Ph2 V6 Q2

Simple gear stick mod

My old gear knob was trashed so I bought a replacement a while back. I've now updated the gearstick with a stainless collar on the length of the gearstick - it all fits securely and makes it look far more meaty. I have a black/silver theme going on inside so it looks good (IMO!.....Be nice!).
After years of not really liking my Ph1 interior I'm now really warming to it. I think the classic Alfa "three dials" are more pronounced on the Ph1 than the Ph2; that said I am no fan of the centre air vents - I do have something in mind for that area though!

For me it depends what colour your interior is in the first place. I found that a black dash with my black leather seats all a bit depressing. Red or white leather gives it a different feel and brings the interior to life. Starting to sound like Laurence Llewelyn Bowen....best get off!

Fully Rebuilt Spider

I panted the centre console in the spider satin black, it works well! Not depressing at all.
The floor mats have proteo piping around the outside of the mat and the gear stick and hand brake gaiter all have proteo stitching. Subtle but effective.
