Re: Alfa Owner Multi Region Meet in Penrith
Just look at it in your avatar - its got to have been lowered as you can normally get a full-sized fist under the arches of a 147! It must have different springs, and possibly different shocks as well. No other way you can lower it, besides adding loads of weight into it.

Re: Alfa Owner Multi Region Meet in Penrith
it has the 16" rims on it, were those standard? (I should have looked properly at the other 147 2.0 Lusso there was at Penrith).
If not, what should be the standard shocks or springs (as in height, width etc) so I can measure the ones on mine to let you know?
BTW the dark grey of that 147 (and I dont know whose it was) looked superb

Yours is obviously lower, and looks a lot better for it

Cheers Pud, your right, mine does look lower (and yeah, compared to that link, it does look better, modesty and all that!)

Re: Alfa Owner Multi Region Meet in Penrith
some great photos all round, fortunately the ones showing how bald I have got are not highlighted!
Still love that grey 147 GTA, just looks spot on. Great to see an Alfasud, brings back memories
