Looks AWSOME. Well done that man. Love the wheels, I wish I went for theses rather than the 18" turbines. Keep up the good work.

I like the rear bumper and exhaust, the rest is poop though! It looks like a corsa b with all that kit on.

18" wheels on a mito look daft too. They looked too big on my GT and they look stupid on such a small car imho.

Errm that will rattle all the QV and Sportiva owners then....

Yeap! Work at motor village on lombard roundabout. Park my car on the main road

Gotcha. I even turned around to take another peek. It's a real head turner. Unfortunately I was not in mine (stupid work van)

Ahh klkl forgot about them

Good outfit, not sure If I like the fact they have Jeep and Chrysler there now. It's lost it exclusiveness of Aston Martin and Alfa!!

Pfft tell me about it, were the same here. there a pile of scrap! Hate working on them... Unfortunately fiat now own chrysler and jeep. And since MV is owned by fiat, the croydon branch became the 1st to have all 4 brands under 1 roof

Would you see amy problems with servicing a re-mapped mito?

Not that i know of, but never done 1 before. Only thing needed it to reset service light and a general check over... Just keep it on the downlow, cause im sure warrenty would take kindly to it...

I don't care about the warranty. It's more that the map will not get wiped?

As far as im aware the only way to wipe the map for the tuning company to do so? Once it on theres no going back? Unless you get a new ecu. Could be wrong though. Dont no to much about engine tuning (ecu re-mapping)

Unfortunately not, according to the mapping company an ECU update will delete the map!

Really wow! I need to do some studying... Theres always ecu downloads available, mainly to fix stop start issues. To play it safe i would pesonally just make a note on the job-card/tell the service adviser NOT to carry out any reprogrames...

I think It has something to do with a full ecu update. It completely updates the ecu with a totally new programme and not just update the bits.

Ok good idea. So are you open on Saturdays?

Can only assume the baffles are bent out to redirect the gases aroun the rest of the exhaust..
So got my Leaver bar and hamer out and some round pipeing, 10 mins later and this is how its looks.
Unfortunatly after bolting it all back up and started the car there was hardly any sound diffrence! Even under load :rant:
Oh well back to the drawing board....

How many miles has this car done?

Here's the video guys. Only revved up to 3 1/2 rpm. Didn't want to annoy the neighbours... Sounds a lot louder and deeper in real life. 1st rev up is with flap closed and gases just going though silencer. 2nd rev up is with bypass flap open and gases exiting before silencer. And the rattling noise is when the flap in exhaust moves... Stupid Chinese engineering, get what you pay for I guess...

Replaced 3way toggle switch provided with genuine lumbar support and heated seat switch which is from a Punto Evo

I like what you have done with most of the car, but, what the heck have you done to the exhaust?
It sounds like a circa 1940's war time diesel!!!!

This is not the way to treat an Alfa. Stand down my man and put she back. There's a reason why the exhaust on 99% of cars is at the back...
