Got my self another hot hatch... this time in form of an alfa.

It has all the choice mods (q2, 330's, coilovers, 18's, etc)
Its my second GTA and nothing like the mazda 3 mps in performance terms but leaves it behind in the style department.
hope you like

That front bumper isn't standard is it? The grilles look lower than normal.. Not too keen on it. Other than that, the car looks gorgeous! I considered one before getting my M5. Lovely looking things, but never drove one.

Not keen on front bumper myself tbh but car has all mods done by previous owner ready for superchrger to be installed which required front bumper from autodelta

Very nice indeed, however I'm not sure of the alloys in black tongue out

The chap I bought my 147 from has a GTA that he keeps trying to sell me, but I'm not in the position to buy right now frown

I will keep a eye out for you in this one. Should hear the sound before the sighting. You said you would and you have, nice one.

I remember that one for sale a while ago, had some choice AD upgrades. I do agree though, ditch the front bumper - why is it required for the S/C? Pabloss has the 3.7 S/C and his is standard....

Top purchase though, like it alot. Really tempted to get back into a GTA myself, nothing quite like it.

Beautiful. I'd spend a bit of cash and return the wheels to standard finish if it was mine. smile

That exhaust is modified too isn't it.

I'm pretty sure the standard car only had 2 pipes.

I prefer the quads though smile

Very nice indeed, though the non-standard bumper looks a touch cumbersome in comparison to OEM.

Yeah but i believe paul had issues with oil cooling?? or had to alter original bumper. I remember when went to the ring with him he mentioned something about that he might have to get the autodelta front bumper..

The front bumper and the exhausts don't look great, sort those and it will be incredible!

Agree with all comments wink

Would happily swap bumper for a standard one and exhaust for a twin system ... But one thing about the current exhaust it sounds standard!?! So pretty quiet which is great for 90% of the time but when i fancy opening the taps i would like it to magnify the glorious sound a bit more.
