Yeah will do bud, I want to wrap the fins in the bumper gloss black too and maybe the wing mirrors not sure, going for the Rosso and gloss black 4c look I will ill get some better pics from further away too. the white leather sounds very nice 😎 And rare 👍 I think on the ph1 centre console gloss black would look fantastic, the little key tray would like nice in gloss black too, might have a go wrapping my key tray see how it turns out. Yep hids vs leds....... looks wise the leds win as a lovely crisp white, however looks and the vision with the hids are the overall best for me. Having both I would recommend the hids as light upgrades.

Rosso spider update. Hi Hobson soz for the late reply, had the aux belt tensioner fail resulting in loosing the aux belt on the m1, no power steering and battery light on so nothing running the alternator so rather than risk destroying the powerstearing pump I got recover home. The rac guys said these spiders used to look stunning in their day! I think he was paying a compliment as he had a good look around the car but not sure what he meant🙄 I got the car home and the follow day had a new aux belt and tensioner delivered and was back up and running two days later 👍 The tensioner was faulty as it was only a year old, done when the cambelt was done. Fooked!! While the car was out of action I decided to fit some led lights I bought as recommended on alfaowners, my gtv v6 is running on hids and are great except that purple blue chav colour for the first five mins when you switch the car on, then they go a nice bright white and are a huge improvement vision wise and look great. Anyway I bought these as only £17.99 and I was bored of the yellow oe look so I fitted these and they are a lovely white light. however I haven't noticed any real improvement in vision at night. Mans finally a bit more vinyl wrapping. Hobson the ph1 centre console would be hard to wrap, but with practise it could be done. The bottom console would be straight forward however the top console would be hard, just around the heater controls I imagining would be difficult and maybe have to use inlays. Still it would look great 👍 I have done my window surround and grill in gloss black. The vinyl heated around the edges of the grill ok but had to use two inlays on the upper inside as not enough material on the inside to stretch around including the corners. I painted the grill gloss black as well and fitted a new badge😎 Not it the best pics as it threw it down with ran not long after, Window surround Grill What I like about the vinyl wrap is if you get bored you just heat it up and peel it off. I'm going for a black n red look over the winter eventually wrapping the hardtop once I'm more skilled at it and probably fit the grey darker wheels😎

Good luck.

Looks awesome>! Good to see some more sydney-siders

Nice 916! Welcome!

Stunning colour and epic photos Thanks for sharing.

Hi, sorry for the delay. Thank you, it's an honor to be compared to them. But honestly I think it's still a few steps below. One reason is the wheels. Unfortunately I can't mount wheels larger than 17". In Italy is the maximum allowed on 916, and spacers are also illegal. With 18" or 19" it would be much more beautiful. Although I think that, for road handling 17" is the best choice. The rear spoiler I do not like very much, without thinking it's more elegant. But it is possible that in the future I will change my mind. : D p.s. your black is awesome. Still about the wheels, looking at the photos, is it better for you with the GTA or with these phase3 ones? I have some doubt about it, I think it's a bit better with the Gta, they looks a bit more bigger and more "Alfa". Although the phase3 are very beautiful and as you said they do a lot Ferrari style. The next step will be decat + ecu mapping. It will be done by a professional in my area who works with dyno. I was thinking of raising the turbo pressure to 1.0/1.1 bar steady and 1.3 in overboost, so to have on 225 / 230 hp and 320Nm. With these values and pressures it should remain reliable, the engine has about 68,000km. I add some photos of the refurbishment. Thank yuoi alexx230.
