Great video Calvin! Saw one of these for the 1st time today and wow they look even better in person.. loving this car on the channel keep up the good work👍
Yes then calvin!! Looking forward to the next vid on the e46 touring, been a while bigman!✌ and the 335d when its done il be defo entering the comp to win it. ive enterd llf comp for the 346 m3 aswell!
That Z1 door...man...freaky or what!!! WOW... Anyway doffs cap to Dave the trimmer...those little touches are spot on. I'm so pleased for you Calv, cloth sorted and toasty bum for winter...any chance you can give us clue about any potential mechanical mods? Anyway great to hear the E46 update is coming up. You've got so many things on the boil at the moment its hard to keep up....get those tyres sorted on the Alfa. It should improve the road handling...After waiting for so long for this car I don't want to hear about any prangs due to poor tyre grip.
Yeah he was like “and you’re sending off the steering wheel aren’t you?” And then “but you actually trim steering wheels aswell don’t you?” “Err yes” 😂😂😂
Yes calv lets go bro how long u planning on keeping the car bro it's a Beast of a car already man you gotta try race Ricky at some stage but due to the current restrictions it's harder atm but keep onit hopefully one day it will happen #ONITMovement
You know some really skilled people, where do you get your tyres. Any recommendations? I'm always worried about damage to my alloys and need a good fitter.
Out of curiosity could you tell me a price range for him just sorting the seat bolsters my cars look a little tired and wouldn't mind them being tidied up a bit.
I’ve had heated seats for two different cars golf mk4 and Audi A4 b7 and rarely used the heated seats is it just me thing? My new Lexus 450h turns them on automatically when it’s cold though.
Other than possibly some super expensive high end custom shop in the L.A. area, there aren't any places to add heated seats or to re-cover a steering wheel in the entire S.F. Bay Area where I live. You can't even get a leather seat repaired as you did in this video. The shops we have only will re-cover an entire seat using factory seat coverings. And absolutely no one will touch an air bag steering wheel in this area. (we have 8 million residents in the SF Bay Area too, like a small country!) Its too bad we don't have specialists who can do such work. I do believe there are places in the Los Angeles area who can do 'literally anything' to any car. But their prices would be astronomical. The U.K. seems to have more of these specialty shops that we have in California.
You can reset the mpg by hitting the button on top of the righthand stalk, that takes you through to mpg screen and then hold the top button down for 3 seconds. Might be different on a quad though
@@CalvinsCarDiary you're welcome mate....if it don't work let me know and ill check it out on mine. Loving your videos and im so glad you went with the Quad
Honestly I'd have left the heated seat issue alone if anything that will devalue the car later on. These cars will be worth money in 30 years but not ones that have been messed with.
Looks great, Calvin! Whenever the seats or steering wheel on my quad start to look shiny, I use a magic eraser to clean them and get that matte finish back, like new. Just be careful not to apply too much pressure as it can be abrasive. I found the UK equivalent here www.amazon.co.uk/JML-Doktor-Power-Magic-Eraser/dp/B007RDEP3Q
Heated seats, heated steering wheels, this younger generation! love the channel Calvin but WTF are you going on about? I do believe Alfa will sell you some gloves and a blanket?

E46 m3 touring wondered what’s happened
What watch is that it looks very nice
Yo massive credit to that dave trimmer guy, the way he put that heated seat buttons in....looks like its an optional extra from the alfa themselves.
I never knew about the z1 door ! Had to watch it again
Yeah man i was at a cars and coffee here in ireland and the guy got out of the z1 and i asked him can you do that again please😂
Super glad you went for the Alfa Calv, looking forward to future content. Absolutely love the videos, thank you!
Great video Calvin! Saw one of these for the 1st time today and wow they look even better in person.. loving this car on the channel keep up the good work👍
It looks absolutely mint👌🏻what a great job!
An essential upgrade Calvin , beautifully done by Dave .....top man.
Colin this is such a good car and makes for great content.
All the best ❣️
Colin 😂🤣
For £400 + vat I’ll be jogging on the spot to warm up
1st world problems right there! 😂
Just stick one of them heated back massagers in and plug it in the lighter . Jobs a good un lol
I’d just pay to heat mine and say fu$$ my passengers 😂 hahaha!!
You look unique on that Alfa mate, wish I had one. Driving an Alfa is like walking with a show girl in the street. It stands out
Yes then calvin!! Looking forward to the next vid on the e46 touring, been a while bigman!✌ and the 335d when its done il be defo entering the comp to win it. ive enterd llf comp for the 346 m3 aswell!
It's hard trying to keep up Calvin lol your time line is the like the MCU.
Dave the trimmer does great work, surprised there was no Aston Martins in his shop during your visit
Can’t wait to see what else you do it😍
Its such a unique car really barley ever see any on the road its 10 to 1 vs the bmw m3, such a lovely car!! Hope you keep it and make it your own
Love the Alfa can't wait for the mods mate your the best mate
Big man Calv getting in the heated seats just in time for Winter. Priorities and that.
Cant wait to see how this turns out! You know who to come to when you need new tyres ;)
Excited to hear about the E46 M3 Touring, the 335d and planet of dreams Calv, even if stuff is on hold - which would be fair enough 👌🏼👍🏼
Calvin the car looks great! If you get chance drop the front spoiler manually and check for stones that can a accumulate as it drops at high speeds.
Would be fascinating to see how Dave does the retrimming
That Z1 door...man...freaky or what!!! WOW...
Anyway doffs cap to Dave the trimmer...those little touches are spot on. I'm so pleased for you Calv, cloth sorted and toasty bum for winter...any chance you can give us clue about any potential mechanical mods?
Anyway great to hear the E46 update is coming up.

Yes Calvin👌👌 that z1 is sick
Good vid Calvin nice balance 👌
Well that steering wheel bit with Dave was awkward 😂😂😂😂
Wasn't awkward at all
Buster Nutt you must be good at life
Yeah he was like “and you’re sending off the steering wheel aren’t you?”
And then “but you actually trim steering wheels aswell don’t you?”
“Err yes” 😂😂😂
Yes calv lets go bro how long u planning on keeping the car bro it's a Beast of a car already man you gotta try race Ricky at some stage but due to the current restrictions it's harder atm but keep onit hopefully one day it will happen #ONITMovement
I remember the z1 on wheeler dealer with those yellow seats.
Good job they dyed them.
What's happened with the free car giveaway as well calv.
Awesome mods!
Heated seat obsessed 😆
U have chosen the right one, now have to make it a beast
Cracking car. Nice upgrades.
When you getting the front bumper sorted?
Yes Calvin love the videos
Jon you’re a legend mate thanks
Alright Calvin, definitely think your DIARY plate should go on the Alfa! Maybe AS51HOL on the M3 touring 🤔..
Ngl I stopped watching your vids when I saw the M5... But now, you've got a viewer back 😂
What scents in ur diffuser? The tom ford black orchid is awesome. Love the alfa 👍
Hi Calv - was it not possible to buy the OEM buttons and use them in the original place? (I haven’t got a clue what they look like or where they go🥴😆)
dave the trimmer must like vera noticed the reg plate on his wall cal , he's on it bud
Hey Calvin where did you get oil diffuser car freshener from please cheers Simon
Love that Alfa ❤️
Gorgeous car!Love when I see one on the road.
Because you barley see them on the road
OMG I want a Z1 because of the doors that does not age!!
The z1 is such a special car 2.5 straight 6 sound nice and cool as fuck with those doors
You know some really skilled people, where do you get your tyres. Any recommendations? I'm always worried about damage to my alloys and need a good fitter.
Calv get your plate on the Alfa 👌🏼👌🏼
Calv do you know if Dave can retrofit a heated steering wheel?
6:25 The seat belt on the rs4 are very similar styling to the golf gti mk6 edition 35
That Z1 a rare beast 😎
Only thing with Sunday uploads means it’s Monday tomorrow 😕
😂
Out of curiosity could you tell me a price range for him just sorting the seat bolsters my cars look a little tired and wouldn't mind them being tidied up a bit.
You need to put your Diary plate on that car it will look minted mate 👍
just little heads up on full lock the steering makes a noise quite loud sounds like it comes from the wheels its standard on all models
Change the tyres it goes away. Mainly due to the Corsas.
I'm curious to know why you didn't use the OEM heated seat switch?
Stunning car
Beast car!
Has an new Alfa and is already drooling over a BMW or 2 lol😂
Why did you leave your camera at Dave the trimmers place??
I’ve had heated seats for two different cars golf mk4 and Audi A4 b7 and rarely used the heated seats is it just me thing? My new Lexus 450h turns them on automatically when it’s cold though.
Man like calvin
Ooossshh!!! 🚘🚘🚘
I have been waiting for this video to come out!
I think it'd look badddd if it had a widebody conversion
No it would just look bad
@@chrissmyth9022 I don't think it would. I've seen a conversion before and it looks amazing
How long for the focus ST stage 3 vid coming
Was just wondering where dave the trimmer was based then you dropped it near the end. Right on my doorstep. Will have to check him out
Just outside of Cranfield John
Other than possibly some super expensive high end custom shop in the L.A. area, there aren't any places to add heated seats or to re-cover a steering wheel in the entire S.F. Bay Area where I live.

Where did you get the heated seats done Calvin.
Hi I have same car like yours but I get crabbing on my car when stationary manoeuvre does yours do the same
Anyone know where I can get that car air refresher
Cannot wait to watch this video. Keep it up. Stay safe. I saw a 68 plate Alfa in red for £18,000!
how much mileage doe
Not a Quadrifoglio you haven’t
Whats happening with the m3 touring build???
Would be cool to get a mk5 r32 😏😎
Never seen a z1 before !
What happened to the M3 touring Calvin
Does Dave the trimmer run a VW caddy as his work vehicle?
You can reset the mpg by hitting the button on top of the righthand stalk, that takes you through to mpg screen and then hold the top button down for 3 seconds. Might be different on a quad though
I’ll try that. Cheers mate.
@@CalvinsCarDiary you're welcome mate....if it don't work let me know and ill check it out on mine.
Loving your videos and im so glad you went with the Quad
Black z1 is nice
Didn't know you could do tha the seats lol
Boooom!!!
Beast
Hey Calv, My Corsa came with heated seats and steering wheel! 🤣 Can't understand why more cars don't spec them, They're ace!
The z1 is like a e30 325i underneath
Calvin, where is the touring?
Raaaa.....didn't even mention the porsche or the tornado red MK2 gti
Calv that car is on a different planet to Bmw s
Have you got some proper tyres on it yet?
Still loving the car Calvin, great addition,enjoy your toasty bum 😂😂
Make sure you get some michelin PS4S
Bit disappointed you didn't mention anything about "opening the flaps up" unlike the reveal video.
Honestly I'd have left the heated seat issue alone if anything that will devalue the car later on. These cars will be worth money in 30 years but not ones that have been messed with.
Beast car can’t underestimate
Erm.....what?
@RS cool story bro. You must be popular.
Same engine in the z1 as the e30 325i
Got a link to what you used for seats mate
In the description of the video mate 👆

Here's a video on using the magic eraser to clean the leather th-cam.com/video/v42tgpPRFk0/w-d-xo.html
Keep the Alfa forever
How you gonna ignore that classic Porsche in the back!?
First!
If Dave could fit it this easily... why doesn't Alfa do it?!?!
Thought about a C63 Calv?
Yep. That’s definitely on the list.
@@CalvinsCarDiary Haha gowan calv
man has a z1.
Heated seats, heated steering wheels, this younger generation! love the channel Calvin but WTF are you going on about? I do believe Alfa will sell you some gloves and a blanket?
That really is a long name for a car lol
Make sure you've got an auto electrician on speed dial 😂 😂
You must know absolutely nothing about the new Alfa Romeo’s.
