Correct Driver's Side Scoop for Veloce?

[giuliaguy]

Is this the correct driver's side air scoop for a Veloce Spider? See the thin red metal piece in the grille?

Driver's Side Air Scoop

[AlfistiSA]

The splitter in the Giulietta's is horizontal, it divides the space into an upper chamber, which feeds the driver's feet / knees, while the lower chamber, which benefits fron direct ram air, feeds the airbox.

I believe this is the same on a Giulia Spider

So what is the slightly slanted from vertical red metal piece in the photo?

[AlfistiSA]

I spoke to someone who has one & this slightly slanted piece appears to be correct. The correct engine should have a 2 piece sump, the instruments read higher, the engine mountings are different, the Tipo plate is different, the inlet manifold & air plenum are different, the cams are different, the car should run an electric fuel pump instead of the mechanical pump.

Hope this helps

Ok. Thanks Greig!

Giuliaguy,
I own 2 '65 Giulia Spider Veloces, I compared your picture to one of my cars and it is similar, except for the slanted vertical piece. Your's has a slight curve towards the top, it should just continue on with no curve. There are many other differences between a Normal spider and a Veloce spider. Rather that me listing all of them, please see Centerline's tech page at:
