Looking for Alpina e9 front airdam that fits

[guanshee]

I had purchased an Alpina e9 airdam from coupe king but it doesn't fit properly on my 1973 e9. I was told by the body shop that it couldn't be bolted on and would require work to make it fit as a permanently fixed unit.

Do let me know if anyone can help.

I can help, but not until I have 5 orders.
If you wish, PM.
Regards,
Alberto

Always happy with the quality of zaprace bits although shipping stateside would be the killer

Good luck. I have an original alpina front airdam I bought new in Germany and the fitment is also rubbish.

Thanks but I'm looking for the Alpina version.

@guanshee - Not sure if you will find one that just bolts on. They all seem to need some massaging to get them right. If you aren't handy, you might have to pay a body shop to do it for you. It took me hours and hours of trimming, mounting, trimming, mounting, trimming and mounting to get my e24 style air dam right, then I had to pay a body shop to paint it.

I found this while looking for E3 airdams. Perhaps one of our European colleagues knows this vendor on eBay (Poland)?

Parts must to be prepared and trial fitted to the car before painting.

Thanks for the info. I do have the airdam with a body shop but they have recommended modifying it as a permanent piece and not a bolt on which is not what I want. So for now I'm holding off putting it on until I have a better solution.

Classic Euro Parts have OEM Alpina spoilers. They sent me one that I received in perfect condition... Total cost was around $2000 USD

Can you confirm that this is a perfect fit bolt on as I've been hearing that all aftermarket airdams require modification?

Not mine Vince. 100% perfect fit or double your money back!
Clearly, mine are not Alpina variants.
All that have bought on from us, not 1 had issues

Love well made stuff, the only way.
I had many experiences with latrine quality stuff, that we have corrected, remade , moulded, and BINGO!

Kind regards,
Alberto

Alberto send pics and how much as I need one?

Vince, @sfdon has one in Albany.
I seriously doubt I will have a replacement one in the Bay Area for quite a time...
Seize the moment, call him and he will give you his honest opinion.

Thanks but I'm looking for the Alpina version.

Alberto is the new Alpina.

Alberto is the new Alpina.

Thank you for the kind words...

Not quite Alpina, but very nice and great fit.
