159 Mafioso Edition



It might seem like I´ve been photoshopping these images under the influence of vodka and crack-cocaine, but no. It´s just black and white. The car actually looks like that. The bizarre effect is created with a thin coat of matte black foil right on top of the original paintwork, which originally has a bright silver colour. The result is an Alfa Romeo 159 Ti looking like something you only find on websites with extensive warnings of adult content.







The 19 inch wheels finished in gunmetal grey paint only adds to the overall angriness of the car. Amazingly, looking at it in real life it somehow manages not to be tacky or tasteless. It´s as close to vulgar as you can get without actually crossing the line and becoming a full-on pimpmobile. But it´s definitely a mean looking car. I wouldn´t be at all surprised if the windows wound down while passing slowly by, exposing a fully loaded machine gun...

  1. Vurderer å kjøpe noen slike til 159 SW, problemet er at den er strombolig grå og jeg vet ikke hvilken farge som er best da : /
    Men du tar virkelig noen episke bilder, keep on bloggin'

  2. Tenker du på Ti-felgene eller den sorte folien..? Hvis du tenker på felgene, ville jeg klart gått for de originale sølvfargede felgene. Det ser nydelig ut mot Stromboli. Har en 159 SW Stromboli med 19" Ti-felger et sted tidligere i bloggen her. Bla deg tilbake og se..! :) Tusen takk..! :)

  3. Det er definitivt en pimp-mobile, uansett hvor mye du prøver å bortforklare deg.

Automotive photography served with a side of motoring journalism

This blog has been created as a general creative outlet both photowise and writing. I try to emphasize the dramatic aspects of my photo objects in various ways, and if I have anything to say about them (or other things), I probably will. Please feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy..!
