GTA front bumper for regular 147

I had one of these fitted to my 147... http://www.zender-tuning.com/alfarom...worldwide.html It was sold through Alfa dealers in the UK as part of the official body styling kit for the mk1 147...I'm not sure if it's still available from dealers though. If you're interested I might still have the part numbers around somewhere. Regards Ross |

> had one of these fitted to my 147... > > http://www.zender-tuning.com/alfarom...worldwide.html As a previous owner of various Alfas (straight 4 and boxer) I really have to ask, is that bumper really an improvement? It is so close to standard! It would have cost more than a few quid to buy, fit and spray, was it really worth the cash to have one without the vents? Artie |

Hi Artie When I bought the car the body kit(front & rear bumpers, side skirts, hatch spoiler) had already been fitted by the dealer...I thought the kit made an already great looking car look even better, and as the car had been pre-registered there was a deal to be done. Obviously styling is down to personnel taste, but to me the worst styling point on the standard car is the black rubber strips in the bumpers, and the kit does away with them. The mk 2 147 is close to the style of the body kit too. Don't know what you mean about not having any vents, though? Regards Ross |

I was looking at the vents between the lights and the grille. Life was so much easier when I had my last couple of 33s, even though they had P4 alloys, I still kept the rest standard!
