Hello, ty.  The car has about 63.000km and the engine is fine for now do not need anything in particular. In the future will be optimized in performance a bit but not too much. I thought the first thing to put the squadra  tuning  chip and decat.  But first, when finished body, I will begin the refurbish of the suspensions, with new ammo (yellow koni sport), springs (eibach prokit) and full  powerflex kit :)  Good luck for the work on your V6 :)

 

 

 

 

 

Painted body ... the color is gorgeous. The shade changes totally different according to the light. 

Many shades of red in one:   :wub:  :)

Colour looks amazing. Can't wait to see the end result.  B)  :thumbsup: I think I've seen only one pic of a GTV in rosso competizione and it looked great

Orginal colour is probably already a respray. What paint is used here? Is this a 3 component paint job?  Doesn't look like diy!!!

It's right, about 9 years ago.

It's a tri-coat paint. Alfa Rosso Competizione 134\B; comes with 1 x base-coat, 1 x middle pearl-coat.

As promised a little update... :) the car is not very clean from dust, and we must clean it and then polish it.
The tinted windows (visibility 20%) are a test to see how they are, it is a moment  remove or leave them,  and I have doubts ... I would appreciate an opinion about it.  :)
 
ps photos taken with my smartphone, quality is not very good ...

Looking great! Absolutely love the colour. You are really tempting me :D

I would let the paint dry properly before polishing.

Never liked tinted windows on a GTV.

You can't go wrong with a "stock" window! Your car looks great but it will look amazing when finished, Big Like!

Hard to say under artificial light but colour looks not as dark as alfa rosso 130. I am curious how that will look in daylight as I am also going to respray my GTV in a brighter red than orginal (130). Any pics outside?

It's very different from rosso 130.

I really like the newer darker Alfa red used on 159, Giulietta, Mito, etc.

Brighter red is more Fiat to me.
