Re: Is there any significance in a Red Clover Leaf?

I really don't think putting a cloverleaf badge on any Alfa is trying to make out it's something it's not. It can't be compared to putting GTA on a Twinnie for example as that is a difinitive id. the cloverleaf just represents Alfas sporting heritage and thousands of Alfisti have added them to their cars over the years.

It's down to personal taste, I think de-badged cars look naff, but thats just my opinion. loads of people want to de-badge their cars so good luck to them!

It's your bella tony, you do as you see fit.

81 'Sud 1.5 Super - '88 33 1.7 Green Cloverleaf - '92 164 2.0 Twinnie - '94 164 2.0 Twinnie - '99 166 2.5 V6 Sportronic - '00 166 2.5 V6 Manual - '03 156 2.4 JTD Veloce............If you only knew the power of the Dark Side!

Re: Is there any significance in a Red Clover Leaf?

True, so green it might be with the red going on the tank of my R6 for a laugh

MLC, invite them to a Taffia meet, they can see how 'perverted' we all are then

I might just see what they look like when they arrive...

Still, does the Quadrifoglio Rosso mean nothing?

One green; http://i2.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/c2/18/57bb_1.JPG

I have seen the green ones before, but never a red one. I thought the red might look better on a dark blue car. But, if it means nothing and green is the only colour they have been I shall get the green one.

Cheers for the helpful comments in advanced...

Tony
Go for the green one T
