Hi everybody, finally I've got time to show you my Mary: a spider 3.0 V6 24V elegante edition (1 of 241 pieces) When I bought it, the car was already like new, but I spent the past winter to get a proper show room condition! I try to keep it as original as I can... but the tuner that lives in me sometimes push me to change parts! This was the status when I bought it... But then, during winter time, I deeply took care of this beast! Starting from the interior, where some of the trim parts needed "love", some scratches on the plastic and some nail polish in a fancy magenta red on the leather trim... I've also reflocked the open box on the tunnel and revitalized the Momo leather with the original Montecarlo black colour... I've treated the center stack with some liquid wax and got rid of plastic imperfections... The rubber rotaries before and after: Then after a long research I found an original Zender pedal set and an Alfa Corse model... I had no sleep for a week, thinking which model I had to have in the car!... In the end I've opted for the Alfa Corse set, thinking that, after I restored it, the Zender looked too delicate, especially the rubber bubbles! From Zender I bought a brand new shift knob.... that is still waiting for his brother "alu handbrake"! In this photo, you can see the Blaupunkt radio CD, that I'm replacing with an Alfa Romeo old radio cassette! Cool! Also the key deserved a "deep" clean! I used only a spit of Meguiar's compound that, in this case, helps to renew the self painted plastic parts. In the next episode: engine bay!

No I've just retouched the edges where the armrest touches and a bit inside. Only for info, the flock colour is a glossy deep black.

It's a kit from Oxskin... I can't find it anymore on ebay the Montecarlo black for Alfa but you can have a look here: http://www.lederpflege24.com/shop.html Yes I flocked it by myself.... I did a mess in the garage!

For the hard parts I used nanotech polish, compound and then wax. For the soft plastic parts I used meguiars treatment for dashboard and then wd40 to get the matt looking. The scuff was on the frame around the center stack, so that means, if you want to change, you have to unscrew the whole dashboard! So I first got rid of the excess then I used some filler for leather to fill up the scuff. The result is awesome, hard to recognise.

Welcome! Gorgeous black gtv!... How's the feeling with the Q2?
-
Not easy to find it... I will let you know when I find a set.
-
Thanks guys!

Still need to understand why this: Is normal to have a Ford socket for the fog light switch?
-
Welcome aboard! yes, another Alfa/Renault driver!
-
Hi and welcome! Must be wonderful to drive a car in a place where almost nobody else has it or have seen it in flash!
-
yes! although it is hard for me to read it!

Hi everybody, my name is Ivan, I'm italian but I live in Germany since years. I'm a car designer and my passion is... cars, of course! I drive a Megane III coupe', I tuned like a RS replica but it has only a 1.5DCI engine! Just because, to compensate the power, my other one, the beast... or Mary, as you like, is a MY 2002 916 spider 3.0 V6 24V Edizione Elegante 1 of 241 pieces, with Zender package (spoiler, sideskirts, silencer and Siena 18") plus she's got lower Eibach suspensions, Alfaholics decat, Ragazzon straight pipe and some little things that I will explain later. I've bought the car last year with only 79.000 km, and I've got a season number plate that allows me to drive only during summer. I choose this club because its very well done, so professional and full of contents. I can say that cause I am also a moderator for an italian Megane club. So I'm proud of being here, and I would like to share with you all the infos, since I screwed the car piece by piece. I will now discover the rest of the club, since now I've got full access to it! see you!

P.S. There is bulgarian name Ivan (Иван) and it is among most popular names. From now on, call me Иван!

Exhaust is a bit too noisy on long trips Dude, I don't see the problem! How my mechanic says: Let the car breath freely!!!
-
Welcome! Your car got a very interesting history! Congrats!
-
For me Autumn its not just about warm colors... like the 916 that never get old, I choose the evergreen trees as background and an electricity pylon in order to emphasize the crispness of the GTV body. Photo taken at 8:30 am in a private test track, in Germany. Hope you like it! -
Nice plan for winter, alfaduden! You will be virtually in good company! And nice sound of the TB too! Let us know, if you want, when you come down to nürburgring, I live not far.
-
Yes I saw that picture... I recognise it now and I have a 24v... Ops! Of course you probably will not reach 220 bhp but a better progression. Do you do the adapters by your own?

Welcome! Nice cars collection!
