Nice looking calipers, but I see that not to many owners will put the top cover on when top is down
Any reason why?

Simply because I have no top cover.
The previous owner lost his and I think the new ones are overpriced.
A la prochaine

Thats my 946 Spider with the 200hp diesel motor. Doesn't make such a great sound but it sure goes! (more torque than a F360) 
Hope you all like? |

I've had a ride in an Alfa diesel and it's just great. 6 speeds and it pulls hard in every gear!

hey incompatible. Did you buy your blue spider with the red calipers out of CA? that might be my old car. FYI it was very good to me.

Negative,
I bought the car 2 months ago locally (VA)
The vehicle originated from New Mexico. (almost NO rust)
I just finished painting the calipers, wheels and bumpers.
The car was stripped and repainted 3 weeks ago.
I redid the interiour and I still need to finish off the gastank with "RustBullet" and touch up some items in the engine compartiment.
By the way, did you say blue???
According to my wife it is green.
I must admit that the "Alfa Stellar Blue" has a teal tint to it.
Marc

Hello MrC
Is that a combination of the 'old' Giulia Super front headlights, grill with the Nuova Super bumpers, hood, under bumper front indicators? It really looks good in a post step-nose 1300 gt junior way.
