      My only critique, is the white fog blanks and ducts. I think they'd look so much better satin black. Plasti Dip works well in case you agree.

      It took me forever, but I agree with you on the white fog blanks/ducts, and finally painted them when I put on the Alpina valance decals.


      Luis, you brought this up from the dead so I figured I better put a few updated pics. Alpina valance decals, cloisonne roundels, rear debadge, euro rear panel, MHW style tails. More interior work coming soon...

          One with a little post-PS touchup from the BBQ at Brody's (and my new fav pic).


          Getting started on the interior again. (Like the huge crack in the dash?, new dash coming.....sometime...)


          Teaser as to what's coming soon after I get the damn spacers b/c I have an airbag wheel.

            I believe its as simple as adding a 5mm washer in there. I could be wrong though.

            Very nice car, love the cardinal interior!

                          vvery niceee. i'd do some spacers to bring the wheels out to the fenders, but other than that the car is perfect. Can you put iS sideskirts on a sedan?

                            Sweet ride. Those Alpina parts are very pricy. Good luck looking for Alpina parts.

                              Thanks for the compliments. It's still a work in progress with a lot left to do both inside and out.

                              I totally agree that the tall front valance makes the rest of the car beg for side skirts/rear apron, but from what I've read Alpina only did side skirts on very few early e30s, and I've yet to see even a picture. Even if it did exist, I can't imagine finding them. From the Alpina register forum, I've seen a bunch of aftermarket skirts used from iS sideskirts (which can fit a sedan), Rieger, Mtech, etc... , but I've yet to see one that appears to "match" because they're still much shorter. In fact, the best "matching" (in terms of style/height) side skirt that I've seen was actually a Taurus skirt. I can't find the pic, but there was a DS one with Alpina valance and Taurus side skirt that looked better than it sounds. Regardless, I'm working on another option b/c I just can't bring myself to put Taurus skirts on.

                              I think I'm done for the most part. Not looking to make an exact replica, but more my take on the whole more power/luxury Alpina theme. Still debating on putting on the side deko decals.

                                Took forever to find a set of cardinal sport seats in good shape, and in fact I'm cheating by using two very good condition passenger seats, but no more comfort seats or mismatched cardinal/taurusrot front seats.
