156 2.5 V6

Lick New girl on the scrounge ;-)

Found this forum by accident, just bought a 2.5 V6 156 but need a spoiler for it and was hoping for some advice or may be some one breaking a car possibly...bit concerned that if i do get one whether the spray job will be good enough. Car's black, really don't want to ruin it. I live in devon so if any one can help, that would be fantastic!

Quick introduction, i'm gemma, i'm 27 and have always had a soft spot for italians. My first car was an Arna, ok, not true italian as had slight nissan cherry influence but anyway...then got a 147 cloverleaf. Beautiful car but really struggled to keep it running, serious head gasket problems, so then i am ashamed to say i went german (golf GTTDi) but i'm now back in an alfa. Bit of a shocker on fuel prices but well worth it!!

Thats enough for now, its saturday and i should be in a pub already!

Re: New girl on the scrounge ;-)

Thanks, feel very welcomed. Planning on cleaning him tomorrow so will add some photos then. Definitely needs the spoiler though. Found a couple on ebay but they're in Poland, not sure how well they'd travel.

Re: New girl on the scrounge ;-)

Welcome aboard Gem, nice choice on the 156 V6 front, I'm hoping you went with the 6 speed manual?

I had one a while back and rather foolishly sold it so am in the market for another one at the mo.

Yeah, post some pics up and let us take a look-a-see!

Good choice though, how many people have you raced against so far and beaten?

You've let me down on the picture front though,
Take 'em whenever you get a chance.

I'm supposed to be viewing a 166 Super next weekend so hopefully will be able to join everyone back in the Alfa fold.

Re: New girl on the scrounge ;-)

Hi Gem,
I'm in devon also, are you looking for a low spoiler or a high rise one? If you need help with the painting of it then give me a shout!
