That's interesting, plans for custom side skirts and front bumper too?

I'm the boring type, got a CSi kit that I will have fitted to mine in June (it's in Sweden waiting for me)

No mate just the boot spoiler

Hi Dave

I think at first they tried selling the complete kit?, now it is available separately.

The rear section was intended as a complete rear bumper replacement! but after examining it I was sure that would be detrimental to the cars quality.

So ,having bought it i decided to cut it in Half

Th fit was OK but as with most Glass Fibre parts plenty of trail fitting & blending in is req, I've done what I can so it's down to the profis now

I take it they are metal louvres?, if so dont try welding!!!!!!the whole bonnet distorts so I guess you could bond it with panel adhesive or take it to the body shop who worked on your motor:)

my car was done at koenig, Munich. to far to go just to put slots in the hood.
how about lead or resin? I did a bit of lead welding many years ago.

I know thatI was joshing about , when I was selling my Green 8 a guy from Liverpool area phoned about it, said he had a Red Konig in his shop.

I don't know much about Lead but i guess resin would be good, don't happen to have a pr of vents spare Dave Old mate;-)

stamped vents as far as i know can be no longer than 100mm due to the limitations of the machine used.

ALPINA hoods are carbon fibre over the BMW steel frame.
sorry Steve at the moment I have to say no, but if I get it looking good I will gladly help.
do you want a diagram with dimentions for the vents?

Any Diagram would be most helpfull, I think i'm goina get the buzz saw out again, can you email it or??? let me know please.

Cheers

OMG - that boot spoiler's beautiful, the black, the subtlety of the lines, the organic shape growing seemlessly from the car's lines

The rest of the kit looks too safe, too visually pleasing and not challenging enough to rattle the soul of the onlooker

I'm sorry, but I can't condone the addition any kind of non standard spoilers or body candy. You won't catch me trying to do a DIY spoiler of any kind

Good to see you're back properly Steve - that is doing your own thing. Love it

I think it was Lloyd who asked "what plans have you got for it" I replied "none at all" just going to use it as it was intended??

Such a fricken fibber

There is a guy in the US (on bimerforums) who sel pre made metal louvers, also Thomas Engl has these.
There is also a guy on Bimmerforums in the US that have made a fiberglass Alpina replica.
It's a fiberglass skin bonded to a fiberglass frame.

I will have louvers in my hood some day, just don't know when and how yet.

There is also a guy in Sweden who simply cut louvers into his stock hood with a grinder.

Janne? by any chance, his look Ok but he told me he & a mate welded them in & the heat distorted the Bonnet,.
