Introducing my 2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 Multiair 'Sprint Speciale'

I bought this car less than 18 months old with 8k on the clock in February 2017, fast forward 4 years and 40k miles and this is how the car looks today.

Camber Bolts (rear)
Custom made air suspension kit
Dual Black Viaair 444c Compressors & 3p management in sunken cut out with led surround and red hardlines
Sunken Black 5 Gallon air Tank with alcantara lip and led surround
Further red hardlines
Rear seat delete with 12" sunken sub, alcanatara lip with LED surround & raised red hardlines
Alfa Romeo Carbon Backed Sabelts out of a MiTo QV on custom made brackets
Italian Show Plate with reference to brand model code and engine code
Alfisti Side Skirts
Alfisti Rear diffuser
Facelift Anthracite Front grille
Smoothed front bumper
RaceDesign.PL front splitter
Custom Turboback exhaust with Decat by Wizard Exhausts
Hybrid Garrett 1446 Turbo
Uprated 390cc Bosch injectors
MT&D Front mount intercooler
K&N air filter
Custom remap
80% Reduction Short Shifter
Rebuilt 310mm Brembo Brake Calipers off a 166 V6

I welcome all feedback good and bad (trust me, from an Alfa point, I'm used to the bad!)

Lovely, lovely example.
Made to look moronic with the slamming.

There you have it.

Not my thing in terms of ride height, wheel tuck and camber etc., but interesting to see what's involved in a different 'scene' either way.

Would be interested to see the rear of the interior with the pipework and stuff, just to see how you've made it look, there's only a hint of it in the interior shot thumbup

We have issues getting over moderate bumps in a stock sportiva. I can't imagine the pain with it lower!

Now wishing we'd got a red one. Because that looks lovely in red.

It'll only be dropped like it is when parked (extra stance points). Normal height when driving.

I like that smile

To all those saying it's too low etc... it's on air so will be raised when driving to a more sensible height.

This ^^^

If it's on air, it'll be in it's 'show stance'

Gorgeous colour and the wheels look really good...

But would love to see the interior, boot & engine bay shots wink

Clearly a lot of time/effort/money has gone into it, looks like a nicely finished job. The dropped/stanced/bagged look isn't to my taste but who cares what the internet thinks!

I really like it. For me, it's a set of suspension and wheels away from being perfect. Looks like you've put a load of time and effort into it. I looked into getting MrsMDMA a 1750 Quadrifoglio a few years ago. Still a good looking hatch.

Love it... ignore the old moaners on here. A lot of love and attention has gone into making it how you like it.. good for you.

I think the colour is amazing.

I like 95% of what you have done and it does appear you have carried it out to a very high standard. However the one thing I just can't get my head around is the stretched tyre look, why???? Not only does it look stupid (in my eyes) it also offers no protection to your obviously expensive rims, it appears dangerous ( again my own opinion), It may or may not be legal ( someone will have the answer to this), I'm also astounded it actually passes an mot test ( although if stretched tyres aren't illegal then I suppose they can't be an mot failure).

Either way it's a nice car, enjoy what you've built.

Thanks for sharing, nice looking car.

Can you share a photo with the air suspension in normal driving mode?

What does the Hybrid Garrett 1446 Turbo offer, together with the injectors and intercooler are you seeing much of a performance/drivability improvement?

Think my G needs a new turbo very soon so curious about the options.
