Alfa Romeo Mito Cloverleaf

[oli208]

After 3 years of owning two Saxos, a 1.1 and a vtr, I have decided to get a newer car. I had my heart set on a DS3 but I drove past an Alfa dealer and had to have a look .

This is what I ended up getting .











It's a 1.4 turbo with 170bhp . Such a fun car to drive and quite good on petrol, when you haven't got your foot to the floor lol.

Plans

- Ordered some legal pressed plates today.
- Put new day running light bulbs in as they where yellow and looked wank when the xenon lights where on. now they are a nice whitey blue.
-carbon fibre wing mirrors, headlight and tail light surrounds.
- black grill and front instead of crome
-black door handles.
- remap, air filter and back box ( proven to raise bhp to around the 215 mark by monzasport.)

comments welcome

Looks smart that, I'm a big Alfa fan. When these came out though I wasn't sure but they're growing on me!

Your car looks mint. I bet its quick!

[jeffchiz]

Love these looks really good! is it the VAG 1.4?

[JoshFurioBrookes]

Engines are so efficient now, almost 100bhp more than my 1.4!
Looks very very nice. I think it needs lowering abit though, too much arch gap!

I would lower it but its got active suspension so when you put it in sport the suspension gets stiffer, i think lowering it might bugger it up lol.

No, it's a fiat engine.

You need to take pics of the interior, that's the best bit of the car!

[oli208]

Took a couple of pictures of the interior. It was getting dark so their not the best quality.



Its got all the carbon effect dash, door cards front/rear

Also has the Bose sound system.

another pic that might interest some people.



not the best pic, its called a DNA switch, A is all weather so for rain, snow, ice etc. N is normal, and D is dynamic (basically sport) its stiffens up the suspension and sharpens throttle response. It drinks petrol when in D lol

So something else to go wrong?

This is the spoiler and back bumper I'm gonna get. Except the defuser would be colour coded.
