Title: 156 Monza sport
Post by: ukalfa on September 23, 2014, 07:47:07 AM
hi to all alfa lovers! I'm in the UK and trying too keep my 156 basically original but yet different to any other on the the road. I recently come up.with the idea.of recreating the monza version...but in the UK as it.was never released here. So I have the sportpack which inside.matches. The carbon centre and dark dials ext. However outside.needs matched and wondering if.anyone could supply pictures.of.cloverleaf badge positioning, the sideskirts and the.spoiler? Also I.have the upgraded 20m lowered springs and 16" alloys. Is there any other differences?
Thanks in advance
And

If you don't get much joy, you could check the popular sites in Australia to sell cars, you may pick up the detail you are after.

The popular sites are http://www.carsales.com.au (http://www.carsales.com.au), http://www.drive.com.au/buy-used-cars (http://www.drive.com.au/buy-used-cars), or http://gumtree.com.au/ (http://gumtree.com.au/).

G'day UKalfa. I've owned a 2.5V6 Series 1 for a couple of years which I understand is the Monza pack (leather interior, leather steering wheel, faux carbon fibre console, 6sp, lowered, 16in teledials, skirts - but no spoiler). But there aren't any badges or decals at all (not even 156 or 24V) on it.

Couple of pics attached kind of indicate ride height and skirt position - don't know if that helps.

I think its been covered here in the forum before that the different suspension is not a Monza pack feature. Many Monza cars also had the sports suspension, but many also (like my 156) did(does) not.

mine has the skirts, momo (no electrics) seats, faux CF center console trim, and different instrument dials (not white, but black with orange lettering and backlighting).

the cloverleaf badging is on both quarter panels below the indicator repeater lamps and to the left of the 156 badge on the LHS of the boot. I don't think I have any pics sorry

I've only ever found reasonably matching cloverleaf badge replacements from a site in Japan (name escapes me now). over time the green enamel fades, becomes brittle, cracks and pieces fall out. The cloverleaf badges are chrome with green enamel, not gold with green enamel, which are often seen on ebay.

Monza wheels are whichever alloys came with that engine. as above for the V6, my 4cyl is different but like most other standard 4cyl 156 alloys
