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. http://www.italiancar.co.uk/Veloce/Veloce.html -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed Alfa 156 TSpark Lusso - Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS |

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

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! |

My Veloce is factory lowered by 20mm and on 16 inch wheels. Polypropylene tray - fantastic! -- Z Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you..
