Interesting New 75/Milano Body Kit Project;
Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2005 5:23 pm
So, a gentleman by the name of Tony Schmidt (???spelling) in the club here borrowed a set of US spec. Milano fenders from me some months ago and has been tooling around his shop to try and create something individual - potentially for the 3.7 Milanos (and for others in our Alfa community...)
He asked me to post early sets pulled from the 1st set of molds and asked that I emphasize that this is just a start...
Jes and I are as of yet undecided on what the completed look is going to be and with the rumor that Brad at Alfa Riccambi may be importing a few sets of Evo kits again, I figured that this would be a good time to kick this one up...
Someone else here (to be named later) is working on his own production of a carbon fiber piece (close to an Evo kit) complete with bumpers and it is my understanding that he already has trunks...
Yes, then there are the EMC pieces out of the UK and even Ron at RS Racing has sme hoods and trunks! I am specifically starting this thread for the purpose of flushing out what is available to us here in the US as we can not all be fortunate enough to buy the original Evo pieces "down the street" from us but folks in other countries are welcome to jump in...
It is just that we need smething over here!
Shipping from Euroville kills us on this bulky stuff, so if anybody else knows of anything going on State-side in the world of body-kits for Milanos, please post hereā¦
There are some obvious issues such as the fender opening that was increased to make room for more wheel/tire (but now you have to also modify either the stock Euro bumper where it wraps around back to meet the fender line - or your little pieces behind the accordion on the US spec bumpers or your Evo kit bumper edges (should you choose to combine them with Tony's fenders...)
This initial set is in fiberglass and the asking price is around 1100 USD to start with for the 4 pieces... I am luke-warm at this stage as this is still not a complete solution, but it is one helluvan effort state-side...
