Special Edition Updates
Alfa Romeo has released an updated version of its 147 Collezione (collection) model for 2008 in the UK. Customers can now choose from new paint combinations, including the option of a Ghiaccio White special paint finish.The new version boasts exclusive 17 inch alloy wheels and the option of a black gloss roof, which essentially means that they just paint the roof of your 147 black.
The 147 Collezione also comes with a lowered suspension which has apparently also been uprated for a more entertaining driving experience. Engine options include a 1.6TS petrol or 1.9JTDM diesel engine, both producing 120 bhp. Prices start at £13,950 for the 1.6TS 3-door and the before mentioned black roof paint option will set you back an extra £500.
