Possibly. You'll only know once you take it in. Worst case scenario the arms are Around 370 for the right arm and 300 for the left. plus fitting which takes an hour max.
And this where having an inkling of how they'll react would be helpful.Given those costs, it would be cheaper to re-fit the standard blocks, have the arms replaced under warranty and then re-fit the Alfaworks blocks afterwards.

Mine is finally going in tomorrow, parts have arrived and they are ok to fit it! (Think both sides are being changed)I hope you are right with the hour fitting! They have said they will probably need it a couple of days - that may have been because I was pushing them for a time scale though so might be covering themselves.
I too have the dreaded creak!
Went in today to Alfa knaresborough and they diagnosed it in a couple of minutes.
Mine only seems to be the drivers side. Superb build quality - just the 1,500 Miles.
Need to wait 3 weeks for them to be able to give me a courtesy car. They also want the car for 3 days as they say they also need to do a geo. Think they are just covering themselves as that is a hell of a long time.

Arrgghhh......creaking like a 
now, also have the rattle just behind my ear.
Are they likely to get arsy as I've had Alfaworks blocks fitted?
Dealer gets paid to do warranty work , no benefit for them in saying car has mods and then not getting the work and tbh it’s now a well known mod that many dealers know of and respect now, also have the rattle just behind my ear.Are they likely to get arsy as I've had Alfaworks blocks fitted?

Creaking from the front suspension is the nearly always the lower arms. Several cars have had this problem and the arms replaced under warranty. You'll find it tramlines much worse with the arm knackered. it will feel like a different car when its replaced.
Regarding the boot not opening, adjust the bump stops on the bootlid and this should solve that issue.

Am I too late to the party on the lease deals?
The cheapest I can find online is around £500inc. p/m for 24 months with 9months down.
There was a guy on here wanting to get out of a spider lease as he'd bought one. From memory it was around 350 per month and no deposit. Have a look back through the posts.The cheapest I can find online is around £500inc. p/m for 24 months with 9months down.

Out of interest eBay aside does anyone have information on where I could get a set of own 18” / 19” inch wheels?
Mine will be delivered on stock 17” / 18” wheels which I feel will somehow look a little underwhelming. (I ticked the race exhaust option instead....)
I have a set of larger wheels. They are on eBay. Mine will be delivered on stock 17” / 18” wheels which I feel will somehow look a little underwhelming. (I ticked the race exhaust option instead....)
I bought a set of these https://titan-7.com/products/t-s5-forged-split-5-s... Limited run now sold out and I think I have the only set in the UK. Forged, lightweight and expensive (shipping + import tax!)! This might be the only new 'supercar'-ish car I ever 'own' so figured I'd make it how I want it!

Not my car but there's no pictures of these wheels on a black 4c.

Car was inspected this week - Alfa works blocks were not mentioned
Arms being replaced next week - apparently there's no stock in the UK, parts coming from Italy.
