Topic: Alpina Decals Posted: 08-December-2003 at 10:58 |
Dear Members
Can anyone inform me were to get Alpina decals apart from the main dealers.I need the boot badges and also the grill badge. I have booked the car in to get the front painted (becuase of stone chips) Its an E30 and I want to make it a replica.
The car is already the correct colour e.g. its blue but when the light shines on it it turns purple. Any ideas on what model to make it. I have been told a B3 but I noticed a C2 in my local Autotrader.
Any help would be appreciated.
I know ive asked before but any ideas on images and were to view the differnt model E30 Alpinas

There is a company called Cooks Ferry in Enfield, Middlesex that can supply the badges to you. Be warned though, the boot badges are something like £70 each and its the same again for the front grille. If they get pinched your in trouble.........
Dont forget you'll need the genuine 16" rims and badges which aren't cheap.........

There are quite a few Alpina, Schnitzer, Racing Dynamics and M power badges and emblems on ebay.co.uk
They are of course copies. But knowing how easily these are knicked off beemers, is it worth paying out for originals?

When you add up the cost of badges, decals, spoilers, wheels, steering wheel and gearknob, your replica will cost you alot of money and you would probably have a genuine Alpina for the same money.
Unless insurance is mega money, you should look into a genuine Alpina, but they are not cheap to maintain.

The Alpina C2 was a 210bhp 2.7litre, are you sure you wanna embarrass yourself putting that badge on your car?!?!?!?
Genuine rimz are expensive and badges will cost you upwards of £40!!
