Mine is the ugliest Milano in the thread so far, and probably for the rest of the thread:





Hanging the tail out, PRE-sway bars, dropped spindles - lots of LCA angle!

BTW 75evo, your body roll is looking very tame there. I dunno why mine keels over. Maybe it's my big head.

You got a little carried away with the red paint & and the fog lamps look wrong,yellow indicators look ordinary red is best.Did you really need that extra boot wing ?
apart from that you have the best looking 75 (Milano) posted to date.

I got this last year for free with 90 something thousand mls on it, Had not been started since 02, changed Battery and fluids, fitted a battery isolator to cure Battery drain problem, Intended keeping it for a couple of months, Never even considered an Alfa before that no offence but to be honest I thought they were **** but after nearly 9 months of relentlessly trying to break it I have to conceed that I cant, I absolutly love it, and recently without doing anywork on it it sailed through my countries very strict car testing with the exception of wiperblade condition and headlight dip allignment, the mechanic testing it stopped other inspectors testing other vehicles and spent a long time underneath it pointing at the mechanical layout with shocked and confused expressions on their faces.....
