    Vlad, I'm heavily considering that Alpina rep front airdam, but I have some questions about it.

    What's the fitment like, and did it require quite a bit of work to get it to fit right? If so, was it major reshaping, or just some fudging here and there? I'm pretty capable of carrying out any modifications that would be needed, just need to know the scope of them. Also, how did you guys mount it?
    it's total crap, fits like shit, major reshaping ..... I've proly put 4-5 hours into it and the fog lights and brake vents still don't fit, the front of the airdam was more wavy than the pacific ocean and it doesn't fit flush under the bumper :down:

      Well, if anyone could give me the lowdown, I figured it would be you. Thanks for the info, saved me some cash.

        where is your shop located anyways? I have seen that red vw cab for sale right by the new rim store on springfield ave/sherwin williams/meineke, whose car is that anyways? When can I start supplying you all with parts at meet it or beat it prices from my parts dept! The more you buy the more I end up shelling back out to you for work done to my car :-)

            Good shit. I wish I had the liquid money to just have someone do my body work/paint for me. It would have been done long ago.

              it's in Maplewood, 2 blocks down from the rim store on springfield ave where you saw the red VW Cabrio, it was there to get a detailing. I'll PM you the exact address.
