There seems to be a thread like this for every car here except the Giulietta (unless the autoguide app search is that useless!). As the title suggests...what have you done? Perhaps something that's not worth a whole new thread, a quick question or comment!

I got my Giulietta delivered this morning! Silver veloce, 140 2.0jtdm, already updated B&M to v8.0, debating a spider tuning box. Its a company car ( inherited it with 37k on it), so limited to my options.

Thankfully Gilbletts , the Giulietta is not at the phase where it needs something doing every day!
Individual posts seem to cover what some people are up to. I was planning to put the 16" wheels on mine for the winter to preserve the 18s but it's raining heavily at the moment...

Well I've cleaned the interior of my car today but I think I need better fabric seat cleaner. I'm using a diluted Autoglym interior cleaner, which is great for everything plastic, rubber, glass and even leather. But I don't think its that great for the fabric seats. What would you recommend for cleaning the seats and keeping them looking new?

Just use the same upholstery cleaner you would for the house

Had to Hoover the car at 0650 this morning before I started work. Had a little accident on route to work. Ohh the joys of lone working on a Sunday morning!! By the way can anyone help me, my G is 4 years old every year in winter I have the same issues of condensation build up on the inside of the windscreen an back window. When the temp drops way below zero the moisture freezes. Can't think of what to do I use the climate control as I was advised before a while back, aparently it drys the moisture in the car, a collegue advised me a tube of salt to suck up the moisture still don't work. Does anyone else have the same problem an what has anyone done to try and solve it. And please people don't suggest rubbing an onion on the screen!!

Driven it 190 miles from Kirkby Stephen to Leicester, passed 3 other G's and no other Alfas, allowed my wife to drive it for the first time, and unpacked the newly delivered (and shockingly poor quality compared to the 159) genuine Alfa boot liner.

I'd like to do this but AR original one is £400 and this one at £202 which is a fairer price is for twin exhausts out, so it doesn't fit my needs, anyone found a reasonably prices lower diffuser that's ready to fit?

Cadamuro Rear Diffuser under Bumper Spoiler with Duplex Exhaust Outlets (Alfa Giulietta) / www.gazzellaracing.com

Just as an FYI for anyone considering using Gazzellaracing, read this thread http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/general-alfa-discussion/298749-urgent-gazzella-racing.html or Google them before ordering anything ;)

I've used Gazzella three times.

On each occasion Raggazzon have given me a 15% discount code to quote to Chris which has made a very good saving and he's honoured it, the only downside is everything is ordered from Italy and on all three occasions it took over two weeks for my parts to arrive..............

I've driven mine to Bristol and back today. Interesting to note on replacement back box a) no discernible impact on mpg b) maybe a little bit quieter c) seems to pull a little bit more cleanly from 1000rpm.
