Flusso gt. Flow. GT. Mx5s have good handling so thought flow might work well. Funny enough lusso means luxury .

Sounds like good progress being made. Are the lights unusual - any photos?

I've gone for the double headlight version so like the gtv. Also have the heart shape that makes it an Alfa but will prob have that sprayed black to go with the mesh. Also gone for the wider tailights gtv again.

The roof line is eventually going to work with the mx5's roof and the door windows. So if you think like the lancia fulvia coupe hf it'll bit like that but lower and fitting in with window line scale. I really like the boot angular

Bit stuck on door handles . Was thinking of adapting what's their using a metal plate in the shape of the Alfa handles so its raised to flow with the doorskin.

Went for the Alfa handles in the end. Arrived today at 1pm. Along with the seals. Just need some taillight bulbs to finish the electrics. I've gone for a db radio so can get a clear signal.

Dear dsg4me. Chris and I have been looking at using the windscreen of a reliant scimitar as the rear screen just wondered if you could see how that looks on the Alfa Italia mix you came up with. If your able to do it by scale then can see the angle it creates . The Italia Alfa is looking more possible:-)

Thanks proof in the pudding. Chris has got a roof and glass surround so one step closer. Hopefully it'll line up some how. Looks good for the roofline.

Yep I would of elongated the rear. Front looks great but the profile could do with lowering.
