Just found this channel. Some seriously helpful videos, thanks ! ... and my local Alfa franchised dealer quoted me 4.5 hrs labour to remove the bumper whilst sucking air through his teeth. Meanwhile you've shown it can be done leisurely in about 5 minutes .... !!!
thanks - I needed this video to look for the fog lights connector ... my repair shop didn't connect these and I thought I can make it myself now, but it seems it's not doable without removing the bumper
Useful video, thanks! I want to service / replace the bonnet lock on my Brera as the pull release catch seems loose / worn and takes an age to get hit or miss aligned just right to lift the bonnet. it looks an easy job to replace - just bolt off / bolt on right?
Love the channel great videos and guides! Although I am refitting a bumper to a spider and it just isn't flush where the bottom of the wing is. It sticks out on both sides and wondering if some clips are missing. I can see a hole on the inside of the wing but nothing attaches to it 🤦♂️
Thanks for this perfect guide. But many 159's are also suffering from the gaps between scudetto and hood after removed&fitted the front bumper for some reason. I find it quite disturbing, I hope you will make a video to show how align hood and front bumpers.
Your videos are just amazing! To remove the front grille, does it needs to take the bumper off? Also if it does, when the bumper is off the car is easy to remove the grill? Thank you
Hello. what about the fog light wiring cable. If there is no engine undertray, will it just hang there and scratch on the road? Or is there a way to tuck it in somehow? thanks
@Italia Autos Great videos. Just out of curiosity, are those wheels done in Plasty Dip, they don't seem like original Gun Metal colour that was on latter TI. Still they look good, might try that on mine.
Love your videos, do you call those "bolts" star drive bolts that fix the headlight carrier and bumper to the cross member. I need to buy some new ones and need to know what size too ofcourse. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi, thanks so much for this video. I think it is necesary first to remove the bonnet lock before the bumper. In some way it is attached to the bumper. Am I right? Great channel for Alfa lowers!!
Hi, im getting the "Parking help not available" warning. I went to a mechanic and he pluged the diagnostics in the car and it revealed that my front-right parking sensor isnt working like it cant register it. How do i change the sensor, and are there any specific ones i need to find like one with the same serial number etc. and to i need to reset the warning after putting a new one or will the parking assistance work immediately?
Just ran into your channel in the past couple of days, some excellent stuff for an Alfa fan like myself :) Keep up the great work

The bonnet latch lever on that car is broken too!
Just ordered a replacement, this vid will help with the replacement, which I hope will be easy.
Yeah its easy.
Just been quoted 65 quid for an hours labour to change the front grill.... sounds incredibly dear now that I've seen this 5 minute video!
Just what I needed, thanks!
thanks, I’ve been dreading this job.
Appreciated your video, thanks sir ❤
Thanks for the comment.

just bad fitment or alignment.
It was... The wings were both out!

its just a case of a lot of fine adjustment to get it perfect.
Very helpful, thanks.
Ty it was really helpful
Very helpful video!👍
Can I fit a brera fender on a 159?
Thanks. And yes it will
@@ItaliaAutos thank you 😊 👍
Your videos are just amazing! To remove the front grille, does it needs to take the bumper off? Also if it does, when the bumper is off the car is easy to remove the grill?
Thank you
you can do it by removing all the top screws but id just take bumper off as 9 time out of 10 screws are seized on the grill
@@ItaliaAutos thanks buddy

thanks!
Can I fit a Brera front bumper on a 159?
Yep
what about the fog light cables? will they just hang down there if there is no undertray?
Cable tie them up.
Very nice video! Thank you!
Is this necesary to remove the headlights or could they be removed with the bumper on ?
yes
@Italia Autos Great videos. Just out of curiosity, are those wheels done in Plasty Dip, they don't seem like original Gun Metal colour that was on latter TI. Still they look good, might try that on mine.
They had had a bad paint job at some point.
Love your videos, do you call those "bolts" star drive bolts that fix the headlight carrier and bumper to the cross member. I need to buy some new ones and need to know what size too ofcourse. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Torques bolts
@@ItaliaAutos marvelous. What size sorry to be a pain🙄
Hi, thanks so much for this video. I think it is necesary first to remove the bonnet lock before the bumper. In some way it is attached to the bumper. Am I right? Great channel for Alfa lowers!!
Hi thanks for watching. Not attached in any way to the bumper.
@@ItaliaAutos Great news!! Thanks for your fast answer. Best Regards
Thank you very much.
Can I remove the grill without removing bumper? Thanks
nope
@@ItaliaAutos thanks
My dad has one and I reversed it and ended up breaking the bumper and wheel arch and a part fell off and he was pissed off
whoops.

Yes
