Just wanted to show you all the badge which sits on the back hatch of my gtv6.
Its not the usual colors, mostly blue shades. No red cross, snake is still green, but looks great with the gold rings on the outside.
Has anyone seen an alfa badge like this one before?
And if so, why is it these different colors...?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this!

That's a little bit like mine. On mine the clear protective film came off and the enamel got oxidized. The blue faded, the red turned to brown, the green went sorta black. I (carefully)used some cutting compound which removed the oxidation, but the colour is gone forever.
Yours looks like it's supposed to be this way though

Oh yes, its not faded or discolored at all. Car has been garaged its whole life.
Its meant to look like this for sure , but why, i dunno.
Hope others get to see it, maybe someone will know.....
I'll take a better quality shot of it tomorrow, car was very dirty when i took that photo.

I think your Alfa may be Greek.
A Hellenic GTV6.

For what it's worth, I just looked at my front badge and it looks the same as your hatch badge.
The car is an 83 Cali spec GTV6. I believe that the badge is stock, and despite the chip, the colors don't appear faded or changed much at all. The rear badge on this car is the usual one, with red in it.

Powderhounded-Yeah damn that badge looks very much the same, except only real difference is yours has a darker blue outside circle.
Funny how you have normal one on the rear....mine the other way around...but thanks for the photo mate, wicked.
Fortom-That would be great to see a pic of that badge, cheers fortom.
So a 156 with same color badge...wonder where this 156 came from, for someone is still doing this!! Fortom try get details on where car is from, we all know italia, but where its been from the factory, like did it get shipped from another country before it hit NZ..?
Cheers mate.
