Has any member done an Alpina B5 bodykit? i picked up the rear spoiler from KSK on Clearance and before I drop 900 on front lip i want to see if anyone has done it and can post pics. I have seen the B5s online but they are always blue. I wanted to see how it would look on a black car.

Thanks

the front is nice, but the back looks too busy.

Thanks for the pics, DK! I've since popped some racemesh grilles into that bumper - mostly did it for the functionality of preventing objects from flying into the air inlets, but the look is actually great too.

I love the Alpina front. The sides that come with it are OEM M-tech sides (I have them on as well, see pics below), so get those NOT from KSK to save some cash. As for the rear, I am actually "undecided" on an m-tech rear - planning to get wheels first, do the drop and then see if I wanna change the rear at all. I know m-tech rear on an Alpina-kitted car is probably not "accurate", but looks-wise, I think it will do the job of looking great. Or not... see what I mean by "undecided"?

As for fitment and all that - Alpina is THE best I've ever dealt with. The body shop that installed it for me did a slightly sloppy job, but that's probably bc I bought the front already painted. If they had to paint it, they would've prepped it better and it would've come out almost OEM-looking. And it does look OEM anyway - has that "did it come from the factory like that?" look

Need I say I love Alpina products?

GL, OP!

Here're a few recent iPhone pics:

That looks like a cheap imitation IMHO. And Alpina installs over the original bumper as well. Comparing this to Alpina is like comparing cast wheels to forged - there's no comparison, just the price difference. Kid
