Bravo facelift T-Jet Sport 150 in Maranello Red

[LeighJet150]

Very Nice Rob!

Glad you decided to stay with the Bravo! Im guessing you kept some of you old bits and bobs to transfer over?

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh sometime soon!

Looks very tidy! Is the only difference on the facelifts the headlights?

headlights and grille main differences, sure there are some other detail changes

will let you know when I have actually seen and sat in it

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Nice. :slayer:

 

[Big Black Stilo]

i want that lower grill on mine

 

[RobW]

Loving the car, as expected several subte detail improvements including speedo that you can actually read!

Car feels as new, suspension tight and composed handling
Ride noticably stiffer although leather seats contribute to this feeling

Pics and more observations coming

Very nice Rob

Here the new Bravo, second in the family

After a thorough search of available cars this was chosen.
Put a deposit on her today, collecting on Friday

Full review to follow, wil be interesting to compare to my current car

Good choice RobW, I've had my 1.4 T150 approx 18 months and I never tire of driving it.

Didn't drive it yesterday due to poor weather and summer tyres...

Just been to the local town along B roads about an hour combined

Still finding lots of detail changes including interior door handles now anthracite instead of silver
It has an alarm
It has rain sensitive wipers

All together with different wheels, climate control and leather seats adds up to feeling a lot different

Very pleased so far, reminds me of the Star Trek movies when Enterprise has been in for a refit, it's the same ship but looks and feels different and evolved

Can't upload pics by idevice so will follow

The only thing I envy in the newer bravos is the improved blue&me. the old P.O.S blue&me in my car is like a senile grumpy thing with alzheimer's.

Have you tried a software update?
Worked well on the black one

 

[RobW]

I had in mind to do some subtle mods to the new one and have just bought a set of FK Silverline coilovers
like the idea of taking a bit out off the rideheight and playing with the damping

the other thing i have in mind is a Brembo brake upgrade, I recall that Alfa 159 parts will fit

and fit the TMC box of tricks :devil:

 

[Jack21]

Ooh Brembo brake upgrade?? I have the pads and disks but would love the full works!

 

[RobW]

hoping the Stilo kit will fit
had one on my Alfa 156 Sportwagon and worth it just for the looks!

What exactly is the difference? If i remember right the only difference is that the newer ones can play ipods (due to hardware difference) , what version do you have?

All blue and me plays iPods. My early version did until it ripped the system out.

 

[Freebo]

The older version can play ipods but require a blue and me adapter.

Yup i just meant directly without the adapter. I didnt use to bother about it since i had a good old nokia that had a built in fm transmitter . Still doesnt explain the difference however. I find the blue&me absolutely brilliant, though.
