Sorry OP, but that isn't a good look IMHO - it isn't an Alfa after all!

If I changed mine at all I would go for Argenta's look. :thumbsup:

I thought the new Disco looked a little American for my liking, but the Disco Sport showed what was coming to be fair, too rounded everywhere. Back on topic!

Well, I'm still quite liking it at the moment. Would be boring if we all liked the same thing. I should imagine I'll end up sticking it back in the middle at some point.

I felt bad reading all the comments but agreed with the mass majority. Glad you've seen sense to move it back :thumbsup:

Alpha did a numberplate too one side, looked like a pig with one ear, the rest of the car looked ok though!

Yes, exactly that. Depending on how badly the dealer screwed your plate into the holder you'll have anywhere between 5 and 9 holes that need filling. Five screws hold the plate holder to the car, but if they've used screws too long to screw the plate to the holder they'll have made holes in the bumper with these too.

My car is black so I haven't bothered filling the holes yet.

Or you could do as I have if you want to remove easily for shows.
