4C - Where are we with prices right now?

[T5GRF]

Not sure what it was bought for but pretty sure it was advertised for the sellers current sale price.
Nice spec car for sure but black on black does nothing for me personally speaking.

Luckily the Alfa workshop team had a spot for today and had to make sure I was first. Got a Scotland road trip coming up so need to get this done.

One other thing, do people find the windscreen becomes peebledashed with it being so low? My caymans was terrible and didn’t know if it affected this car.

That was quick work!
What are your impressions after having had the work done?

Well they had a space so i took it.
It is a lot better on motorways and at regular driving speeds I did get get quite alot of play over a ton though.

Good work, have you changed the tyres as well? When is the Halo being fitted?

I’m sticking with the Pirelli’s for moment, there fine just to learn the pace of the car with but maybe in the summer I think the switch to Mitch’s will be made.
Went and had a play with the Halo unit the other day I’m just looking for pictures of how it sits in the motor. Worried it will just consume the dash.





It was nice enough on the way back from Alfaworks to take the roof off!

I thought it was £42.5k when Morgan had it up a few months back. As a private sale it's too much when it's got double the mileage then Morgan had it

Next market watch report will be ready in the next couple or days.

Jo3h, is that a plate or sticker on the front? If it’s a plate could you let me know where you got it from please?

It’s a sticker, obviously not legal but a plate just doesn’t look right on the front end.

I had a sticker on mine until last week - I know too many people who are getting pulled for such number plates, and it certainly seems to be a crackdown on it.

I’ve now made myself a bracket for a small plastic plate (although still not legal in size, but better than the stick on one..)

Are you saying stick on is illegal?

Bit of a grey area I think, and can’t seem to find anything concrete to confirm.

My little stick on one was taking the piss a bit too much...

Having come from Elise’s and most recently an Exige V6 what are they like to get in and out of by comparison?
4C’s didn’t get rave reviews about handling, is this true, and if so can it resolved?

Also came from Exige V6’s - I find it easier to get in the Alfa,and more room once inside, but the Exige certainly had better handling (and is faster too.)
I’m lead to believe a quick trip to Alfaworks sorts it favourably.

I’ll never go back to an Exige until they make either a decent manual, or a much better auto box.

Can’t be illegal unless there’s a cut off date as Etypes have always worn them

[MellowshipSlinky]

Problem is a full size stick on plate doesn’t fit the flat vertical part of the bumper - it has to curve over the top and doesn’t look right.

Therefore, a cut down plate is needed either as a sticker or rigid plastic.
