I remember that. The thing is it was one person and the whole story was iffy. I have personally delt with him and have had nothing but good dealings. He got me parts for my GTV6 I could not have gotten over here and it was very affordable.

all these body kits for the 75/milano make the car look like a wannabe 80s rice rocket or something... I mean if you are gonna make a kit car of a Milano/75 it would be way more beautiful to construct a body kit to put on the Milano/75 chassis and drivetrain that would look better than the 80s design of the Milano... I think car manufacturers just lost there design ideas in some other world in the 80s, a world of ugly designs both in car and fashion, quite possibly the ugliest car designs in the world came out of the 80s... what ever happened to the beautiful 60s designs? TZ, Tipo 33 Stradale, Junior Z, Montreal, I mean seriously what happened? I guess all the good designers died or just went crazy when the 80s hit... I mean most 60s designed Alfas will always be considered classic beauties, the milano WILL NEVER be that!

mmmmm soap....
Well, sorry guys, I gotta agree..I'm not too into the look that these kits give a Milano. That said, not sure if it's relevant to the topic at hand. It'd make an interesting thread though...good/bad kits (or just any customs work - see the Alfa truck thread in the pics forum) for Alfas.

I'm not sure why all you feel the need to vent your "your-cars-are-ugly" opinions in this thread and maybe you should read some more before typing because the "Evo-kit" is an original Alfa Design. Not a cheap styling kit like the ones you can get for the current rice cars but Ricambi Orginale.

I can never really decide if I prefer the look of the Evo/ Veloce over the stock (Verde) look, but I sure am intrigued!
But, if I can save some weight with lighter fenders, hood, bumpers, etc...then count me in!
Cheers,

I like most of the Evo kit (and would be interested in the 'repo's' mentioned earlier in this thread), but the front spoiler would make the speed bumps and potholes of central Kentucky very interesting. Does anybody else still produce body kits for the 75/milano, besides Lester? I haven't inquired of Ricambi, as the $2300+ price tag scared the sh** outta me. I just wanna build a well handling, good looking Milano (my current incarnation is a platinum) for New Hampshire. I was gonna take an Alfetta, but that was nixed by the ol' lady ("no AC? in July? Are you nuts!?!") What about the Verde side skirts/flares and maybe just the Evo rear bumper skirt? Any opinions?
