrast of the grills and bumper trim strips is just right with body color bumpers.

I like both. On my silver H35 I’m blk bumpers. I would say body color.
