Sounds good get some pics up and welcome

Work in progress. I know it's not everyones cup of tea & some might think I have ruined a good car but I like car modifications. The trickier the better! I love the 156 shape & the Brera too, so I combined them.

Hi Steve and welcome
would love to see it in the flesh when youve finished

Thanx for the warm welcome guys.

There is something so special about the 156. It's a beautiful body shape, lush interior. The Brera face lift has added to my excitement. The rear will be tricky, bringing the arches out 40mm per side & blending it back into the rear doors. It's lowered to the max on coilover. Front handles are going too! Then, it's getting super straight bodywork, multiple blocking & double clear coating. Finally it will be sanded & polished to perfection!

Sorry guys for the long reply, I just love this car!

Hey, put an entry in the main introduce yourself thread, but figured I might as well do it here too!

Just bought a 156 2.5 V6 SP3 (1998) in silver with red leather. I'll upload some pics soon. I work in computer forensics

Had a Jetta 1.8, Golf mk2, Mazda 6 Sport and now my Alfa!

Hey Rob, wanderedoff and Charlie, welcome

[bigmacnchips]

Hi I'm Dave. Got a deposit down on a Phase 2 GTV TS (Silver with the red leather that narrowly avoids looking like something out of Pimp my Ride to manage Alfa awesomeness!) which I'm picking up on Sunday with a bit of luck I grew up in SE Kent but now live in Nottingham - looks like there are a few of us here.

When I have the new car will look forward to the next East Midlands meet

[FoxRacer]

Hey Dave, welcome!

I also have the silver/red leather combo....I think very few cars can get away with it, and it almost certainly has to be an Italian one
