Welcome to the BB. Nice looking Spider. You'll like it here - great community - very helpful and tons of knowledge.

Your Spider looks great! I like your choice of rims(I have the same ones).

If you need information on 'anything-Alfa' you've come to the right place!

Regards.

Welcome home.

You are in luck. There are many Spider owners who think Black Spiders are the fastest kind. You will be in good company. I'm partial to Ivory Spiders, but that was by chance, not design.

Your car is very nice.

I have not seen the green clover in white triangle on a spider fender like that before. It sets the car off nicely. Do you know if it is a factory thing, or just a cool add on?

Great car.

No, I've done some home work, black ones are fastest.

Got two on my GTV6, they are from Alfa's racing tradition. I heard that in the early days the team manager put the symbol on one of two identical cars to tell them apart during races and when the cars started winning races, the symbol stuck.
