Hate to think of the economy from my 200SX when I had a heavy right foot ! Lucky to get 200 miles out of a tank !!

Re: Chavved Up 166?

Now that is hideous!! Why do that to a thing of beauty! Unbelievable. I rather see alfas crushed than let people do that to them. Look at the first picture, the car actually looks sad!

The normal 'pre-face lift' 166's always look sad in my opinion, but, to take away the badge and the grill, then make it look like its melting...


A crime against nature!

Re: Chavved Up 166?

Witha change of wheels, Black callipers and remove the tints it would be a nice car I reckon, maybe even keep the wheels. Tints make it look like a drug dealers cars

jeez that silver one should be taken away and put out of its misery, and the owner given a life ban from owning an alfa.
