Sooooooooooo frustrating knowing it's there waiting for you but you can't have it, isn't it!

Wow, I like those wheels. What size are they and what are they called?

16"? I didn't think they did 16"s.

Fancy a brand new set of 17"s for £200? I can do you a good deal with tyres as well

Sorry, it's a company car so no can do.

Ah well, it was worth an ask. Anyone else, fancy a full size spare wheel or need your 17"s refurbing? I'll sell the rims separately for £60 a piece, or all 4 for £200, these are brand new don't forget

Anyone with 18" or 19" wheels fancy a set for winter? Keep your big wheels looking good for the summer?

I should be a salesman

I don't want any wheels but can you get me a leather jacket and a DVD player?

I found out today my 2.4 Lusso is scheduled for build in week 25 (Commencing June 16th) and I should have it for the end of July. That is of course, if the lazy, workshy Italians don't go on strike again! I've solved my unpainted wingmirror problem too; the Ti 'satin chrome' covers are only £18 + VAT each - a hell of a lot cheaper than getting some sprayed up. Please don't think of me as a Ti wannabe... although I am!

Can SOMEBODY buy these wheels please cos otherwise I am sorely tempted to buy the set and I havent even got the car yet!

Yet another missed delivery deadline , they're now sayin Mon or tues.

the laatest brilliant exscuse was the delivery lorry set off with several vehicles on but they didn't know which dealers they were going to first and they couldn't contact the driver

so if anyone fancies some nice shiny new motors, he must be parked up in a layby somewhere !

Like you I am not a Ti wannabe although I would love one...I believe I will have the unpainted wingmirrors as I went for solid black, the Ti covers sound like a good idea, I realy don't think I can live with unpainted mirrors. Mine is a company car if it was mine I would have them painted however I have got to live with it for 3 years so 18 quid sounds like a good deal. Where have you got that price from? Are they just covers? Does the dealer need to fit them or are they DIY?

The quote is from the main dealer. Mine's a company car too and I wouldn't mind spending the money on getting them painted if it was my own. I'm sure the dealer will fit them for you as they are essentially just replacement covers. As far as I know, the standard ones are 'clipped' on so you should be able to do it yourself if needs be.

All this talk about wheels - 16", 17", 18", 19". I was following one of these the other day - just look at the rims on that...

Just 24 hours to go now...

Lucky barsteward Mine is apparently in limbo, somewhere near the end of the PDI process but not close enough to get any idea of the delivery date

Mine's due next week!

Alfa 159 Lusso, 1.9 JTDm
Black with Red Leather
18" alloys.

Just been told mine is being held up in PDI because someone at the factory forgot to put the alloy center caps, the radio aerial and the manuals in the car! Apparently they usually put them in a bag which is left in the boot, but mine was missing This now means they have to order a replacement bag from Italy. On the plus side, Whitequay have offered to lend me a car to bridge the gap between the sale of my 156 and the arrival of my Ti which they expect to be in the first week of June
