Good design: The rear part of the centre console around the handbrake, secured very firmly with one screw, well done Alfa.

Bad design: The plastic oval that secures the decorative gear lever gaiter to the centre console. What were you thinking Alfa? It was broken on our old 33 and it was broken on my new one when it came to me. Once those six plastic barbs have gone into their slots how on earth are you supposed to get them out again.

Crap design - the cowling around the steering column. Often a nightmare to get back together.

All the best
