Q4's yeah rare as hens teeth and basically Lanica Integra but with 155 shell. I love Alfas and to be honest i've been amazed with this 155 is is such a pleasure to drive, love it, i'm in process of turning it into full Tarquini race rep..... and may lower her.

personnally I'd leave as is, but lower. Looks ace at the moment, I don't think it would as good fully stickered up.  As always though your car your choice, prove me wrong I dare ya!  |

Thisa car is epic. So much so that lowering it will enter into the realms of plain wrong. Stickers = BFF Please leave exactly as is and enjoy  |

Cheers for the great responces so far chaps! ;D Part of me always expects at least a little banter about 'Alfas always breaking down' or 'rust buckets' etc etc..... I may scrap the idea of race repin' it then, i think its correct it could just look wrong and possibly look a little chav. So she'll stay plan red...  BTW its 2.0 so not the V6, but yes V6 engine is a beauty, mines just T Spark, still nice though. great clip. |

My mum had a K reg Alfa 155 about 10 years ago. Was a dark metallic green, and was flaking on the boot. Was the 2.5 v6 though, such a lovely car, smooth power all the way through and a lovely noise! Was kitted out inside too, possibly air con, heated seats etc etc etc (it was like a rolls after 2 knackered basic mk2 astra's). Surprisingly all the electrics worked fine as far as I can remember, however after about 6 months, the engine blew its cool and chucked a mass of oily smoke into the cabin and the car was done for. My mum (being the complete opposite of a petrol head) has vowed never to own an Alfa again  doesn't mean I won't though, I love 'em! Wish I'd persuaded my mum to keep it or at least the engine. I could have some fun with that. Had no idea 10 years ago I would grow up so car orientated though. So I love Alfa 155's even though my mums was a steaming pile, I deffinitely have a soft spot for them. And the BTCC car was awesome! Yours looks lovely, and I wouldn't sticker it but as said your car and its a cracker anyway! have fun with it |

Mate of mine has had one of these for about 10 years now and done about 40K in it, total sum of problems have been a flat battery and a perished brake hose. That's those unreliable Italians for you etc.

alfa's are not unreliable, they're just a bit sensitive for maintenance, and to be driven by sense i have driven a lot of alfa's, most of them were high-mileage for example i've had a tuned 75 turbo with 365k km's never let me down on topic your 155 looks very good, only needs to be lowered i've had a '92 1.8 TS 8v, lowered with eibach springs and yellow koni shocks, handling was very near perfection |
