Yeah, when I picked it up from the dealer they were nice and shiney. Not so much now but I haven't had time to give it a proper spit and polish.
Just realised you may actually be taking the pee! Anyways, either or I like the way the exhaust looks and more importantly sounds. Be it chav or not.
I was thinking though, is it possible to paint the exhaust tips black? Just a pondering.

No, I wasn't taking the piss. Alfa V6 + interesting exhaust system = nice sound.
Not keen on the petrol flap and handbrake, though. Defo straight from Halfords.

I *think* the handbrake is an Alfa item. I have seen a few of them in Alfas. Mine also came with a chrome gear knob but I had them change it as I didn't like the way it felt :gaysmilie:
Never really occured to me it was out of place.
I'll have a look at the cap but unless it is an easy job it is staying I'm afraid.
Thanks for comments all.

IIRC you're right. Not a factory option but a dealer-fit one from the "Alfa Style" catalogue, as was the gear knob presumably.
Re: economy, I usually get about 18mpg around town, rising to mid-20's on the open road.

I really like Alfa Romeo's one of my friends dad used to have. They seem to have some unique charm to them. I prefer them to Mercedes Slks because of there a rarer occurance and have that italian passion.
Couldn't agree more. I use to have a 328i coupe sport and as accomplished as it was (and it was a great car that cost me nothing) it didn't have the charm of the Alfa. I look forward to driving the Alfa whereas the BMW was more of a car for A to B driving, all be it a very good one.

Consumption sounds about right then. It's worth it just for the noise.
always liked theseI think it depends on how you drive it.
It costs about £55 to fill it up and I think I'll be lucky to see 300 miles with about 100 of those being on the motorway.
At the end of the day I don't really mind. I love the car, the noise and the experience. Getting a little less mpg doesn't worry me.
