The problem is that there is 0 difference between Alpine and Tiger fenders
hood, bumpers, valance. There are differences in the inner sheetmetal but
not the outside skin.
A true purist would consider a car with a clip replacement to be
significantly less desireable than one with all original metal. But they
are both still Tigers.
