TBH, aside from lowering, it's perfection already, esp the brown one with trim rings ;D

Too predictable for you Paul! Nice to see you on the forum again. Was saying to Katie just today that you'd been quiet for a while. Ace cafe on Wed?

Nice to see you on the forum again. Was saying to Katie just today that you'd been quiet for a while. Ace cafe on Wed? Thanks I've been browsing but barely had enough time to keep up with all the threads, let alone post! Given what's happened, I've been doing my best to keep myself busy recently whilst I get my emotions back under control.... Mostly feeling better now though - hope all's well with you & the family too What's happening at the Ace on Weds? Thought that the Classic Cars night isn't until the 13th?

It's surprising how much better they look in dark colours. That black one looks great with the bonnet scoop! Was that a genuine option, or has someone been at it?
No Photoshopping here, but just a few words instead! I think any modifications I did would have to be reversible due to the car's rarity and value. Definitely lowered, if anything. Not much else you could do to that; it's pretty much perfect, as Paul H says.
Hmm, what about a set of modern Lancia wheels? 18" or less, I reckon. Or possibly some period racing wheels.

^^^oooohh, mama! would look good mild customed. fender skirts, hollywood flippers, lakes pipes, maybe some kind of westergaurd-esque grille, twin fish tails, 2-tone paint. maybe a deep imperial blue over ivory, and perhaps some side trim like a buick sash (wrong shape I know, but you get what I'm driving at). oh to be a millionare

right, this is a trcky one but I think it looks pretty good as it is.
Frech the headlights and colour code them. Cho the roof only very slightly, it's pretty low as it is so we're talking under 2" and lay the back screen down. Split the front screen with a good strong V in it. Lose the foglights. Graft an inch into the height of the bumpers and add some large bullets positioned where the headlights are. Needs some feature down the side like a thick curved chrome trim that comes from the top of the front wheelarch and curves down finishing at the bottom rear of the door mimicking the shape of the roof. Lose the pillar. Smooth caps like the brown one.

You should be arrested for suggesting that!

Hmm, I know there were tentative plans laid at one time to chop one, to be carried out by someone who could do it properly too. Would look awesome I think. I think for fender skirts to work it would need the rear wing extending a little, maybe with a bit of an early Cad baby fin? Or perhaps after the Bentley Continental/Chevy Fleetline way.

Nope, I'd do nothing. Just lower it a bit maybe, banded rims and thats about it.
I'd consider the engine after driving it. Maybe its good to go as it is, got the proper historic Alfa feel and noise. Or maybe its not quite up to the looks and needs to be replaced with something more spunky. But without closer inspection Ic ouldn;t say

'KINGDOM' BODYKIT + LEXUS LIGHTS. ;D Maybe some blue LEDs on the windscreen washers too... It such a pure shape, I think it looks best in a racing livery. Or driven by a mad Italian cartoon character.
