Giulia UK forum

[arun1uk]

Does anyone know of any decent UK Giulia forums?
A lot seem to be USA focused (Giuila forums etc), but I'm interested in experiences of UK based people.
I'm about to sign a deal on a QF and would love to get some real life experiences. As a life long BMW fan and driver, moving away is like stepping into the unknown.

Thanks in advance.

Arun, as you're in Surrey, you are not that far from AHM who are THE QF specialists.
Give them a call if you want to 'improve' the car once you get one. Also for servicing, too.
I'm not connected with them at all, other than being a previous very satisfied customer when I had my Abarth 124 Spider.

Perhaps we could a local PH Alfa meet

Why would you do this....?

I haven't even bought the car yet, and now I'm looking for upgrades!! When I get in trouble with the Mrs I'm pointing her squarely in your direction (p.s. thank you).

Been offered a vesuvio grey, black 5 holes, yellow calipers, convenience pack, power seats and upgraded steering wheel at a very reasonable price (in the man math sense). Does anyone have the Harman Kardon? Is it worth it?

Would love to join an Alfa meet if one is upcoming?

I went along to the meet in Alton a few times - https://www.alfaowner.com/threads/all-italian-brea...
Oh and Arun, there is quite a list of mods from AHM that would get you into trouble with Mrs Arun1....!
Buy it and enjoy - forget the stereo, just get a louder exhaust...!

I like bad influences...
I have a Caterham for sunny weekend fun, so hoping to have a fun car for evenings and weekends after coming from a diesel mile cruncher (as brilliant as it was).
Current dilemma is 3 very varied cars, all for different reasons;
- Giulia QF for obvious reasons
- Telsa Model 3 performance for the tech, low running costs and staggering speed
- 840i Gran Coupe for pure luxury, sweet straight 6 engine and long distance travel

Thoughts?

Yep, pretty much my first drive in the car was to AHM to get the exhaust / remote thingamajig done. Not having to have it in 'Race' to get the exhaust noise has helped me keep it out the ditch, despite keeping the Corsa's on for winter.

I have the HK and it is good, but I can't say I have really heard the standard system to be able to say it is worth whatever extra it costs.
