Washed, polished, waxed, head unit fitted and working.

Work to do:

HIDs (Kit sent was wrong one for reflector / clear lens headlamps)
Reversing sensor (need to order new numberplates, as rear one needs
moving upwards / downwards slightly to fit it, and the front one is
mounted a few cms too far towards the centre for a 156)

No other mods planned, other than perhaps a K&N panel filter, to cut the
cost of replacement on servicing.

It is lowered 15mm and on +1" wheels from the factory compared with
non-Veloce models anyway.

Plugged it into AlfaDiag and everything was all clear - except the known
airbag error - need to reset that once I've got a modded cable.

Did you just say 'lowered'. Do you plan to drive on any UK roads? Mine isn't
lowered and scrapes on every single speed bump it sees!
