The chrome parts of the Alfa Romeo GT Bertone shape the appearance of the closed coupé and round off a clean restoration. As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo parts, we carry the chrome parts for all versions of the Bertone, from the Giulia Sprint GT via the GT Junior and the 1750 GTV through to the 2000 GTV. As bumpers, grille, trim strips, emblems and lettering differ between the versions and series, the correct assignment to the version and the year is decisive. Ordering by the Bertone name alone easily leads to unsuitable parts and avoidable returns, whereas stating version, year and the desired variant allows a reliable and matching selection. The following overview shows how the product groups of the chrome parts relate to the individual versions and years and what to watch for in the selection. The chrome parts on the Bertone are both model-dependent and series-dependent and should therefore be selected precisely by version and year. As chrome and trim parts strongly shape the appearance, a version-correct and coherent selection has a particular importance, especially on a closed coupé with clear lines.
Model and series reference
On the GT Bertone the chrome parts depend on the version and the year. Bumpers, grille and trim parts follow the respective version, for example the Sprint GT, the GT Junior, the 1750 GTV or the 2000 GTV, as form, fixing and arrangement differ between the versions. The emblems, the lettering and the trim strips also follow the version and the year and were changed several times over the years. Anyone who knows the version and the year of their Bertone can compile bumpers, grille, trim strips, emblems, lettering, exterior mirrors, hubcaps, wheel emblems and type plates precisely and without wrong orders. The version and the year are decisive in the selection of the chrome parts on the coupé. Anyone who knows these points on their vehicle exactly can assign the matching parts reliably and extend them step by step. As many chrome parts are matched to one another in form and fixing, coherent areas such as front bumper and grille should be regarded and selected together.
Shared across the range or model dependent
The chrome parts of the Bertone follow the closed coupé shape and differ in form and arrangement from those of the open Spider and the saloon. It would be wrong to assume that chrome parts are freely interchangeable between Spider, GT Bertone and Giulia, since form, fixing and arrangement depend on the body and the version. Within the Bertone versions the bumpers, grille and emblems in particular differ, because the early versions deviate from the later ones. Common over several years are individual trim strips and small parts, but the large visible chrome parts follow the version. The round chrome exterior mirror, for example, belongs to the first series and differs from later versions. Anyone wishing to use chrome parts from another stock or a donor vehicle should therefore check carefully whether they suit the version and the year of the Bertone, since bumpers, grille and emblems in particular deviate clearly between the versions. So individual small parts are the same over longer periods, but the large visible chrome parts follow the respective version.
Part types and product groups
The range of the chrome parts is divided into several groups. These include the bumpers depending on the version, the grille, the trim strips, the emblems and lettering, the exterior mirrors, the hubcaps, the wheel emblems as well as the type plates in several variants. As the Bertone was built in many versions such as Sprint GT, GTC, GTA, Sprint GTV, GT Junior, 1750 GTV, GTA Junior, GT Junior and 2000 GTV, bumper and grille are to be chosen depending on the version and the year. There are also fixings, rubber pads and small parts, which are easily overlooked during a restoration but are important for a clean fit of the chrome parts. The round chrome exterior mirrors and individual trim strips also belong to the chrome and trim area on certain versions and are series-dependent. These groups cover the visible chrome and trim parts from the bumpers via grille, trim strips and exterior mirrors through to emblems and lettering and can be selected by version and year, so that a step-by-step restoration remains easy to plan and individual parts can be replaced one after another.
Differences by year, series or version
The most important difference lies in the bumpers and grille, which differ depending on the version, for example on the Sprint GT, the GT Junior, the 1750 GTV and the 2000 GTV, and differ in form, fixing and arrangement. The emblems and lettering also follow the version and the year, and the round chrome exterior mirror belongs to the first series. Anyone ordering parts should therefore state version, year and the desired version so that form and fixing match. Even with apparently similar chrome parts a close look is worthwhile, because small differences in form, length, holes and fixing decide whether a part fits without adaptation and in the end sits cleanly and flush on the body. Anyone renewing the chrome parts should therefore choose the parts matching the version and the year rather than mixing parts of different versions, as otherwise form and look are not coherent and the appearance suffers.
Notes on selection
For a reliable selection it is advisable to determine the version and the year of the Bertone before ordering and to decide which chrome part is needed. A photo of the existing part and its fixing helps with assigning the correct version and year and avoids queries when ordering. The matching fixings and rubber pads should be ordered at the same time when changing a chrome part, as they ensure a clean and firm fit and help avoid damage to the paint. With mixed stock from several sources a comparison with the version-correct variant is worthwhile so that form, length, holes and fixing match exactly and later rework is avoided. Anyone fully renewing the chrome parts should plan bumpers, grille, trim strips, emblems, lettering and exterior mirrors together from the start and select them to match the version and the year. As a manufacturer and spare parts specialist we advise on the correct assignment and supply both original parts and high-quality reproductions in good quality, so that even older vehicles can be fully restored.
Frequently asked questions
Are bumpers and grille the same on all versions?
No. Bumpers and grille follow the version, for example Sprint GT, GT Junior, 1750 GTV and 2000 GTV, and differ in form and fixing.
Do Bertone chrome parts also fit Spider or Giulia?
No. Form, fixing and arrangement depend on the body, the chrome parts are model-dependent and series-dependent and not freely interchangeable.
Do the emblems and lettering differ by version?
Yes. The emblems and lettering follow the version and the year and should therefore be chosen precisely.
Is the round chrome exterior mirror available for all versions?
The round chrome exterior mirror belongs to the first series of the Bertone, later versions differ.
What details do I need for a reliable order?
Version, year and the desired chrome part as well as the exact fitting position, if needed supported by a photo of the existing part.
