Ah, didn't look at the link, the chap who was makingit for a show is a member on here, I know he had a couple of other projects that had pushed it out of the picture and it must be taking up space in his shop.
Pity, although Ir eckon it'd need some work on the rear arches to balance the car out, but would look aweseom once finished.

Re: Alfa 156 with Brera front....
Looks messy. It has a really wide front end...
Good effort but I can help thinking......
Maybe some rear GTA arches and bumper would sort it out...

Ummm....
I am undecided, it looks ok but will never be as pretty as a Brera.

I think you're right, wider rear arches would balance it

Re: Alfa 156 with Brera front....
I don't like this hybrid Alfa ... In my opinion an Alfa Romeo must be original ... ok if you wish you can do some make up on your Alfa , but this is too much !!!

Re: Alfa 156 with Brera front....
I think this is looking pretty cool. a Brera front end with the cleaner rear end of the 156.. the 156 hidden rear door latches still looks ahead of its time.

Re: Alfa 156 with Brera front....
Needs the rear arches flaring, or as suggested, GTA arches/rear bumper.
Other than that, looks cool
Some people ask why? I prefer to ask why not?

Re: Alfa 156 with Brera front....
The point is that it's different and TASTEFULLY DONE, not like those continental morons that think every car should have an anime comic painted down the side.
