To be honest I don't know yet... I only saw it at night when I got home yesterday and it was full of pollen.
I'm sure I'll be giving it a wash soon so I can really check it and and see what I will be dealing with :rolleyes:

Ah crap I do!

FYI- gave the Alfa a quick bath tonight once the husband got home. Lol it was filthy and it's supposed to be nice tomorrow so I didn't want him driving it dirty.
It's definitely flat black.
So something good and bad.... almost 50% of the car has clear bra on it. Though that's a lot of protection, I'm not a huge fan of it. Once it looks like crap it looks like crap.
I still need to really go over it... I washed it while the sun was going down, and by the time I finished it was dark again. I'll really go over it this weekend. But it was super easy to wash, and so were the wheels :xyxthumbs:
 
Well Monica the XPEL is pretty popular, you might wanna look into that because non metallic black paint is going to be NO fun at all but you surely know that already, ofcoarse! I will NEVER have a straight black car again, I don't care what it is either, not interested. I guess the one good thing with the 4C is that its a small car, so easier to detail!

When I have the next plug change done on my car, at 60K, I will be upgrading to 4C coils, they are a direct fit for my car, so I'll have some "Alfa-ness" for my car!

I can't wait till you guys do a photoshoot of these 2! I know you said it has 4 driving modes and I think it does the same thing as my GoPedal does, meaning makes the throttle response INSTANT! I wouldn't be myself if I didn't suggest a mod and IMO the best bang for the buck is the 500Madness MaxFire piggy-back tune. If he decides to go this route make sure you tell them you have access to 93 every where, this way it makes Max power, they even have a Bluetooth version that lets you change things on the fly, if you think you'd need that, I just went with 93 maxed out, why not right!
 
I know... not looking forward to it, but like you said, at least it's small. And the spokes on the wheels are easy to clean and they are a dark grey (thank goodness).

Ha! That's awesome! I bet a lot of the 4C gas are upgrading theirs, so I bet you could get a set cheap from someone who took them off.

LOL the 2 cars will look odd together, but hey, why not?

I don't know what he's thinking for ones, mods, etc. I'm sure hes just getting used to driving it right now. I know he already joined a forum so he's already drinking the KoolAid LOL

I won't own a black car unless it has a coating on it. I sold my black BMW last fall and I think I am done with black vehicles now (although I have said that many times before and still end up with a black vehicle). I simply do not have time to keep after my own stuff anymore so I want something VERY easy to keep after for the next car.

I'm with you 100% on black cars... I won't own one again if I can help it. But it's his... and this one had everything he wanted and didn't want. The god thing is I won't be the one driving it all the time and staring at it. He's not OCD like I am, so he will be ok LOL
 
Coat it and forget it, makes for a great test bed for coatings once again 👍

I wonder if MPx is making an axle-back for it? Its the system I have and it not only flows much better but eliminates that goofy tip inside of a tip exhaust both of our cars came with. There's and exhaust that starts with A and it VERY $$$$$$$$

I mentioned coating it to him and he pretty much said do whatever I want to it.

I did think that "tip inside the tip" is a little hokey.
LOL what exhaust is that?

The Abarth and 4C have that as OEM exhausts.

Car people mod cars, LOL. That axle-back not only would sound and perf a bit better but also LOOK better, a win win 🇮🇹

...piggy back is a simple gain as well, plug and play...and play and play and play ==============
