First car I have actaully favored the chrome kidneys on in forever.

The Alpina's look great!!

The black bumpers on Alpine look amazing!!

The interior looks awesome!!

But, the lights look horrible, sorry..

Thanks

I think its just the rings that make it look bad. Will take them out and see.

Really? Maybe its just the headlights messing up the front end. Anyway, if it dont look good i will just swop in a new set of grills.

im glad you kept the alpina wheels.

Yeah, me too. I would still like to test fit the bbs reps though.

Anyone think i should colour match my bumpers?

Oh... Almost forgot...

Added a set of sport seats to my interior... I think the cloth is called "Uberkaro" or something like that... This cloth came standard from factory on our South African special 325is's...

Welcome to the Plad sport seat club:mrgreen:. mine are gray. Looks great but ditch the angel eyes.

ESM gets them from Lenso, all ESM does is put their caps on them. Same with their other wheels.

Hey guys... Picked up a set of gold BBS RS reps... 16" 7.5j ET25...

Contemplating if i should use 10mm spacers in front and 20mm spacers in the rear...

Dont know how it would look though... Im sure i would have to role/pull my fenders?

Here's a pic...



What do you guys think... They are very similar to the ESM Reps... Its branded as Lenso BSX here in South Africa...

Wish i could get my hands on a real set of BBS... Very hard to come by in these parts... Will look around... I might just strike gold...lol

Thanks elsabor67

I really think i should get rid of the angel eyes to.

[Shaheenem]

Ok guys... Just a bit of an update...

I removed the leather dash from my car in favour of a dash i had repaired...





Also fitted xenon's...



Then i finally got around to fitting my bbs reps... Dont mind the valence and half done shadowline trim... Car will be going in soon for a complete respray...

Looking good, you've done some great work there! I would lose the rings though and I much prefer the uniqueness of the genuine Alpinas on the car, (if you still have them) Well done regardless

[Alpina]

Nice

[ILoveMPower]

Nice looking car man, I think I prefer the Alpinas but the reps look great too. The rings in the lights have got to go though!
