"I actually think the original Milano mirrors look better. They match the angular shape of the car.
Me too.

mirrors
i would not agree on this,i have never liked the look of the 75 mirrors,they are to soft looking for the body,as most of the angles of the body are sharp edge design and the mirrors are very soft curve's,
the car mirror's that would suit this would be the formula 3 mirrors,they have a sharper look,as in this picture.the race sharp look,if you have the evo kit even more so.

75 TS rear bumper center exit is filled seamlessly. Right exit for V6 is cut and fits perfectly.

I think the car looks great. I just finished my Gold that was seriously scorched when my house burned. I installed a Veloce kit with Verde wheel arches. I got the kit used from alfaracer75. I needed to fab the side mounts for the front and rear, and glass them in. On mine, I also had to remove the "boxes" where the US bumper shocks (front) bolt up and weld some plates in to accomadate the arms on the front spoiler. The car is white too! It gets approving looks from little kids, pimply teenagers, truck drivers, and (best of all) women 15 years younger than me.
I can't figure out how to post pics from Kodak Easyshare.
Joe-if you want to install the front spoiler, I can help.

I also had to glass in the exhaust hole in center. My Ansa clears the rear with no cut out.

Heh, I have to do the opposite. Move the right exit to the (just off to the left) center.

Almost there... The grille mesh needs to be redone because the body shop guy mistakenenly painted it all red; I want to leave the mesh metallic gray for better contrast. Verde mirrors fit perfectly. Window visors should have been installed prior to paint, another mistake that has to be corrected tomorrow. I finally found a pair of foglights once belonging to my old Saab 9000 that can be fit into the Veloce air vents. It's a shame I can't use the original Hella folights off my Milano as they're a bit wide for the air vents and the holders won't come off the stock American bumper.
I threw away the rusty UK fenders that came with the body kit, cut two openings on my Milano's rust-free fenders for the Euro side indicators, see detail.

That would be pretty authentic if Alfa designed their famous 2nd gear grind into the auto tranny as well. It's all about the details, all about the details...

Imagine explaining that to your friends who arent quite alfa fans.
uneducated non-alfa guy: 'hey man, whys your car grinding, i thought it was just cause you cant shift to second like anyone else on the planet?'
Alfa lover: 'nope, actually its an automatic, they worked that sound in there perfectly. We at the alfabb believe its them trying to make us just buy a standard'
