The body of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Berlina determines the shape, stability and value retention of the four-door saloon and is the basis for a safe and cleanly standing vehicle. As a manufacturer, supplier and spare parts specialist for classic Alfa Romeo parts, we carry the body parts for the early Giulia, the Giulia Super, the Nuova Super and the Berlina 1750 and 2000. As front, rear and add-on parts differ between the versions and years and the Berlina has its own body, the correct assignment to the series and the year is decisive. Ordering by the model name alone easily leads to unsuitable parts and avoidable, costly returns, whereas stating version, body and year allows a reliable selection. The following overview shows how the product groups of the body relate to one another. The sheet metal parts are treated as one section of the body and not as a separate topic. As the saloon has four doors and its own floor group, a stable floor group, firm sills and clean wheel arches have a particular importance.
Model and series reference
On the Giulia and Berlina the body depends on the version and the year. The early Giulia appeared in 1962, the Giulia Super from 1969 to 1973 and the Nuova Super from 1974 to 1977, while the Berlina 1750 and 2000 was built from 1968 to 1977 as its own four-door saloon. The Berlina has its own body with a longer wheelbase and its own rear section, so front, rear and add-on parts can differ from the Giulia. Floor group, sills and individual repair panels were used over several years, but the exact version and the fixing points follow the year and the body. Anyone who knows the version and the year of their vehicle and distinguishes between Giulia and Berlina can compile front panel, fenders, sills, floor panels, longitudinal members and repair panels precisely and without wrong orders. The version, the body and the year are decisive in the selection of the body parts. Anyone who knows these points on their vehicle exactly can assign the matching parts reliably and extend them step by step. As many panels are matched to one another in shape and fixing, coherent areas should be regarded and selected together.
Shared across the range or model dependent
The body of the saloon follows the four-door shape and differs clearly from that of the open Spider and the coupé. It would be wrong to assume that body panels are freely interchangeable between Spider, GT Bertone and Giulia, since shape, wheelbase and arrangement depend on the body. As the Berlina has its own body with a longer wheelbase, many front and rear panels differ from the Giulia, while individual floor panels and sills can be similar. Common over several years are many floor panels and repair panels, but the exact version follows the body and the year. Anyone wishing to use panels from another stock or a donor vehicle should therefore check carefully whether they suit the version, the body and the year, since front, rear and floor group in particular were changed over the years and between Giulia and Berlina. So the floor group is similar over longer periods, but the visible front and rear panels follow the respective body.
Part types and product groups
The range of the body is divided into several groups. The sheet metal parts include the front panel, the front-end frame, the bonnet, the front fenders left and right, the floor panels, the sills, the four doors, the side parts and the rear end. Added to this are repair panels for the areas at the A-pillar, B-pillar and C-pillar, partial replacement panels for fenders as well as bulkhead panels, longitudinal members and the seat-rail mount in the front and rear floor area. The pedal panel and the holding frame of the pedal box also belong to the body area with standing pedals and are designed in a year-dependent way there. There are also small parts and fixings, which are easily overlooked during a restoration but are important for a clean and stable body. On the four-door saloon the sills, the floor panels, the wheel arches and the lower door edges of the four doors in particular are at risk of rust and are frequently renewed during a restoration. These groups cover the entire body from the front via floor and sills through to the rear and can be selected by version and year, so that a step-by-step restoration remains easy to plan and individual panels can be replaced one after another.
Differences by year, series or version
The most important difference lies between Giulia and Berlina as well as in the pedal layout and the year. As the Berlina has its own body with a longer wheelbase, front, rear and individual side parts differ from the Giulia. With the floor panels there are versions for standing and for hanging pedals, separated by the early and the later years, which makes precise selection important. Longitudinal members and repair panels are also different depending on the year. Anyone ordering parts should therefore state version, body, year and the pedal layout so that front, floor and add-on parts match. Even with apparently similar panels a close look is worthwhile, because small differences in shape, hole pattern and fixing decide whether a part fits without major adaptation. Anyone repairing the body should therefore choose the panels matching the version and the year rather than mixing parts of different years.
Notes on selection
For a reliable selection it is advisable to determine the version and the year before ordering, to distinguish between Giulia and Berlina, to check the pedal layout and to narrow down the affected area precisely. A photo of the damage and the surrounding panel eases the precise assignment and avoids queries when ordering. With repair panels it should be checked whether a partial replacement or a complete panel is more sensible, as smaller areas at the wheel arch, A-pillar or B-pillar can often be replaced specifically. With mixed stock from several sources a comparison with the series-correct version is worthwhile so that shape, hole pattern and fit are right and later rework is avoided. Anyone extensively repairing the body should plan front, floor, sills and rear 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 heavily aged bodies can be fully restored.
Frequently asked questions
Is the body of Giulia and Berlina the same?
No. The Berlina has its own body with a longer wheelbase, so front, rear and individual side parts differ.
What do standing and hanging pedals mean for the floor panels?
The front floor panels and the pedal panel differ depending on standing or hanging pedals, so this detail is important when ordering.
Do saloon panels also fit Spider or GT Bertone?
No. Shape, wheelbase and arrangement depend on the body, the panels are model-dependent and not freely interchangeable.
Are there repair panels instead of complete panels?
Yes. For many areas at the A-pillar, B-pillar, C-pillar and fenders there are partial replacement and repair panels.
What details do I need for a reliable order?
Version, body, year and the pedal layout as well as the precise affected area, if needed supported by a photo.
Do you offer reproductions?
Yes. Alongside original parts we carry high-quality reproductions in good quality, such as front and repair panels, fenders, sills and floor panels.
