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.

About My Alfa Romeo 156

Manufactured in 2000, my Alfa Romeo 156 was made for the market of the United Kingdom. Instead of being imported into the UK, a parallel importer brought it to Hong Kong in 2001. The car is a 2.0 Twin Spark model equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, luckily it is not the “well-known” Selespeed box; the trim level is Sport Pack II*.

At the time when I was looking for an Alfa, I’d considered 3 model choices, they were 164, 75 and 156. And I had 2 criteria in mind:

  1. It must have a manual gearbox, absolutely NO Selespeed or automatic box
  2. A Busso V6 was preferred
