Apology to whoever owns that Alfa but I'd rather have none than wear those chrome bumpers. Aww , puke. Absolutely ruin the entire idea of this car's design.

All this talk about chrome - I've got rashes forming already :P

If you go all the way with it, window trim, etc, as on an Alfetta GT I think it will come together well — bumpers alone not so sure, but you'll be losing some weight. GV

You mean the standard Alfetta stainless trim right? Or are you actually going to chome the plastic parts? :shock:

Nothing wrong with chrome but It must be on the model it came with like the above picture. The chrome bumpers are a work of art on a giulia ss but its for that model unless byou got the shark nose

Nope. Unfortunately, the lightweight stainless Alfetta bumpers are too short across the front and require some major trimming for appropriate fit. I did this on the last car.

I thought they were kinda flimsey/cheaply made as well.

This time around, I have a set of chrome plated steel bumpers. They are very close , but just a little too long. So I will have to trim, weld and rechrome them..

all the rest of the trim is stainless

except turn signal housings, which are chromed.

So, can you verify if it is faster after chroming compared to before :lol:
