Title: Alfa 147 Hatch wanted
Post by: Mark Fletcher on July 03, 2012, 12:21:30 PM
Hi all... I am in need of a 147 hatch ... I assume they are all the same as the rear does not appear any different after the facelift.


Thanks

The rear hatch of the restyled 147 is different to the original design, the tail lights are a different shape, with a different profile and extending further towards the centre of the car. There was also a chrome strip along the bottom of the panel:

Later restyled 147s didn't have the chrome strip at the bottom of the hatch, but the crease where the top of it would be still remains:

Can't help you to actually source one other than to suggest trying some local wreckers (some reputable specialists appear as club sponsors down the right hand side of the club's home page), but hope this post is helpful nonetheless - good luck.

Thanks for the info...

Is there a difference 5 door or 3 door?
