When I bought the car, the Alfa 156 badge on the front grille had shown its age. The red colour has gone and turned into silver.

The boot floor in my 156 fell about an inch from where it should be. I always doubt that the tool set in the boot might not be the original one with the wrong height. It resulted in the falling of the boot floor.
Real causes of the falling boot floor
I decided to repaint the bonnet. Every time I looked at the bonnet, I felt bad for such a beauty and for the person behind the wheel, which is me.

Bad news to my wallet
Over the phone, I got a quote of EURO 15o for repainting the bonnet from a car painting specialist that was recommended by a 156 owner having his car served there not long ago. Booked a time and drove down to the workshop for final quote, the guy greeted me is nice but not the piece of news. After he inspected the paint condition with a staff who should be the technician doing the actual work, I guess, he told me that the paint condition is too bad to merely overlaying a new layer of paint, therefore, he suggested removing the existing paint entirely before repainting the bonnet and that costed 1oo Euro more😵.
