it's immaculate. 33 years old, and immaculate!! do you store it in a garage? the paint work looks lovely too, can tell you take care of the car. how long have you owned it for?

I'm not sure on the angel eyes, half of me really likes them, the other half isn't sure. either way, lovely example.

ok
First of all, thanks!

I 've owned the car since its first day (ok, it wasn't me exactly, but it has always beloged to my family: Grandfather bought it, and the car was almost exclusively driven by my mother...later it came to me)

The angel eyes have been very recently added. Sure of them neither am I, but I like the fresh look of the car (I store the old singles, and the grilles, just in case...). I bought them from Jimi (ALPINA)

In any case, I dare to say (I am open to any objection, though) that all my customization changes on the car so far, are done with some care not to change the car VERY much from the original look, but a little, just to give it a fresher look (for example: the Recaros are not original BMW E21 ones. Also, the alloys are 2006 design, but at least they are 21-spoke, somehow not going very far away from the Alpina style-of course no comparison-and there are some replicas waiting also..!)

Looks great. I really like the unusual colour.

well, Mark it was repainted actually... (about 12 years ago)
I don't know whether its similar to the original topasbraun metallic, or the guy added his artistic opinion without asking anyone...

Looks stunning m8!

Have you kept the original kidney grill? It looks like a later one thats all. The 77 kidney is a tad slimmer.

Nice interior/exterior colour combo, topasbraun looks similar to the kastanien rot (chestnut red) on my new car.

...and yes, pistoheader, I do store it in a garage (of course greek weather is also helpful)
