Another Lupo near my work (a TDI too) - I'm sure there was a green one in the same place a few days before

My boss is always trying to catch me out on my car knowledge when Fairmont get new stock in. He sent me this and asked me to name the blue car. IMG-20240304-WA0006.thumb.jpg.fbea328557f3ddd0d4b475a874c22c91.jpg

Borgward Isabella Coupe obviously.

Along with a clean E30. Shame it's a Baur

A similar colour but much less tidy, yet somehow very appealing 5 series outside Halfords

That body kit is horrid, it just make the small wheels look even smaller. It would look so much better without the kit.

And a Figaro. I like these, I forget they're old in their own right now

They're as old as the cars they were trying to emulate when they were built. 30 years old now.

I probably would have thought the same in the 80s or 90s but now it looks era correct at least - I expect it's been on the car pretty much forever. 

I wouldn't fit one now, but I probably wouldn't remove it either...

I don't think it has been on that long. It is not Alpina, BBS, Kamei or Zender.

It looks to be a Pfeba

Full body kit for late model E28 Pfeba cars – ClassicEuroParts
