wow this interior is a hot topic!

well men and boys, the decision has been made for me, i'm keeping the leather. the main reason is that the junk i bought off ebay is in crap condition, definately not good enough to use unless i replace half of it :mad:

the seller offered to let me return it, but the cost to return will mean i only get £10 back, so i think i'll bin it instead to make sure someone else doesnt end up buying it.

the retard sent it on a pallet in a huge pile. almost every plastic panel is scratched and has chunks taken out of it. every seat except the passenger front seat has sratches and clicks.

this guy has been added to my list, he's not far away from me either so i think revenge will be swiftly delivered in my own special way. :devil:

Nice!!! It looks great! I can see now that I wasn't here ofr a long time! In my country people say something like "Best luck" with the car! I hope it will serve you good! Nice interior! The leather...great! I always liked Alfa's, when you buy it you get a sports car and a familly car! Well, in you case, you just want a sports car. :) Really nice car!
 
thanks amir :)

the ICE is almost finished.

headunit is the very sexy alpine CDA9855R. it does everything you could ever want. the parabolic equalizer provides hours of fun and the crossover is the best i've ever owned.

i've always preferred pioneer to alpine because i find the alpines a pain in the arse to use, this one is noexception with stupid menus and a touch sensitive bar to navigate menus makes things even more difficult, but i've gotten used to it and learnt to accept that i cant adjust things while i'm driving.

all 4 doors now have their own tweeter, mid and passive crossover thanks to 2 pairs of infinity 6510cs components (90wRMS).

so that leaves the amp and sub left to buy and fit. i'm thinking alpine for both but i really dont know yet.

Nice one (y) , Infinity are some of the best ive heard. I got them in all 4 corners in my Punto and sound good. Infinity subs are good too but I would agree getting alpine as it will match the HU better.

you talking about 'Catlow77'? hes the B*stard who tried to rip me off with a set of Alfa 145 alloys with BALD tyres for £200!
i got a set from someone else for half that with amazing tyres and mint condition!

wouldnt buy anything off him. ever.

Hi jug, there comes a solution - why don't you keep the leather but... paint the body black or burgundy red? How does that sound?

And as the black set is concerned, don't bin it - just sell for very little money, being frank about their condition.
 
a respray costs too much, it would be better to buy another 156 in a different colour.

i like this blue colour :yum:

you're right about the interior, i'm going to repair and clean it as best i can and then sell it to get some of my money back, if i can get £45 i'll be happy.
 
Respray was just a silly idea.

Would the interior fit a brava or marea (except for door trims of course)? That would be the hell of an upgrade!
 
i've seen pics of the 156 interior fitted in a bravo (on fiatboo) but the back seat looked out of place because it was too big. alfa 147 seats would be easier to fit.
 
went for a picnic last weekend at hamsterly forest. couldnt resist taking a couple of pics.

just an amp to get now. a 6 channel alpine if i get what i want, a 2 channel infinity if i get impatient.
 
That's V nice, like the interior even if some think it looks like a tarts palace:p Not sure I like the enormous spoiler on the back, looks like someone's put a picnic table across the boot lid. I prefer the look of the Sportwagon, the saloon looks nearly as good.(y)
 
it was 2 months ago, last of the summer sun.

i didnt take bikes because i wasnt planning on going there, i just went for a drive and ended up there. its alfa syndrome, you go to the corner shop for a pint of milk and end up on some great B roads returning home several hours later, happens every time :D
