Used Alfa Romeo Spider Front Grille

The Alfa Romeo Spider covered in this guide is the 939-series model produced from 2006 to 2011, and grilles from any car within that generation are your starting point when searching. The front end did receive a facelift update around 2009, so it is worth confirming with the breaker whether the grille from a pre-2009 car matches your post-2009 car or vice versa, as the bumper and front panel styling changed at that point. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can verify the exact spec before you commit.

The 2007 car is a pre-facelift 939-series Spider and the 2010 car is a post-facelift version, with the facelift falling around 2009. Both sit within the same generation, but because the front end was restyled at that facelift the grille design changed, so a straight swap across that boundary may not work. Name both years to the breaker and ask them to check the grille against your registration before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect front grille fitment on the 939-series Spider — the grille is shared across variants within the same facelift period regardless of whether the car is a standard, Lusso, or S trim. You may notice cosmetic differences such as chrome surrounds or finishing details between trim grades, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can match the appearance as closely as possible. Fitment will be the same, but the look could vary slightly.

No — the engine fitted to your 939-series Spider has no bearing on which front grille you need, as the front-end panels are the same across the petrol and diesel variants within a given facelift period. Focus your search on the model year and facelift version rather than the engine code, and confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The 939-series Spider was facelifted around 2009, and the revised front end brought changes to the bumper, grille surround, and overall nose styling compared with the 2006–2008 cars. When contacting a breaker, give them your registration and ask them to confirm which facelift variant their grille came from, as mixing pre- and post-facelift front-end parts is likely to result in mismatched panel lines. A good breaker will be able to tell you the donor car's year straight away.

The Spider (939 platform) and the 159 share underpinnings, but the front-end body panels including the grille are unique to each model because the bonnet, headlights, and bumper geometry differ between the two cars. A 159 grille is very unlikely to fit a Spider without significant modification, and we would not recommend pursuing that route. Stick to grilles confirmed as coming from a 939-series Spider and confirm the facelift period with the breaker.
