rvcasa 1 Report post Posted March 4, 2014 Hi there, newbie here (I'm not sure where to post correctly, so here it goes) I inherit a 2006 Alfa 156, which I love (couldn't justify the price and size of the 159 to drive short distance to work)... Anyway, my son also "forbids" me to sell it anytime, cause he loves the rear door handles! Jokes aside, what I really love on the 159, are the aggressive looks of the front headlights and since my 156 has a cracked light I thought I could upgrade to the 159s? If not, what's stopping me from removing the front (80's style) shield of the 156 headlights? Is it possible, wise or dumb? Please enlighten me. Cheers.

smiffy 99 Report post Posted July 2, 2014 Hmmmmm not sure, just looks like a 159 thought it would be 159 lights in a standard 156 body Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvcasa 1 Report post Posted July 3, 2014 Unless the whole front has had a 'face lift', it looks like a 159! The corner (where the side panels meet w/ bonnet) is round on a 156! Meaning; they would have had to also change the front 3-4 panels, plus the lights... That may well be possible, but not financially viable. Thanks for sharing. 😄 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTA 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2014 Good grief. Why would anyone mod an Alfa ? Its like trying to make Scarlett Johansson taller, removing J.Los bubble butt or adding boobs to Keira Knightley. Its just not done. They live for THEIR way, their was of being them. You want to take their identity away you lose what it is that makes them special.

rvcasa 1 Report post Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Errr... (unlike cars,) no two women look the same, yet they do plastic surgery all the time to be noticed and be wanted (- the same w/ cars) People mod their cars to be different and stand out from the crowd and/or have a car to their own taste - everyone is different. P.S. in case of Knightley it'd be an good improvement ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited August 5, 2014 by rvcasa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
