Search Results for ‘subtle’

For a while now I have been thinking to protect the front wheel arches from stones and dirt flicking up and causing more paint chips and surface rust. But the mud flaps on the market are expensive and far too big. I didn’t want something that would spoil the look of the car, after all the Brera...

Finally managed to get rid of the hateful intake rubber clips, even with the correct tool I found them awkward to clamp together again I did not want standard stainless steel jubilee clips and after a bit of searching managed to find some high quality ones that are anodised matt black -...

Hi Im looking to modernise the GT a little - like a light brush from the Alfa God of design. so far no exterior mods, except for lowered stance due to OZ 18' Supperturisimo GT's Suspension - Intrax coil overs. Now some subtle mods to the exterior - the car is metalic dark blue with silver...

Wondering what you guys think are 159 quirks, things the car does that you questioned at one point and would be recognised by other owners, (and which are not an 'issue' like the inner edge tyre wear) mine would start with: The clutch is heavier the first press after a long motorway journey. A...

I thought I might throw a few images of some of the changes I have made to my JTS engine bay to counteract a few common problems. To start with here is an image of the whole engine bay to help make the close up images make sense. One common problem that results in missing, drops in throttle...

Hey - just noticed recently when i'm driving esp. quietly that you can just about hear a ticking noise.. popped the bonnet, and was louder, but not sure if it's always been like that and I'm just being paranoid or something. I do remember making a comment when I bought it (nearly a year ago)...

Alfa 156 2.0 Selespeed (2001) 110k emits a fairly quiet, high-pitched whistling squeak which you can only hear under 40mph with the window down when turning right and/or when applying the brakes. Same thing? Seems to come from the drivers os side. Instinct tells me it's the bearing but why would...

The only thing I never really liked on my Bella. The back lights..! Too red for my taste. I never thought Silver and red "looked" quite right. So, I got these from Fly Eyes Kit vehicle headlamp and tail light tinting film. Easiest half hour I ever spent. They went on an absolute doddle. Just...

Hello, i'm looking for an affordable and subtle sporty body kit for my facelift 156. Subtlety really is the word here as i just want something to make my 156 JTD to look a little more sporty. I like the low profile spoilers you get on some models, not the big hoop spoilers. Anyone know...

I thought we could have a light hearted game of subtle details you have spotted on your 166, either pre or facelift model. We might discover details we have never noticed before! I will start with one I spotted yesterday: Have a look at the headlamps on the pre facelift 166, there is a tiny...

But, if anyone is after an OMP brace but not at their prices, you could do a lot worse than this fella ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alfa-Romeo-147-Strut-Brace-OMP-Nearly-new_W0QQitemZ160093538978QQihZ006QQcategoryZ10370QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I am still missing that car, but not the...

Chaps, I would be grateful for some advice if poosible on a change that I would like to do. My steering wheel is the older style, if I could get hold of one from a new 166 is it easily interchangable? Please let me know if its possible and I'll start the search.
