Hello, ty.  The car has about 63.000km and the engine is fine for now do not need anything in particular. In the future will be optimized in performance a bit but not too much. I thought the first thing to put the squadra  tuning  chip and decat.  But first, when finished body, I will begin the refurbish of the suspensions, with new ammo (yellow koni sport), springs (eibach prokit) and full  powerflex kit  Good luck for the work on your V6

 

 

 

 

 

Painted body ... the color is gorgeous. The shade changes totally different according to the light. 

Many shades of red in one:

Colour looks amazing. Can't wait to see the end result.    I think I've seen only one pic of a GTV in rosso competizione and it looked great 

[jonalfaspider 107]

wow it look fantastic, i was lucky enough to test drive a F type jag in a similar red to your looked stunning in the sun

Orginal colour is probably already a respray. What paint is used here? Is this a 3 component paint job?  Doesn't look like diy!!!

[charlee 314]

I don't think it's 3 component.

It's right, about 9 years ago.

It's a tri-coat paint. Alfa Rosso Competizione 134\B; comes with 1 x base-coat, 1 x middle pearl-coat.

[charlee 314]

So it is a pearl paint then. Didn't think it was.

[jonalfaspider 107]

Any updates? Can't wait to see the finished pics

[916C-V6TB 30]

we are working calmly without haste soon update

[916C-V6TB 30]

As promised a little update... the car is not very clean from dust, and we must clean it and then polish it.

The tinted windows (visibility 20%) are a test to see how they are, it is a moment  remove or leave them,  and I have doubts ... I would appreciate an opinion about it. 

 

ps photos taken with my smartphone, quality is not very good ...

 

 

 

 

[charlee 314]

Looking great! Absolutely love the colour. You are really tempting me

I would let the paint dry properly before polishing.

Never liked tinted windows on a GTV.

[Hermanoli 6]

You can't go wrong with a "stock" window! Your car looks great but it will look amazing when finished, Big Like!

[916C-V6TB 30]

Thanx to all.

[Joris 136]

Amazing color!

 

If i again have a 916 some day i would def think about respraying it Rosso competition also!

Love it!

Hard to say under artificial light but colour looks not as dark as alfa rosso 130. I am curious how that will look in daylight as I am also going to respray my GTV in a brighter red than orginal (130). Any pics outside?

[charlee 314]

It's very different from rosso 130.

I really like the newer darker Alfa red used on 159, Giulietta, Mito, etc.

Brighter red is more Fiat to me.
