Thanks, you're not helping! Especially when she looks like this
Just to helps a little more, met a Swiss chap at the Montana restaurant in Modena last year , if you don't know it this may give you an idea how much it's the Ferrari canteen https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=trQllOsEaaIAnyway the Swiss fella had owned Ferraris for 23 years but admitted his 4c was the best car he had ever owned for sheer driving pleasure, now has that helped ??

Hi all
Love the 4C, some lucky people on here. For those with one in Rosso Competizione, would you mind confirming the paint code please? I believe it is 115B.
Many thanks
Richard
Not sure of the code as my cars it with me, If your copying it there's tints in the laquers , it's not just the paint you need, just to scare you I needed a new bumper after a pheasant decided to end it's life against my car, paint and laquers were £1500 , and that's plus labour to do the spraying plus the parts plus replacing the PPFLove the 4C, some lucky people on here. For those with one in Rosso Competizione, would you mind confirming the paint code please? I believe it is 115B.
Many thanks

Had one on test recently. Really liked it, but not as an everyday car. My Evora is better for that. Also Alfa bump steer properly scared me on roads the Evora does with aplomb.
Car as sold is incredible on the track but more than a little exciting on the uk's crap roads, easy to fix and make more road compliant .

With that sorted I would have one over an Elise or Exige as a weekend car, shame you have to sort handling on a new car at your own cost.I looked at it with a view to replacing the Evora, which is my everyday car, the Alfa is not suitable for that.

well my exige v6 was almost my everyday car. the 4c is far easier to live with day to day. i guess the evora is essentially a GT though. I looked at it with a view to replacing the Evora, which is my everyday car, the Alfa is not suitable for that.

20k miles pa, things like cruise control boot space etc make the difference.
Cruise is an option on the 4C , I specced it to save fines nipping through france, its actually quite exciting as unlike our other cars which gently speed up to cruise when you reset it the Alfa does it with a bit of Italian spirit & gets to cruise pretty briskly . Agree the boots small but with planning its Ok. Weve now completed 2, 8 day trips to Europe packing enough for 2. It stops the good lady bringing back any designer Italian shopping although she did threaten to shop & send it home with DHL, If its only you in it there's the passengers seat as well Gassing Station | Alfa Romeo, Fiat & Lancia | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
