Second Hand Alfa Romeo 155 Aerial

The Alfa Romeo 155 was produced from 1992 to 1998 as a single generation without a significant facelift that affected the aerial mounting, so aerials from across the production run are generally compatible. That said, some 155s were fitted with a manual mast-style aerial and others with a power aerial depending on specification, so confirm with the breaker which type your car has before ordering. Always check the aerial against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not affect aerial fitment in any meaningful technical sense — the mounting point and connection are the same across the 155 range. The only difference you might notice is cosmetic, such as whether the mast finish matches your car's colour or whether you have a power or manual aerial, which is more down to individual specification than trim. Confirm the type (power or manual) with the breaker before buying.

The 155 was replaced by the 156 in 1998, and while both are Alfa Romeo saloons, the body designs differ enough that the aerial base and mounting are unlikely to be a direct swap. Aerials are quite model-specific in terms of their mounting hole size and surround, so using a part from a different Alfa model carries a real risk of poor fitment. Check with the breaker whether the specific part number or mounting dimensions match before purchasing.

The 155 did not receive a major structural facelift mid-production, so the aerial mounting position and type are broadly consistent across the 1992–1998 run. Minor specification changes between early and late cars mean it is worth confirming with the breaker that the aerial from a donor vehicle matches yours in type — particularly whether it is a manual or electric unit. Quoting your registration to the breaker is the safest approach.

Power and manual aerials are not a like-for-like swap, as the power unit requires an electric motor, wiring connector, and often a relay, which a simple manual mast aerial does not have. You could fit a manual aerial as a functional workaround, but it would require blanking or adapting the original mounting and leaving the original wiring unused. If you want a proper replacement, ask the breaker specifically for a power aerial from a 155 to ensure the mounting and connections match.

Give the breaker your full registration and confirm whether your car currently has a manual or power aerial, as these are the two main variables on the 155. The breaker should be able to tell you what type of aerial the donor car had and whether the base fitting matches. Findapart connects you with multiple breakers so you can compare what each has available and ask these questions before committing to a purchase.
