Good work on the Airbag Alcantara. Check my Lancia Martini stripes for the sills earlier in the thread (I think!) as an alternative. Great bonus with the windscreen! I don't think FCA had a choice in putting in the Chrysler badging. UK Type approval means the 'makers' branding is displayed on the glass etc. I've used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ADESIVI-specchietti-per-Lancia-DELTA-New-Pvc-Frost-Smerigliato-Stickers-Auto-/201437768159?hash=item2ee6a069df:g:GVQAAOSwHjNV-etk those to try to hide mine! The earlier - what they call 'Waterfall' grill which I have is Part No.735478276 http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u241/yardelli/Delta1_zpsanbfbnlg.jpg

Hi, yes I now realise I did not start the topic and no I did not meet you in Dartmouth. The car is 2012. I have owned many Lancia. Currently I own a coupe Fiat and a barchetta also.

Hi I can't remember if I actually started this conversation or not back in 2014 but the renewed interest in it has finally galvanised me into taking action and buying a Delta. It's a lovely multi air se in black just over 20,000 miles hope to collect it very soon and will be trawling through the old emails and probably asking some more questions so I can get it all badged correctly. I have owned many Lancias over the years. This is obviously the last chance to own a relatively new one. Can't wait to get it!

We're all Italian car enthusiasts and a few of us have owned many Alfas, Lancia's, Fiat's etc and don't really like anything about the American brand Chrysler. To give you some context, and apologies if you already understand the relationship and history but Fiat SPA (Parent company) bought Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, SRT and Mopar so they could crack the American market, and return to profit after a difficult time in Europe. In the UK it was too expensive to resurrect the Lancia brand after so many years absent, so Marchionne decided to bring the Delta and Ypsilon under the Chrysler name to a: fill a gap in the Mini and C segment market, as Chrysler didn't have anything smaller than the 300c, and b: to obviously be able to sell Lancia product albeit rebadged in the UK. This plan failed as most of the general public didn't know what they really were, and Chrysler with a ''not so great'' reputation was already struggling to shift their own product let alone some rebadged Lancia's. The second mistake was calling the Delta exactly that, as most of us old enough to remember Gruppe B days will remember the real Delta blasting sideways through a forest stage winning many rallies, and as you know this aint that! ....More of an Italian ford focus family hatchback!! I think the bottom line is these cars should have never have been badged a Chrysler, or have been called a Delta either... However we do love our marmite cars, the exclusivity, quirky Italian styling and the bargain that they really are... However they do need their identity restoring for all the reasons above!

My AC needs a regas but its not been done since I bought it so probably due anyway. And yes my car does that Mike - too little revs and the AC stops momentarily.........

The momo design s series grille looks perfect on a grey car, definitely the way to go although they are very expensive at list price, definitely best found on eBay

Hmm it's such a long time ago that most of us rebadged I'm not sure if any of us will remember the part numbers.... Isn't there some listed on this and other threads somewhere? I'm pretty sure there'll be some... The other thing is use google translate and translate what you want into Italian and the paste it into Italian eBay. There is usually loads of stuff for the Delta 3. I converted my whole car from there.

Yes I'm repeating just like that ****** Chrysler logo
