finally managed to get my new car on Saturday.
had been looking at a few different options, an alfa GTV (Batty's V6 imparticular, but funds just wouldnt stretch to it ) or a twinny, or a 156 of some guise, or another Bravo.. this is my third one now, all 3 have been the same colour and modified in some way shape or form
for me it does everything i need, seats myself, missus and lil'un comfortably, reasonable boot space, looks nice and then theres the engine. not the quickest thing in the world, or the most powerful, but it does me rather nicely. oh, and it makes a rather nice noise too... 2.0 20v 5 cylinder with an induction kit, and a powerflow exhaust system (will be replaced by a Ragazzon soonish) oh and it was nice and easy on the wallet too. i know the last 2 of the 3 owners and know that shes been looked after, hence i did not mind the modifications as such, where as normally i would only hunt out a standard car
the cars for a few other mod's aswell, 17" alloys (not to my liking, but they have plenty of tread so will stick for a while until i find something less chav and also lighter!) lowered 55mm on FK suspension, Abarth factory option front bumper (pretty rare) stupid square No plate... and alfa 147 door handles (original bravo ones perish as they are coated in rubber)
few little changes to my liking in the pipe line as said, alloys, exhaust, and i will also be replacing the headlights with Marea polly elipticals for a much better light output, and also replacing the wing mirror base plates as they have corroded and i have a set in the shed painted gloss black.
a few pics
and with this one i was messing around with the sun position trying to get some nice effects, i think it works, but is maybe a tad to harsh..?
made a couple of changes, now got a normal front number plate, gloss base plates on, simple sounds for the mo and miss matched wheels after a blow out!
