Sportwagon Pics

Washed, polished, waxed, head unit fitted and working.

Work to do:

HIDs (Kit sent was wrong one for reflector / clear lens headlamps)
Reversing sensor (need to order new numberplates, as rear one needs
moving upwards / downwards slightly to fit it, and the front one is
mounted a few cms too far towards the centre for a 156)

No other mods planned, other than perhaps a K&N panel filter, to cut the
cost of replacement on servicing.

It is lowered 15mm and on +1" wheels from the factory compared with
non-Veloce models anyway.

Plugged it into AlfaDiag and everything was all clear - except the known
airbag error - need to reset that once I've got a modded cable.

Did you just say 'lowered'. Do you plan to drive on any UK roads? Mine isn't
lowered and scrapes on every single speed bump it sees!

Mine doesn't as long as you're careful.

Basically, yes - its the undertray, not the nose though! I have tied it up,
but it still hangs down in the middle (not as low as the front pipes though,
so I've really got to watch!

Not aftermarket lowered, Veloces are 15mm lower than Lusso models. And
ride on bigger wheels.

My Veloce is factory lowered by 20mm and on 16 inch wheels.
Polypropylene tray - fantastic!
