i keep looking at the front and thinking it just looks off/odd

I think the problem is - its a Slab of colour with lights and black lump

you need something to break it up a little

hell even a sporting grill i think would make you look more at it then thinking whats missing

Like the CC bump strips - but i'd be worried some numpty Bumps them and ruins the nice view on the side

And i dislike not having a rear wiper - i quiet like to see what behind me
So a no im affraid on the rear as well

The interior i like! However, knowing what a leather steering wheel in winter is like - surly leather seats are going to be cold as hell in winter, 3rd degree burn in summer?

I do know what you mean about the front bumper but I quite like it

As far as I know no-one else has ever done it, don't know if thats a good or bad thing!

Yeah true but I can always respray the bumpstrips if necessary. Oh the vision out the back is perfectly fine for me, I clean the car every week or so

You're right about the seats! But they look and feel too.good to care

Thanks Eddie!

Haa, I've seen your car on puntomk2 actually

Ashjj · Apr 8, 2013

Im likeing the car. The front bumper is interesting ive not seen someone do this on a Mk2b before and ive had similar thoughts.

Why did you decide to go with the Mk2a rear boot rather than just smoothing the Mk2b boot and getting rid of the wipper badge and lock on that?

Overall though looking good and keep up the experimental and interesting work.

wrightyy · Apr 8, 2013

Yeah I don't think anyone else has got a smoothed 2b bumper so I thought it'd be something different

I wanted to get rid of the 2 reflectors on my old boot, smoothing a mk2 was just the easiest option

Ashjj · Apr 8, 2013

That is fair enough im thinking about smoothing my boot and keeping the bootlid refectors but not found to many that have done it and have the sporting bumper aswell to see what it looks like.

Very nice!

The Alfa interior looks fantastic, was it much trouble to fit?

The front seats are a straightforward swap but the rear bench takes alot of work to get in! No bolt holes, brackets or clips etc line-up with the fiat setup so they had to be fully rebuild to fit. Worth it in my opinion tho as they are so much better than the standard ones and I got the seats very cheap :thumbup: plus did all the work myself

wrightyy · Apr 9, 2013

Look what I parked next to in Tesco

Ashjj · Apr 10, 2013

That awsome it is quite funny when you park next to a standard it's when you really do notice the changes that you have made.

wrightyy · Apr 12, 2013

Just found some pictures of the brackets that I designed and machined for the Alfa seats

wrightyy · Apr 14, 2013

Fitted my 50mm springs on the front yesterday, only a small difference but it looks much better to me

I'll be taking some pictures tomorrow

wrightyy · Apr 15, 2013

Just a few pictures of my car with the 50mm springs on the front

Not a major fan of lowering (having had my neck rebuilt...) -- but this looks really neat...!
