Alfa156 broken engine guard

A knocking sound occurred underneath the engine bay all of sudden and lasted while I was on the way to a restaurant with 2 friends of mine. Since the engine worked fine and there was no road shoulder available, I decided to go straight to the destination that was only a few minutes away. At the parking lot, I found that the engine guard had fallen.

Upgrading Alfa 156 interior

As mentioned before, the Sportpack II of Alfa 156 interior design is one of the main attractions to me. However, I always wanted to upgrade some components of the Alfa 156 interior to make it even more sporty. The targeted objects are the gear lever boot and the handbrake cover.

Repainting the Alfa 156 front bumper

Since I had the Alfa 156, I had parked it in a roof-less car park. With the rent went up, the price difference for an indoor shelter became justifiable. However, the Novitec front spoiler didn’t provide enough clearance to let the car get in and out of the multi-storey car park without scratching the spoiler. I decided to remove the front spoiler. Then I found the front bumper’s paint is really in bad condition.
