Yes only one will fit, but you do have a potential boot tidies as well.

I have those that fit snugly in the boot together with the holdall and the toiletry / make-up bag (as OH has decided it is) as well

The bags look great. Where did the boot tidies come from?

Be careful putting aerosol cans in the boot - the manual explicitly warns against it as it can get hot in there - 50C apparently.

I hope the bags are better than the website! I can't find anything in there for the Alpine

Interesting discussion on the A110 luggage solutions. We do have dedicated thread called "Interior storage and luggage solutions". It would be great if you could continue this discussion there. That thread can be found here:

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Discussing wide variety of A110 related topics on this huge mega thread means that it's nearly impossible to find any of the interesting discussions later on. We do have lots of existing threads for different topics and if nothing relevant exists, then anybody can create a new thread on this forum.

If I would know how to request this thread to be closed, I would ask for it.

I ordered the Alpine luggage without asking the price first. How expensive can 2 small bags be after all ...

yuck

If that little pencil case between the seats is £500, then the answer might be **very** hehe

Thought I’d post a little ‘good news’ story here given some of the issues a few owners have been facing, myself included.

As some might know my car was hit by a 3rd party in June last year and is still of the road due to availability of parts and, more recently, the incompetence of the repairer - I won’t bore you with the details.

I have been corresponding with Nicola at Alpine head office who has been chasing parts and the body shop, but as a gesture of goodwill she offered to loan me one of head office’s cars for the weekend, so I have been running around in a nice little San Remo for the past couple of days.

So, whilst still frustrated and angry at the delays, I did have fun driving the SR as it reminded me of why I bought the car in the first place. So thank you to Nicola and her team for restoring some faith in the Alpine brand - and fingers crossed might see my car this side of Christmas weeping

Is the San Remo the 300 PS engine, the soft chassis & the bucket seats? If so you might just be driving the best possible version of the car.

It’s based on an S I believe, it certainly felt like it had 300 PS, not sure about the soft suspension, it felt quite taught so assumed it had the S set up, but I haven’t driven mine for so long I can’t remember how stiff it was banghead

Just going from what my dealer told me, before I placed my GT order I was asking if there was any way to get the soft suspension with the 300 PS engine and the bucket seats, and he said "that's what the San Remo edition is". Hard to judge the ride height from your pic, I'm not convinced that's S suspension though.

You’re probably right as on reflection it did seem quite compliant.

To achieve this the best way is to buy a base spec and put the 300ps map on it. In fact I would recommend to anyone to go boggo spec with Focal audio and Life110 the rest.

I went the long route and bought a Legende GT and bought my own Sabelt bucket seats.

Mandatory pic of it at Spires. The wheels are a work-in-progress so ignore those:

"Work-in-progress" or not Alex, they are nice looking wheels. Are they from Bola?
