What mods?

What "subtle" mods do you think my car could benefit from?

Remap would be the obvious one, anything else?

Wayn0r · 14 Mar 2007 at 19:37

lower it, tint the windows.

edit: engine wise, as you said remap, probably induction kit plus maybe an exhaust but i know nothing about your car so i dont know what they are like standard.

Apart from lowering it as waynor has said i believe nothing can be done to make this alfa anymore prettier than it already is

How much does it weigh?

Yep, it's pretty near to perfect

Thanks for the positive comments, can't really lower due to the way our driveway slopes down. I can ground both the Alfa and the mx5 as they currently are!

Will tints not make it look utter tosh? Can someone shop them so I can see what it would look like?

Liposuction?

Better power to weight ratio,non?

Looks really good as it is mate, perhaps dual rear exhausts, looks like it has a blanking plate on the other side of the bumper?

Something makes me feel it would look better with a front splitter (black plastic one, not some stupid body coloured bodykit style chav one). Just a small one like on the front of my car. Just "finishes off" the front end IMO.

Tinted windows and lowered a bit, other than that its gorgeous and needs nothing doing.

I "think" it's supposed to have one! When I caught the front on the way down the drive I had a look under and there is a channel for one. Will have a search for one and see whether there is one available. There aren't any speed bumps on my normal routes so nothing too bad to worry about, can also back into the drive to save the front end!

Think the V6 runs dual exhausts, this being the mighty 1.9 diesel doesn't need it I suppose!

A mate had some subtle smoked brown tints on his 147 which looked fantastic. Would work well on that.

As Paradigm suggests, some sort of splitter would give it a more agressive nose.

A remap will work wonders too. http://www.e-maps.co.uk/products/Alfa+Romeo/GT/

Makes sense. It looks like mine did without one, almost like its not quite finished (mine fell off).

Something like this:

Chrome/Silver grill would look nice.

Firestar_3x · 14 Mar 2007 at 22:00

Agreed on the front splitter thats deffo a good call!
