Hi

I've had it for about 7 years. I've worked as an Alfa master technician at main dealers for almost 30 years. I've only just spotted this forum so couldn't resist :-)

The color, leather and wheels make it pleasing to the eye.

You can be the tech guy on the forum. I say a double welcome ;-))

Welcome, nice car and color combination. Are these the Alfa 166 wheels? What did you do to make this fit onto the car?

[Alfatech 37]

Hi,

Yes, they are 166 accessory wheels . They fitted straight on without the need for any adaptors.

Cheers

[Joris 136]

Thats impossible the 166 is 5x108 and the 916 series have 5x98.

Must be a 166 look a like very rare wheel.

 

Welcome to the forum youre Spider looking great!

Love the cup kit in red!

Hi Joris

I bought the wheels from an Alfa main dealer , so never doubted that they weren't genuine alfa wheels .

They still look good either way :-)

[Alfatech 37]

Just spotted these wheels on ebay  which are the same as mine .

I have seen then before on a GTV. I think they could be ordered though the accessories list

They look very classy. The wheel to have on the 166.

I was browsing through your pictures, and I have to say, your rear bumper suits the car very well. Do you also have the front spoiler? I asked an Alfa parts guy, your wheels are original Alfa. They could be ordered in 5x98.

Cheers, . The front spoiler came with the cup kit , so didn't need to buy the Autodelta one .

I was pretty sure the wheels are genuine , they came to me on a dealer transfer in alfa boxes together with Alfa centre caps.thanks for confirming it, it's nice to know I have a rare set of Alfa wheels .

I wish I'd turned the boot lock badge before taking the photo. :-(

I noticed the boot lock badge. I worked for Alfa in the UK for some years. I noticed that the GTV and Spider's where so much better equipped then on the continent. Your Spider is the perfect example of that.

We imported many V and W reg GTV's from the Forces in Germany. Also some very nice Coupe Fiat's.

Enjoy your gorgeous Spider.,

Yes the coupes are a lovely car , wish I had room for one :-)

I started my apprenticeship with FIAT back in the 80s so have been with FGA in the dealer network all the way through.

Our paths must have crossed over the years .
