My Milano Verde
Now that I own all the US models of the 164 B-Q its time to venture on! Heres the new addition to the 164 Family. I got boxes of parts with it as well.

I'm slightly confused. Your car has a lot of Verde parts on it, but the taillights and 'cloverleaf' say its a gold?
I wonder what made someone change just those parts..
It looks nice! How does it feel in comparison to the 164's?

I like it RWD kicks a**! I had the same idea about the lights badge etc but I got the (Verde) window sticker with a whole lot of other parts as well. Do you have a pic of the stock tail lights are they all red or what?
What badge came with the Verde?

The Verde had the green colored cloverleaf, (hence Verde?), and the milano Gold had the cloverleaf you have. They were color coded.
My bet would be someone stole the original and the PO couldnt replace it?
Here's two of my Verde, the rear taillights did not have the amber section, it was all red (except for the white inner area), matching the rear reflector.
The milanos are one heck of a lot of fun 
Dont mind the dirt on my clover! That was when I first bought her!! Definitely hasnt been that dirty since then!

The verde taillights are all red, except for the back-up lights. The verdes came with a green quadrifoglio, and the badge on the driver's side of the trunk lid should say "V6 3.0".

The badge was green but it has chipped away.
Does anyone have any correct lights/badge for sale?

Nice car! A lot of fun with that. Perhaps it needs only 4 nice alloys.

Lenard...
Don raised a good point. Does it look like its ever had any rear end accidents. This could be a reason why the taillights and badging is different. They may have had a Gold for parts. Just a thought. Looks very clean, nice interior. Enjoy it!

I was lucky enough to get a ride in it last night, its a nice car with full service history. I checked the VIN for Lenard while he was looking at it, carfax called it a milano green! Therefore I knew it was a verde, that is if they are accurately telling me what it is. I have never rode in a milano before, very nice car. Sad thing is, being 6ft 5in, the gear shift lever will not let me get into first gear, as my calf is in the way! Any way to lengthen the seat tracks, I would love to own a milano someday if I could fit! Congrats Lenard, nice car

While the tail lights may have been replaced, the badge is probably original.
As Lenard said, the paint chipped away, leaving a Gold Quadrifoglio.
Yes, that's right, paint. That's how they made Verde emblems - by painting over other metallic emblems. I've seen some where the paint chipped off showing a Gold Quad underneath, and others where there was a Silver/Platinum (I never could tell the emblems apart) Quad underneath.
Only Alfa...

Anthony as soon as you want it! Make me a good offer. There's something down your way that I want to buy and I must sell this or my Q to make room for it. I got all the original Verde parts form APE and put them on like the badge lights (all three) and cluster. It is a good car but I have a new love that I want.
