And they will slightly alter the Alfa's original design with the bonnet sitting flush with the body, instead of having a slight lip above the front end and rather than just two, headlights, there are smaller lamps below them. Also, the Alfa Romeo shield in the grille is now open in the centre, whereas the original has bars through it. Image Credit: Supplied
