Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / October 2005gta undertray
Anyone know of a cheap(ish) source for 156 GTA engine undertray? Now broken my third. That's the Herefordshire country lanes for you! Steve Byatt Try www.zeatek.com ... they make aluminium trays. Don't list a GTA version but the V6 one might fit. ... I'm sure he will make one though! Gazza > Anyone know of a cheap(ish) source for 156 GTA engine undertray? Now broken > my third. That's the Herefordshire country lanes for you! > Steve Byatt Thanks Gazza... they do make one for the GTA.. now waiting for price. Steve Byatt 149 EUR here... http://shop.alfisti.net/Tuning-Styling/Alfa-Spider-GTV/Motor-Airfilters/Aluminum -Engine-Guard::2924.html  SignatureThanks, Andrew Makinson www.buy-a-pixel.com > Thanks Gazza... they do make one for the GTA.. now waiting for price. > Steve Byatt Thanks Andrew... although when you come to order it, there's a 25 Euro surcharge for the GTA and 16.50 delivery. The earlier link (zeatek) was 149 including shipping (and nothing extra for the gta!). I sent them an e-mail on Sat afternoon and had a reply (from Denmark?) by Sat night. Impressed so far! Steve Funnily enough, Does anyone know where I can get a standard alfa 156 undertray from? And howmuch it will be? Mine seems to be drooping on one side... it might just need a new screw??? hopefully?

When I got mine from a main dealer about a year ago, it was 80UKP excluding fitting as it was off for the service anyway (how kind of them!). SignatureZ Scotland Alfa Romeo 156 2.4JTD Veloce Leather 'Oil' be seeing you.. (Email without 'Alfa' in subject are auto-deleted..sorry!) While on the subject of undertrays keep a close eye on the metal brackets that the front sides of the tray mount to just at the back end of the front bumper and inside the wing cavity. These appear to have a tendency to rust!! Yes ... the "R" word on a 156. Both of mine have rusted completely away and I know of other owners where that has happened. The parts are available from the dealers but the drivers side looks a pig to change as the horns, washer bottle, etc and all attached. It doesn't make a big difference on the original fibre tray but if you are contemplating an ali one you might need the extra fittings to support the weight.

Was thinking of getting a 156 myself but now I have read your message and living in Herefordshire myself, I don't know what to do! Thanks for the confusion!

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Thanks for the confusion! >Jane I admit to having missed the start of the thread. FWIW I have the similar road conditions here in rural Lincs. Can you not use the aluminium undertray, or am I missing the point? I don't have the lowered suspension but I have never had a tray break. It has bottomed out a few times :-) but not broken. Were you thinking of buying a 156 with the sports pack Jane? If not I would not let this worry you about you choice.

Cheers Tony >I was thinking of the V6 24valve Just think how much you can save on not bothering with stereo equip and discs. The engine will give you the best music going :-) Pete Signature<iowna156@rustclubalfa.com> 156 2.0 TS (2001) - Proteo Rosso >>I was thinking of the V6 24valve > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Pete Nice one Pete! Particularly pertinent presently as I have no stereo/radio on Peugeot 306 due to garage disconnecting battery..... Jane I'm led to believe that the GTA's tray is a bit lower than other 156s; and yes I can fit the aluminium one (and will); and I had a 2.0 GTV before this and two of those ended up broken as well. And no I don't drive like a total nutter! The other problem are those speed humps that don't gp all the way across the road. If there's no traffic and I can get 1 wheel on the hump, then fine; otherwise they also do a bit of damage unless I almost stop. (If you live in Herefordshire, I mean the ones on the road near the station!) Apart from that (and ignoring cambelts and dealers)- go for it!

Will look forward to it! Did come across a particularly unpleasant car salesman in Bristol yesterday though, with view to buying a 156.....needless to say, I didn't! Thanks for the advice Jane |
