Fernando ..car looks just stunning/mouth watering.......better than Alpina's even.

I had heard Korman frt flares need alot of work to fit?...maybe you even said that on your older posts. Im going to try the IE frts......and prolly SCR's metal rears. So you used the FG rears bonded to metal?.....are you happy w/ the results?....Ive been warned by so many to stay away from the FG rears......stress cracking, bonding the 2 materials etc

I recall you are using Panasport wheels.......were they 7's or 8's ....and what offset again?.......Ive been looking at Compomotive ML's.....

what size tire/....?

Your car is my inspiration......

Oh...where is the decal we discussed, do you remember....?.......send it out.......hehhe!!!

Yes, the front fender need a lot of work.... they are not regulars, some pics..

After fit correctly the flares in the chassis, moulds were made for make copies in the future, if i need:

I bought the rear FG flares, from ebay, very nice finish, but i'll keep the rear FG flares in my garage, because i use rear metal flares, inspired in Matt page.. some pics of the rear metal flares

after the first body paint..

after, with some corrections in the metal sheet

I'll use the Panasport 13X7 wheels, +3mm

great info....all questions answered!...thank you...... Any particular reason w/ the flares to not go 8" wide on the wheels?.... what tires are you planning on?.......size?.. My address......and thanks!!!! Joel Kaplan 495 Central Ave ( ste 301) Scarsdale NY 10583

The reason is, because in the vintage racing rules of my country, i can't increase the standard wide of the wheels more of 2" inches, then the max wheel wide admissible is 7". I think use 205/60R13 for racing purposes, the max admissible too.

however, i will increase the front and the rear track with some mods in the front and rear axle. Rear i'll use E21 323i trailing arms, increase the track around of 15mm for each side..

Fernando....I figured it made more sense to post the Alpina pics here rather than the "spacer" thread....I didnt think you'd mind.

here are some .....on one of the pics youll see they ran w/ Minilites.....its actually the first time Ive ever seen them on an Alpina car! Also in another pic you can see what appears to be what Alpina used.. a MOMO Prototipo which is flat!..unlike the proto's of today. If I get enough people/funds together we can get brand new Momos like this........made by Momo.....but not enough people have stepped forward. We would need like 65-90 wheels commited and paid for.

Yes, i bought the new Momo prototipo and ALPINA horn switch, but the wheel it isn't flat.. How much cost you calculate the flat wheels? _________________ BMW 2002 ti BMW 2002 ALPINA Gr. 5 BMW 323i E30

Fernando..........I' ve seen Alpina cars w/ both silver and blk spokes...I like both. Send me an e mail.. where did you source Alpina on rear of car?...and horn button? jrk@jrkchiropractic.com

Date: 5-21-08 02:19 From: alp in Vancouver Subject: Re: My 2002 ALPINA project car, bodywork finished
the silver spoked wheels look very cool. How much are we talking for a flat wheel to be made versus the cost of what you have there?
