hi guys, just a quick post as I need to start work, I have recently bought an alpina z4 and love it.
the only thing I want to do for the moment is to change the headlights. I currently have the headlights with the orange indicator strip which I don't like and one of the seals have gone. im looking to get a set of angel eyes with black casing. do bmw make these or will it have to be aftermarker?, has anyone else done this, and will it affect my "smart headlight setting"
the car is black and the alpina on the front splitter is black aswell, although I wanted to change that to white, is this just a sticker? any help would be much appreciated :) thank you

also I never use forums so don't know how to add a picture lol!
 
welcome

plenty of posts, even threads on this - you don't need to go aftermarket either, just source black inners or spray paint

Hi and welcome, what build number is your Alpina?

Tha ALPINA graphic on the front splitter is body colour by default but you can buy vinyl graphics that stick over the embossed letters to change the colour - SPA69 on TheAlpinaRegister supplies some excellent graphics at much less than OEM prices
 
Welcome and great choice of Z!

For the graphics, I've pm'd you Simon's email address to save you registering on yet another forum. Tell him Ade gave you his address :thumbsup:
 
Thanks guys, I'll get the build number when I'm next in her. Had a real busy day. I'll look at those stickers now, there is a pic I found of a German z that I want to try and copy as it's what I had in mind when I first saw mine, let me try get a pic up.
Nope have no idea lol! Can anyone help with this. Sorry proper noob!
 
Mine has the angel eyes, black inners etc - as ranski mentioned there's a whole thread on splitting the headlights (as I did) but you will find an issue in sourcing the clear hockey sticks to replace the existing orange.
