They are supersprint, and I think they are amazing, perfect fit ....and the headers are great as well.
i think they are manufactured in Italy

Best regards

had the seats redone, with new fabric, and new alpina logos on the backrest....these were the hardest to get. Alpina had either recaro ( later) or scheel seats, and the scheel seats, had an alpina plaque on the back rest, both of mine were broken in half .

took the car to the AC place to have it installed again, this car, was raced a bit by the previous owner, so everything that was non esential, was removed seat belts , AC, tools, spare, jack, speakers, radio, interior lights etc. ... big holes for the rear shocks were made ( so they were easily accesible ( of course, had to repair those.

I had to drive it to the AC place without a winshield and the rear glass, and let me tell you it was AMAZING ...I want to have a car like that, I felt what racing in the 60´s must have felt like.

I´m currently thinking of or ruining another car, and taking the windshield off, and making it into kind of a race car tribute ...what do you guys think?, here is a photo of the car I have, that was going to get restores, but now I´m considering ruining...also maybe make ito an electric car ( please dont hate me )
