Good choice, I hope you continue to enjoy it.
I have had mine for just over a year and I love it, I have spent a bit on it though including poly-bushed rear suspension, stainless exhaust with 2 less silencers(sounds cloud9 ) and Bilstein sport shocks, it is even better now.

Cheers guys, yeah I was thinking of getting a new exhaust for it, do you know where I can get one that has the letterbox style end on it, I think that they look really really good, is it Ragazon?
Also the brakes arent as good as I thought they would be, any ideas on that front? Its just been through an MOT and service so they should be as good as they will get, but they dont really inspire confidence to be honnest.
I still love it and its going to be in the drive for a LONG time! Oh yes. Such a beautifull looking and sounding car. Its just awesome! biggrin

Ragazzon are very good and you can get them mail order from Gazella and elsewhere probably. Have a look at Larini, thay are also pretty good and do a discount for AROC members. As for brakes, probably best to change brake fluid and install stainless flexible hoses before you pour your hard earned into disc and pad updrades. Keep us posted.

PS Congratulations on your purchase by the way, excellent choice.

I believe they share the same front discs & calipers as the Fiat Coupe Turbo. New pads will sort it - the stock ones don't seem to work too well. Red Dot fast road pads are good, Pagid blue pads even better & last longer.

Turbo Coupe discs and calipers are a favourite upgrade on 155's which means they are four stud fitting. V6 GTV/Spiders are five.
