Liking documented and believable history, I am open to real facts. So if somebody really believes that the plastic plate was an escape hatch for popping plenum, I urge them to come forward with real Alfa documents on the matter! Please also explain why there was no plate on models with similar engine in the same period. Otherwise forget the whole matter!

I think I will ignore that first sentence. Regarding documented history on this issue, I think it's right next to the official file admiting the fact that Alfettas rust, and GTV6 timing belt detensioners suck.
I suspect the reason the Milano doesn't have the plastic tray is because by the time the Milano came out, they had six years to work out the plenum pop issue so it didn't happen as often on Milanos. Further more, the Milano has more clearance between the plenum and the bottom of the hood, so even if it doesn't pop, it usually doesn't dent anything. I can't comment on other models with that engine because I have never seen any.
