Over the years Ive seen a couple Alfa Romeo's that had a rear spoiler that seemed to be fitted as standard. They look like 156's but Im not entirely sure. Ive looked on the net but cant seem to find any suitable pics. They appear to have a sort of subtle body kit. Also if it helps the majority are silver that Ive seen.

Would just like to know what exact model they are with maybe a few pics.

Cheers guys

Are you refering to the high wing?

Is was fitted to Sport pack 2's on early models and available as a option on later models.

I thought the tall spoiler was fitted to sport pack 3 cars? I am maybe wrong.

Like this http://www.m-99.co.uk/Car_Bodykits/Alfa_Romeo_156/...

There is also a smaller spoiler available.

Not sure about the the SP3's, I thought they were essentially SP1's with Leather. I SP2's had the recarro seats and the high wing.

A rear spoiler was never fitted as standard (thankfully!).

There were two dealer fit options - low level (I think with brake light) and the high Supra style ridiculous job.

All Sport Pack cars (pre-2001) had side skirts so maybe this is the bodykit the original poster meant. IIRC Sport Pack 1 had standard seats, Sport Pack 2 had cloth Recaros and Sport Pack 3 had leather.

After 2001 Sport Packs simply became known as Veloce and could be specified with optional leather trim (LT) or optional black leather Recaro sports seats.

Ah thats it. I remember there being a brake light on the spoiler. Doesnt suprise me it was a dealer option but I think it looks rather nice and suits the car.

Thanks for all the info guys

Not sure about the spoiler but none of those skirts are the ones fiited as standard on sport pack or Veloce's. The proper ones suit the car...

I have a SP3 without the rear wing so i'm guessing it was a dealer option either for the big or small jobbie. Think my cars had a smack though so wont put money on it. I think the big wing models had stronger boot struts to cope with the xtra weight!!

If you are refering to the body kit on the car in the picture, then no that is not a factory fit.

It looks like the official Alfa Accessory bodykit - which is made by Zender, so good quality stuff. It would have been dealer fitted though, rather than factory.
