  1. I hate driving around with a light on the dash let alone a bulb or two playing up!
  2. Look good in black - very 'Angels and Demons' Film spec...... (yes check this Tom Hanks film out if you were not aware ) Those base wheels are too small though. I was pondering with getting a set of 18" T-jet Bravo wheels as per the Momo cars but quite like my 17"'er's (plus the rubber will be cheaper!)
  3. Not Chrysler specific as such but if you want a great Indy - Try Paul Gilbert @ http://www.motor-mech.co.uk/index.asp- central Birmingham - right outside the Bull Ring. Italian specialist but he can sort out anything on any car...........
  4. That blue one did catch my eye though - Quite a rare colour on the Delta but I'd never buy a base spec in any car.
  5. Just to update this and confirm it is possible to order any Delta 3 part as long as you have the correct Part Number direct from your local friendly Fiat Dealer.

  7. Great Stuff Alcantaradelta - would love to see some pics and hear experiences of the Maser. The only thing that puts me off slightly is the parts - Motor-Mech in Brum who I know/use have just had to change a rear Diff on one. £2k for the Diff alone direct from Italy! I've actually also been perusing the Quattroporte. The post 2014 cars look bang up to date and look great value to me. Also love a GT Mikey - 4.7 please - the early 4.2's are crazy cheap now but again I suppose its the servicing/parts that put people off. I went to the factory in Modena in the early 90's and have been hooked ever since ............ Still a great name
  8. .............alas......it was but a dream................
  9. Nice one Mike - Is that Alan's car on there I see as well?
  10. Sorry guys to confirm - are we saying Bravo Springs are identical for the Delta?
  11. Yes! Especially with Chocolate Brown leather and the 21" wheels....................please I will probably become the re-badge specialist before then though as my eldest is 17 this year. He'll be after a cheap 500 but we've also spied up Ypsilon's for a badge-exchange as well. (secretly looking forward to one of those as another car as well!)
  12. Nice one Mikey - I'll give you a shout when I'm ready for one then
  13. I have thought and looked in to that Alcantaradelta! The revised FCA 300C/Thema's are a bit too much for my liking still though but I do have a Lancia Grill 'watched' on Italian ebay - just in case! There was an imported LHD Thema in the UK recently for sale but they still wanted big money. Nice to hear you were 'inspired' by mine though so cheers................... Mine will be stopping for a while yet - The wife has just had a 500X so will be a bit before I change my daily. Between us if I can stretch to it I've got a Ghibli in mind next
  14. Cheers Cassino and welcome to the S3 Deltisti crew BTW
  15. Shocked Mikey! Us S3 Old-timers need to stick together - gotta have someone to moan to! Glad to see you are looking to get back in to the fold Alcantaradelta. i was suprised when I saw your old one go. The Delta is a classic in the like of so much Italian stuff - yes they are not the best to drive but family car £ per rarity there's not much to beat them. I would have had that Momo S from Italicar if i had known about it.
  16. Yes it was me with the Screwey that did a runner! Like Alan says its the clips that are the problem and keeping the clip retained whilst trying to refit back in to its slot will make you curse like a trooper (not that I don't do already!)
  17. The other very annoying thing with the Delta rear light units - especially for those with light/white cars - is there is a small gap between the black plastic rear casing and the the clear lens which allows over time water to flow around and gradually 'green moss' up! I removed both my rears the other day and its virtually impossible to get anything down inbetween to clean. By removing the lights allows you to clean around the bodywork edges nicely but very annoying you cannot get in to that gap. Only suggestion would be a high pressure air line to blast it out if you are fortunate enough to have access to one.
  18. You can buy glass cutter paste to Demist them or get them polished. Does your car have the ones that move with the angle of direction?
  19. Yes I'd much prefer the non-Nav radio to display a clock when not in use..............
  20. I find the clock annoying on the Delta - why put an outside temperature display on both the centre console and the dash - but just one tiny clock on the dash.

    Spare Wheel

    Highly likely although I haven't tried! Pretty sure the hubs are the same - the 18" Bravo T-Jet Alloys are the same as the ones on the Delta Momo S. I think Rosso has bought a spare
  22. Dido any more photos of your car lowered? Love to see one of the complete car? Here's the eper link Mikey - http://eper.fiatklubpolska.pl/navi?COMM_MODEL=DEL&SBMK=L&COUNTRY=099&DRIVE=S&MAKE=L&LANGUAGE=3&ALL_FIG=0&RMODE=DEFAULT&KEY=VERSION&EPER_CAT=SP&GUI_LANG=6&ALL_LIST_PART=0&PRINT_MODE=0&PREVIOUS_KEY=HOME&SB_CODE=-1&WINDOW_ID=1
  23. Welcome bairn - £425 each!!!! I think you are being had............ Touch wood I've not a had spring go yet (that'll do it!) but hopefully one of the other guys in this thread should be able to advise. I think Penguin used Bravo springs which are about £100 a pair. I've just had a quick look on eper - FCA usually cross reference parts which are the same but used on different models/cars but the Delta's are listed as Lancia specific although as mentioned Penguin has used Bravo ones and to be honest the references diagram on eper look identical to me for both Delta and Bravo (although obviously that does not indicate techincal changes (disclaimer!)) Bravo JTD springs on shop4parts are about £90 a corner.
