Alfa Romeo GTV 916 Engine Bay Refurb

[general_piffle]

Just had the engine bay of my 916 Busso refurbished. Looking rather sparkly now. Very happy

Stunning, an engine bay that should be clean as its nearly as good looking as the car itself

Looks great. Having had four of these over the years I know how they can easily look grubby

 

[Andyk]

Beautiful. One of the best looking V6 engines ever.

 

[CatmanV2]

Shiny!

Had 3 of them from memory

Stunning….

Lovely, I need to get mine done...this helps spur me on.

Hopefully, it'll stay that shiny, looks great.

Like the standard look. Too many done with fancy coloured hoses and rocker covers, carbon bits etc. Each to their own of course, but that’s the way I’d go with mine too.

I agree, needs nothing to take away from the chrome intake tubes.

Looks very nice. @general_piffle Who did you use to do the refurb?

My 156 GTA engine bay is immaculate:



The 916 GTV Cup not so much:



Love them both though!

Thanks! I am armed with XCP Clear Coat Rust Blocker, ACF-50, and detail brushes...

Indeed. Why gild a lily?

GTA bay look lovely! It was Lynford the Head Technician at Autolusso Bournemouth, he's a great guy and just as pedantic as me when it comes to details.

My P3 Spider I last did, my current 3.2 GTV needs the same treatment.
