pribably the worst mod you could do to a Z4 let alone an Alpina!! Awful

My GF who likes cars but isn't 'into them' as such and doesn't tend to comment simply pointed at the headlight covers on the red Alpina and asked 'Why?!' No answer could be given.

I like the plate though

I think the eyelids disrupted the airflow over the car and that's why she stuck to 40mph all the way round

I never saw this and now understand what all the fuss is about... not something I'd do, but its their car, up to them really...

My view was she was blind and being led by a fast Labrador. No owner with any taste and eyesight would fit those !

What was that yellow ribbon tied to some Z3's all about? Around their wing mirrors...

Their version of Taz's badges. How to spot your fellow forumites. I preferred our badges

A bit daft - aren't yellow ribbons supposed to indicate your support for servicemen/women abroad in a conflict? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_ribbon)

A bit poncy as well IMO if it was just intended to identify fellow Forum members.

...and also a bit pointless identifying cars, as their owners were likely wandering around. They should have wrapped the ribbon around their necks!

Ill browse all the photo's later when not at work, but looks like a great day....

we have stickers for the cars and badges for members

Some of them had number plate covers with their forum name on to identify the car to the owner. I thought that was over the top, but a lot of people I spoke to liked the idea...
