The Alfa Romeo 4C lease thread

[Armitage.Shanks]

PPF might be extra. That said my Sept '17 model has it on the bonnet, half up doors, sills, mirrors but not front bumper or wings which is kind of odd!

Stevie Wonder must have fitted mine.

Should have had bumper & wings so worth going back to Alfa . Mine was badly fitted & peeling at the edges, maybe the wings and bumper were the same on yours so someone removed it hoping you wouldn't notice, mine was replaced under warranty

Also Cills should be done

I’m going to send an email over to AR on the subject. Mine is due to be delivered early July.

Cills

Isn't that something you get when you have unprotected sex?

And that's why you need PPF protection

haha! Nice comeback.

Rather than badly fitted PPF, might this not be some of the 'delivery' protection left on from the factory?

[Moley RUFC]

Sadly it appears that Alfa no longer add the PPF as standard. What sort of cost are we talking to have it done and would you advise it?

That is a shame. They will still have the lower sills though I am sure. But I haven't seen a recent new car to be 100% on that.

I paid £1000 to have the front of my car done. Bumper, wings, connect, bi-led headlight glass and the frame around the windscreen. (its a spider)

My 4C has become the regular target of a local partridge. He keeps attacking the mirror image of himself in the door. It sounds like a woodpecker banging away.

PPF on mine is poorly fitted and pretty much first week of having it looked like there were scratches due to dirt under the PPF edge.

Dealer fitted or factory? Covered under warranty?

Factory fit

Warranty yes

All of mine was replaced for exactly the same reason

Has anyone got through the Pirelli AR Racing tyres get?

This batch of hot weather and mine are wearing fast! The rear mid/outer edges are getting low after 8.5k miles, not sure if I will replace them with AR Racing or standard PIrellis yet! Any other suggestions?

Blaming the weather

I started a separate thread on this exact topic. It might be on page 2 now.

Yes I got 9000 miles out the rears of mine.

I've switched to Michelin Super Sports and the difference is astounding. The pirellis are terrible.

[AlfaAddict]

Thanks will price those up! I will try and find the other tyre thread too.

£172 inct VAT I paid for mine. 235/35 R19, Y.

Blackcircles and a friendly ATS crew fitted em and cleaned my alloys up foc. So top lads.

[Moley RUFC]

Just back onto the cars my order is still on status 16 fix. Seems to have been stuck on that for 6 weeks or more.
