Well I love the coupe "electric blue" or a nice Broom Yellow
But would also like just to respray in same coulor
And maybe some black plus wheels

Hade to replace the front coolant hose as I finally found the cause of the overheating
And my crappy headlights

The headlight was crushing the water hose restricting the water supply
So replaced the coupe hose which is a lot longer with the shorter Bravo hose from my marea 155
Took the car for a long drive and temp never goes above half way and didn't have to touch the fan

always good to discover an issue is something small, cheap and easily fixed and not something really horrific lurking

Nope .............the horrific thing is the Brakes shuddering at any speed and loads of clacking which I found was a snapped caliper bolt which looks like it's seized :'( ...........new brembos then

yikes! When i bought my alfa 159 there was a strange noise at the rear and one of the caliper bolts was nowhere to be seen - and its not like the garage had changed the pads or anything. Shows how much care some dealerships take when checking over one of the 2nd hand cars

Update :

Just sent my stilo blades to be refurbed in anthracite with new wheel centres will look awesome when they come back.
20mm hubcentric spacers also ordered

This month I had just replaced the boos control solenoid while I wait for my Apexi ACVR boost controller to arrive from the USA
Was highly recommended by the guys at FCCUK

Also just bought a rear bumper for my little beast

does this mean there will be some spare 20vt wheels soon??

Yes but they are in terrible condition

Test fit with 20mm spacers

Test with 40mm spacers looks cool but not possible really........proper stance though lol

Well after doing the wheels I found yet another problem with the Bravo

Torn CV boots. :banghead:

Well that 2 new genuine fiat coupe CV boots ordered

And will need new calipers next month
As the bottom bolt had sheared of

Well never though that all my boost trouble were down to a ****ty down pipe

Picked up a decent genuine downpipe from a guy on FCCUK
And refurbed it
Now it boosts consistatly and hold it constantly
Safe to say I'm a happy man

Well quick update :

New CV joints on both front shafts
New wheels
New calipers (fully refurbed) that I pinched from my Marea
New m-tec discs and ferodo ds2500 pads

Looking good that pal, nice to see it went to a good home I thought it would never sell

.

Some shiny new plates for the HGT to wet rid of the old Welsh ones

nice.. I keep thinking i should get some new plates, i hate old looking plates and mine are a bit shabby....

Didn't think two boys of plastic with some letters could cost soo much though

i usually just get plates off ebay for not very much... you do sometimes get crap plates but usually only about £7-8 each so no big loss. I do tend to go for no extras though, so no side pic or border etc.
