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,

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😎
