It's quite the opposite though, it's probably the only place in the country where fiats and alfas don't go to die, but to be reborn! :pac:

Spent the day yesterday, waxing and scrubbing the car first chance I've had since I got it .







Also whats people opinion on German regs? I've been thinking bout them but I'm not sure. Going looking for BMW reg surrounds today get rid of the garage ones.

I like them on some cars but the fake German tax in the center and D instead of IRL on the side looks sh*t to me. If you like them go for it.

Marty, did you get Gtechniq C4 for the valance?

Yeh im just not sure yet sometimes it can look tacky depending on the car and the reg I might take a good look around and see what regs are available.

I did indeed , sure is expensive for the size of the bottle but if it does last more than a year then be well worth it imo.

German plates will look really good on that car.
Get the pressed ones and put on BMW surrounds. IMO that is the best bmw color (the blue you have on the e90). Eireplates were where I got mine

While I prefer the pressed plate german fonts on BMWs, I think these ones suit it too

Same here. I think they look great. Could do without the screws though.

It's a smiley yoke alright.

ShadowHearth

Finally got one? Gratz, so how it is? Hard to wipe that smile off?

Katunga

nice one Cian

CianRyan

Cheers lads, yep can't stop looking at the thing and smiling.

From what little I've driven it, it feels u real.

Toyotafanboi

fair balls cian she's a nice yoke! say it feels like such a mover after the almera you need to get a lazy eye kit for it imo.

CianRyan

Low profile lazy eye kit is on the (long) list.
The guts of €400 though. :eek:

MetzgerMeister

Jaysus it looks like forest whitaker :eek:

I want a set of these, only about €450 a wheel...
What am I doing to myself?

Rota do a version but I would like to keep it all real.

Rota is not the worse you can get. I got Rota on my mx5 and they work fine. 450eu will get you all 4 rota version of that and there wount be that much of a difference. The rest of 1350eu could go suspension, manifold, exhaust upgrades or start on making your own turbo charger kit.

Hmm, do Rota do a 3 piece version or is it a solid wheel I wonder.
Because I'll definitely be flipping it for dish. :cool:

More of it :rolleyes:
cabb8ge never say I not like Alfa, I say boards.ie folk ott on praise of them.
Need not to have owned alfa to have view on them, but on boards any comment and people asked "have you own one" or other day someone asked "have you motor trade experience" :eek:
silly silly, I work on alfa cars in past for friends, I drive friends Alfa 147 for two month in 2010 as he go home for holiday/family reason. I like alfa but on here the alfa drivers too much bias to them.
they more fun to drive than astra or Passat or avensis, definite. As fwd cars they no near league of best, like FTO or some Honda. 156/147 and mark 1 focus are same same in handling dept. 166 not good handle car, like Passat, normal.
but on here Alfa brilliant, you think not, u own one? No, f*ck off so you have no opinion worth listen to :rolleyes:
but alfa boys on here have opinion on other car without owning and that fine fine

silly silly

You have an addiction to buying white Japanese cars.

No you dont. White is awesome!

Cian, I dont know about the specific Rota wheels you looking for, but I am pretty sure those are one piece. If you do want dip dish stuff, then buy dip dish stuff, instead of buying expensive alloys and then choping them apart. My ones are 7.5 inch, but those are in 8.5 inch too. Even my ones give a nice lip, the 8,5 are even better.

In the end of the day, its your car, but I personally would not spend about 2k eu on wheels on a car that most likely costed same money. I would not even buy 2k eu wheels on subaru, unless I won a lotto.
