Alfa Romeo is giving its cars the personal touch! The stylish Italian brand is offering owners the chance to customise their new motors. With its Unique Alfa scheme, buyers can choose from three finishes to give their purchase a bespoke look.

Harking back to the Fifties, the Vintage spec plays on the brand’s history of elegance. Hand-stitched leather trim, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and classic paint colours are all on the menu.

With multi-lacquered paints and polished alloys, the Collezione option is more catwalk than road network. The cabin features metal inserts on the dash, while soft, perfumed hide covers the seats and door pulls.

Driving enthusiasts are catered for with the Turismo Internazionale (TI) pack. Performance enhancements include lowered and stiffened suspension, along with uprated brakes for stronger stopping power. With this option, a range of larger alloys and ultra low-profile tyres is also available. The trio of special trims are on display at this week’s Frankfurt Show. Prices for the trims have yet to be announced, but they will be on offer with all Alfa models.
