Thanks Matts.

Yes, the hub does have five studs and solid discs.

I meant twin pot calipers, sorry. The aluminium ones. So, I will not have to change hubs then? Or modify any other part of my car? :?:

8) What are you going to do with that original rubber front spoiler? If its not going onto your carI wouldnt mind buying it.... Nisaar, I'll have a look around. If I remember correctly, I think I saw a front spoiler lying somewhere a bit bent out of shape, but it does fall back into shape when it i...

:lol: Guys, I haven't seen the green one. I wish I did though! Well, about those pics: The car has been standing in my mom's garage for the past two years (still roadworthy, every year I renew the license but drive out less fuel than the cost of the license!). So it's quite dirty, I hope you won't m...

Alfa 159i Performance Upgrade

E30 BMW lights?

Hi,

I want to know if E30 BMW lights will work on the 116 series Alfa. I have a really good 1985 model Alfetta, with poor headlights and I'm seriously contemplating the BMW headlight retrofit.

There are aftermarket headlight kits that will fit the 3 series BMW E30.

Thanks,
Ian :roll:
