I’d like to add we never intend to sell this item, we offered it because people asked for it. This was one of our 3D printers personal project for his car. We then offered it in white because again a ton of people asked. Not for everyone I get it but hope you can appreciate we’re just trying to make parts for people. These smaller items help us build much higher quality items, and bigger products. We’re still working on a mesh clip on design but not sure if it’s possible yet.

Andd what I hope people can take away is all I’m trying to do is bring awareness and products to the brand.

Can’t wait to get mine!
 
I actually just saw someone make this, or at least offer it:

Guy does a lot of YouTube content on his Giulia so I assume he's legit.
Think this would look much better if the Alfa Romeo emblem was removed...similar to the 1st post in this thread.

Love the quality & idea tho...just a bit too busy imo

Or if it were monochrome GTAm emblems… :D

I’m not sure if this was already pointed out previously, but there is a huge diffeeence between the picture in the original post and the other option offered here. The original pot looks like they not only removed the emblem as suggested, but also replaced the grille with a more “mesh” version that has enough surface area to properly support a stencil and spray paint. The hope here is that the mesh grille doesn’t mess with the airflow too much. The spray painting on the grill makes it look better as everything stays flush to the grille.

The other option on here is a piece that sticks out of the grille. For every part of the grille it covers, there is a reduction in airflow, though I don’t think it’ll affect it too much as the surface area the add-on piece covers isn’t that much. The issue that I have is that it has depth to it, and that depth with that contrast makes it look like crap.

100% agree to each their own, so whoever thinks it looks good and gets it, more power to you. However it’s not going to stop me from point out how crap it looks every time I see it on the street, much like Civic Type Rs when I see those around. :)

You’re talking about two different bumpers not just the grill. The bumper is a GTAm and that’s how he got the grill. The product we offer is a clip on and off grill. Has absolutely 0 restrictions on airflow, it sits right on top of the crash bar. I also tested temps with my Squadra logger to validate, and there’s 0 difference. I can understand your perspective, and hopefully you’ll search future products on our website. We’ll be offering some really cool stuff towards the end of the year.

Yes, it’s two entirely different things, but I think the initial ask was trying get that aesthetic of the logo against the grill. As much as the product in question fulfils that specific ask, there is a huge difference to n the overall effect. One looks thought out and part of the entire front end design philosophy. The other looks like an aftermarket part that clips on. Neither is trying to be something beyond what they respectively are.
 
I didn't even notice @bunta_garage removed the front emblem. Is that how the GTA/m are?

Talking about 3D printing I found these guys in Australia who can do just about anything as long as it's not too big. And can send any where in the world.
The rear number plate base is designed for a European plate and looks too big and cumbersome and it can’t be removed because the three attachment points underneath are in the wrong place for Aussie plates. Also a slim line plate on its own would reveal the recess behind it. So recently I decided to hunt around for an alternative and found these guys who make the perfect solution which I think is much better and stylish than the OEM one and only $75. I've attached photos below to show you guys what it looks like, and here's the link to their website hotbedcustoms.com.au
I've also got them to do me a front one so the plate doesn't need to be bent and they tell me they have just done a couple of front ones for the GTAms.

Dry fit mine today—not going to lie, this is in direct sunlight and I like it a lot. In the shadows it adds a bit of some curiosity.

I’m going to put it on, mine has QV written on the back, but I am having some trouble figuring out if I’m snapping them in the place on the grille. I don’t want force it and break anything. It also makes me question how easy it is to remove in case I’d like to.


keeping it this color though — it has a carbon fiber look to it which I like. I had some custom carbon fiber G I U L I A pieces made too that I’m going to replace the back dark miron badging with.

Well… it didn’t hang on for very long… :( 99% sure it was my fault, some of the clips didn’t feel a perfect match for the 2022 Quad grille. I didn’t want to force them in 😬

Warranty issue?
