Still a lovley car ALPINAs are too underated.
i do think though you should put a quaiffe lsd on, like Tone has, it'll transform the traction and drive you get.

I considered the grills for a LONG time, but now that its done, I'm sure I've done the right thing (for me I mean, lots of other people I'm sure would prefer chrome). I actually think it looks more aggressive in the flesh with the black grills. Then after changing the grills to black, the mesh needed to be done, as the grey mesh then looked all wrong.
Quaife LSD would be turn it into a monster, but a few things put me off right now;
- The cost (£1800 ish I think)
- Possible damage to the drive train from the engine throwing 430lb/ft at it without protection (this was brought up by the guys at DMS when discussing an LSD)
- The fact that I don't drive on the edge very often
- Extra tyre wear, although I hear this is negligible
- Less room for driver error! I'm not that experienced

They do take some time to clean - but worth it I always feel (afterwards anyway!). Was wondering whether the new black B7 Alpina wheels might appear in 19"s instead of 20"s...

Any ideas?
