Alpina content - and "what front valence is this?"

[bc419]

I recently picked up this beauty. It has a bunch of cool Alpina parts on it - side skirts, rear spoiler, rear lower valence, steering wheel, shift knob.

The front bumper cover/valence is a mystery to me.

I have not been able to find another front valence as this on the innerwebs.

Anyone?

curious what the experts will say, but I don't think the front/rear bumpers and skirts are Alpina. Cant see a good shot of the wing.

neat car!

those are definitely not Alpina. I'd suspect Pfeba/Foha.

^ I'm with Kronus on this one. Looks like Foha to me

Thanks for the quick responses! Looks like you are correct on the sides and rear valence - that they are Pfeba. The front is close, but it’s not Pfeba though.

you sure?

you sure?

side note- whats the deal on the chrome fenders? was that a factory option or an aftermarket thing? I've only seen it on early m10 cars and euros usually...

Pretty sure it's an aftermarket part I also had them on my car long ago removed.

Might be Zender.

It's quite possible the previous owner (of mine) had it modified. The 2 are so close, but there are a few subtle differences. Here is a side-by-side shot of mine & the example shown.

That is the difference between early-early and early-late valences.

Ahhh... that would explain it. Production date on mine is 10/84.

Crazy little differences in regards to early-early & early-late!

I like how in the earlier years of cars, they just said, "fuck it." and attached it with a grabber-screw.
