    This Sorry. I wish it was 195 though!!!

    Thanks for the kind words everyone, I really appreciate it

    She's treating me well so far, but the 'I' fell off the stupid badge (which I didn't want in the first place). When my debit card comes through, I'm ordering a 'Veloce' badge in classic Alfa script and getting the rest of the Mito (or Mto) badge off with a hairdryer. There's a really quiet rattle from the passenger side air-vent (the dealer should be able to sort that out very easily) and the inside of my passenger side Bose speaker sounds a bit loose when a song with strong bass comes on.

    Welcome to the Grande Punto owners club!

    Bet she sounds really good. And there is nothing quite like tan leather seats with Alfa logo.

    Lovely car, my compliments.

    I purely love that color on those leather seats, one of Alfa's finest!

    And for all of you who have not seen one in real life, it looks even more stunning in real life than in the photos!!

    Best of luck with the car, and keep us posted about how she treats you!
    The colour combination was something people were sceptical about earlier. They thought "light blue" would look crap, and have all eaten their words, which is always nice . The tan seats are amazing, but keeping them clean is a pain (I don't want to use leather cleaners due to chemicals which may fade it).
    You're right, it looks much better in real life.

    Thank you. I appreciate it, despite it being a little extreme

    Very funny Revo. But I'm already part of the Opel Corsa owners club!

    The stitching is very lovely though. A wonderful touch.

    wow! congrats.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I've got two on my desk right in front of me now. I've got one on the back and i'm saving the other two until after i've given it a good clean and the dent's in the passenger door have been sorted. I bought 3 from here but they were on offer at £1.50 each

    Yeah, Partsworld are fantastic, but I wanted slightly larger ones. Cos they are generally wing badges, but I only want a boot badge. Maybe quadrifoglio stickers on the wings.

    The law never passed, and I don't know if it's on hold or simple forgot, so I remember reading the car is just theoretically available, but not purchasable up to when the law passes, or something.

    Nice purchase btw!

    Well AFAIK, only the 78bhp version is available here, not the 95bhp.

    Not that this matters since everyone stupidly will go for the diesel.

    Congrats, that interior is fantastic! The color is a little iffy, but otherwise great purchase.
