A question or two - do you know how they paint carbon fibre? Is painting carbon the same as painting steel (i.e. for the results that you end up with)? The added speed that you get from steel vs fibre can't be much, but I am tempted as hell regarding the whole idea of carbon

With a seven year wait to get your ultimate Alfa Romeo, what will you drive in the meantime? How about a Noble M400 which is only going to cost you around £55 to 60 thousand and will out perform the Alfa in a straight line whilst handling as well as the Italian car. Having driven an old standard left hand drive Alfa GTV, will say that whatever speed you approach a bend, it just goes round it as if on rails.

The front grille is obviously a heart, not a kidney! The hood latches are foolish things, they will rattle, should be a more able fastener and no cord obviously. Who wants to stare a piece of wire loop vibrating in the wind the whole drive? When you apply a cloth to a complex metal surface on the engine, use some variety of rigid applicator behind a carefully folded piece, to get into nooks, or use a stiff bristle brush, changing the contact surface as you go. This wiping with a large balled up wad of cloth is not a real working method. And why no gloves? There is obvious finger scratch marks at the door pull, visible in the slow pan. The footwell is dirty. "Only half done" explains the video too.
@rhip993 жыл бұрын
