Retrospective sport pack - possible?
Discussion
I fancy at some point in the future fitting my 155 2.0 TS 16v with the BTCC-style Sport Pack - the adjustable front splitter, rear spoiler and side-skirts.
Is it still possible to buy these? And will they fit to my car without much problem? It's in Argento Bianco (a kind of off-silver) - I've never seen a sport pack in that colour before - did they do them?
And how much would one be if I found one? Does anyone know?
Cheers

register and ask on the wanted section on www.alfa155.org
Great bunch of people who know everything you need to know.
I have a later widebody with sportpack which on the later versions consited of speedline 5 spoke wheels, boot spolier and slightly lowered suspension.
Are you not thinking of the narrow body silverstone edition featured recently on pistonheads as SOTW? Again, the boys on alfa155.org will know all.

Ah, perhaps you could help me further.Great bunch of people who know everything you need to know.

My car was ordered with the lowered sports suspension, but the alloys aren't five-spokes (they're pepperpots, still require massively wide tyres though and I personally prefer them to the Speedlines so I'll be keeping them)), but the spoiler kits were deleted. It was ordered new by the Renault F1 team as a pool car so it's possible they wanted a bit of a sleeper.
However, if I do fit this kit, I want the 'correct' one for the year of my car (1997). Which sport pack was it? I like the look of the adjustable spoilers and I may do some track days in future on which they'll help, but I don't want to cobble together some homemade pretend-Silverstone bitsa, especially as mine is a more powerful and (IMO) better-looking model with its wide arches.
This was the "normal" Sportpack:

I am a bit confused...you want the correct sportpack for a 1997 widebody but you want adjustable splitter or spoiler....the factory widebody sportpack bits were non adjustable. There are adjustable spoilers, etc but you need to see alfa 155.org. if you tell me exactly what you want or PM me your contact details I can pas them on to the right people who may be able to help.

You're talking about two different sets of kit.
Sportpack consisted of a wrap around boot spoiler, colour coded side skirts and 5-spoke alloys made of cheese.
The kit needs painting to match the car, it was not bought in the coloured required. Fitting is reasonably easy although removing the sideskirts can be a pain...and it;s a brave man willing to drill into a perfectly good bootlid! :lol:
Silverstone - homologation special for the BTCC, car consisted of poverty spec 1.8 8v with adjustable from splitter, rear spoiler (from a 33!) and a "jacking kit" for raising the spoiler, thrown in the boot.
Whichever kit you decide on, there are loads of spares avaliable on the forum mentioned, apart from the jacking kits!

OK. Given that the Silverstone bits aren't 'correct' for my car, and that butchery of the bootlid wasn't what I had in mind, I think I'll leave it for the time being and concentrate on saving for the Delta Integrale I'm really after.
However, the sill covers are looking a bit tatty (one is being held on by cable-tie at one end), so I might fit the side-skirts at some point.

PS have a brand new 155 factory NOS bootlid with the spoiler holes in the spare room!
