Well done 3.5ish thousand miles in her all ready (Y) , and yeah she has not stayed standard ish ..

Bmc Air filter
Led lights fitted almost all round , including Cree led Reverse light
2x conti sport 5 tyres for the front
front wind deflectors

with more to come :)
 
Do you wish me to put you on the " May need towing " Register ? :)
haha thanks mate ,, hopefully not , think the 500 would stuggle a little this time

just needs some springs like mine had to finish it and make it look meaner now ;)

NO BLU IT IS STAYING STANDARD (y) untill i have a snapped spring

One sexy ass car. I nearly bought one of these instead of my E90 3 Series but it was f***ed. Looked like it had been lived in by a family of gyppo's.

chris i can honestly say it is a car that is worth a look in , my brother has a e46 320d , and the alfa looks 100x better and drives alot better , but the Bm has a better boot space , i got mine for a steal of a price , and never looked back at the next show were both at mate you can happly go for a drive in it and see what you think of them


Also just had the Grill wrapped today

Very tasteful. When we were looking for a replacement for the 156 we thought about one of those but there weren't many around in the Alfa dealer system and I wasn't keen on buying one without the right history so we got the Giulietta MA instead.

Still got the 156 though. Took it for a drive down to Sandbach today to have the brakes looked at by Alfie at Heath Road Garage. The rear brake line had corroded and as it's a metal pipe and a pain in the backside to replace as it goes over the petrol tank he just replaced a section. 2 hours labour for £50. Not bad I'd say.

Next job is to replace the rear pads and discs as they're getting pretty badly scored.

The 159 is a good looking car anyway, but in SW version it's a diamond, especially in black.

you should mate , been my best car to date , over 600 miles at the weekend , and it felt as if i had done 5 , apart from th fuel guage of course , imo its one of the best looking estates on the road , looks o mean sitting on the 19"s , deffo best car on my street for the looks

don't want them rear top mounts then i presume lol. caught the splitter on anything yet? Guessing you need to be extra careful with kerbs now lol

errm :bang: blu73 yes i do , ill drop you a message and sort payment out , as ill be changing them when i do the dampers (Y)

errm yes i broke the splitter before i lowerd it :( got sent to do a job with work and went in the alf , drove in the guys yard and caught the splitter it was a little bit of gravel road , and it broke 2 chunks out of it :( but its not hardly notiable but its getting fixed by angelos dad (y) hes a master of the fiber glass
i go noo were near the curbs when it was stardrd hight , drove down my estate , and caught on most of the speedbumps ;(
