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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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 🤦♂️
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?

Ottimo grazie 👏👏

They had had a bad paint job at some point.

its just a case of a lot of fine adjustment to get it perfect.

Torques bolts
@@ItaliaAutos marvelous. What size sorry to be a pain🙄
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

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
what about the fog light cables? will they just hang down there if there is no undertray?
Cable tie them up.
Is this necesary to remove the headlights or could they be removed with the bumper on ?
yes
Can I fit a Brera front bumper on a 159?
Yep
Hi Can i remove the Headlight without remove the Bumper ?

@@ItaliaAutos thanks

Just make sure it looks that same.
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.
