Hi all, I will be picking up a 2016 Alfa 4C next week.
Unfortunately the OEM tyre compressor kit is missing.
I have searched the internet for one with no joy.
Anyone got any ideas where I can find an original compressor. Also looking for a drivers side storage pouch.
I have managed to source and buy a passenger side one.
Many thanks.

Hi , car is a one owner 2016 coupe in Alfa red with 11000 miles bought from a dealer . Unfortunately the cover, car care kit and tool kit were all missing.
Found the compressor kit with manuals and car cover on sale in America but he wants £1000 for it and says he does not want to split the items . It’s everything or nothing I’m afraid. I just want to try and keep the car in original spec. The aforementioned stuff is standard issue with the car and should not be sold off separately.
Anyway looking forward to picking up the car on Wednesday. Thank you for replying to my enquiry.

Hi, you are totally correct. The kit sealant will probably be well past its sell by date.
It was more for the originality I was thinking about.
As you say the items on sale are not worth it.
I’m now just looking forward to getting the car and enjoying it. Thanks again everyone for comments.

Sorry should have also mentioned. Car does not have a lot of extras. Other than the instrument cowl there is not any extra carbon. Just got the basic plastic dash. Condition was more important to me than a car loaded with extras.

Thank you. I will buy a couple of funnels and a decent aftermarket compressor and of course not forgetting that all important towing eye. Hope I don’t need to use it though. 😂

Hi, thanks for your message. I don’t know what happened to the stuff. People obviously now know how scarce these items are and are looking to make a fast buck by selling them separately.
As I mentioned previously the one seller I found who had the compressor set was looking for silly money.
He didn’t even have the car care kit as part of the set.
An original car care kit can be bought for just under £200 but in reality I would never use the stuff within it.
I’ll just buy an aftermarket kit and add the towing eye and some funnels and keep looking for the OEM stuff at sensible money.
