louvered bonets alpina style

Never heard of the company but the louvred bonnet topic has come up a few times before. Have a look here: http://www.8er.org/forum/showt…6&highlight=alpina+bonnet
Also, in the German section, you could try and contact Engl - he's made some bonnets, I don't know if he has any left. Quality is supposed to be good, I haven't seen an example myself.
Cheers
PS, I can help you with German if you need or Google Translate is your friend -
Some of the workmanship looks a bit crude - wouldn't want them operating on my babe - could end up looking like Pamela A. in the bad old days!

Chavtastic Tony! -
The black 8 in the top picture seems to have mirrors with built-in indicators; do we know what mirrors these are?
-
the bonet + the mirrors were produced by 8harry8's friend Thomas

Yup, Thomas = Thomas Engl (see my post earlier up), Thomas makes a number of goodies for the 8 -
The black car ist the car from Thomas (Engl).
Here are some parts of the Engl collection: -
The Quality looks 1st class, any Idea of the cost for a bonnet?
-
I wish that those bonnets could be shipped to L.A.
-
yep, much better quality than 'cool louvres' - I particularly like the bonnet strut in pic. 6 made to look like a flute of sparkling wine!!.........
-
I have a spare bonet, if they respond to my emails and the price is ok I will have it done. the bonet is in need of repair anyway
-
Look what I got....
Am I pleased? oh yes!
Went to visit Thomas Engl in Germany yesterday to get this fitted, I'm very pleased with the results. -
wow wow wow wow, looks great, how many euro?

I spoke to cool louvres about 6 months ago , I sent them pics of an Alpina bonnet The centre vent they did not have a clue about even with the picture in their possesion. I felt they weren't fabricators but someone who could cut a hole and put a plastic grille insert in the bonnet.
I eventually tried Ged at Sytners but they need a chassis no before an order can be accepted, and we did not even get to price.
Then I tried Thomas Engl but when I tried he didnt do the centre Vent or it was just a communication error between us , I did get some good feedback about his work.
Steve P then spoke of a guy he knew , I didnt hear what happened and time was getting on as my car was being restored, so I went conservative with the standard bonnet but I do intend to progress the Thomas Engl route if I get the time.
Seeing Thomas black bonnet from above , it looks that his two sets of 7 holes are more slots cut out rather than louvres , I think DickB has one of Thomas's bonnets
I would love to hear if you find out any more
