Hi All

Been hanging around here a few weeks now while awaiting finalisation of my purchase. It's finally done:

2003 156 JTS, Silver with tricked out body kit. I'm in love again! I'd forgotten how much fun driving is.

I flew to Sydney last weekend and drove back to Melbourne the whole day. Beautiful. Everytime I stopped I looked back to admire this car.

Congrats.. Have you got any pics to show?

Thanks Phil. Yep - got a few that I took after a solid 2 hour session of wash and polish. I'll try to upload them tonight.

That is very nice. Im putting it out there best 156 I have seen..

The bodykit looks freat without being over the top..

Yep, looks really good. Nice kit (what is it?), and the best wheels for this car. I'm not a huge fan of the 156, but this one looks great.

Thanks - I reckon it looks great too! The car was bought from John Blair motors here in Melbourne back when he was still selling Alfas, and the original (and only previous) owner had the kit fitted by them. So it's original Alfa fitted, not aftermarket. It's been lowered, got 17" wheels, and the neat skirts, front splitter, rear diffuser and spoiler. The 156 was already low enough, so with this fit out I *really* have to watch the kerbs and speed bumps.
