I thought this thread was lacking pictures


I'm considering getting Alfaworks Road Spacers and Helmholtz Exhaust fitted next month. Any feedback, comments from anyone that has this setup or decided to go with an alternative??

^^^ Good options and favoured by many but I've not driven a car before/after the mods.

The Race exhaust did have that drone at circ 74mph but as carbon is presumably building up in the pipes its shifted to +80mph which is all the better. That said I was a deeper tone and will either go Alfaworks or go Centreline Stradale centre pipes if I can agree a decent price from US. c$500 for shipping does't sit well.

ETA: Here is a positive review from a journo. https://jalopnik.com/the-alfa-romeo-4c-shames-ever...

Does anyone have any information on the demo spider at Chesterfield mentioned in this thread?

Looks pricey compared to the '17 plate 1800 miler London Morgan are selling?

It is a nice spec, and a nice car. The London Morgan one looks a bargain doesn't it.

You may not remember but did it have 18 & 19” wheels or 17 & 18”. The specification on the website says both......

I’ve gone the Alfaworks route on both my 4c’s and have been totally happy with it and would recommend it but have not tried anyone else’s .
I believe their remap is a great investment as well

So I finally bought one, thanks to all of the help on here. Robbie at Alfa Knaresborough posted that he would help above, and he did. He has found me a 2017 spider Anniversary edition. Thanks to everyone for their help, I will post pics when I get it. Thanks to Joseph at Supercar Sourcing for being a font of knowledge (Superleggera)

Well done chum.

I wonder if Robbie is willing to help us out with a fair price for annual servicing low mileage cars? Harrogate is commutable for me and would be on my list of AR dealers to contact for servicing arrangements.

Pleasure doing business with you David, looking forward to seeing your car when it lands!

Armitage, I could possibly assist with your servicing costs. Drop me a PM to discuss.
