I would rather have the Quadrifoglio, paying tribute to what it stands for, than a look-alike Ferrari shield.
The drawing is the centuries old official emblem of the city of Milan, and it's a snake which in Italian is sometimes called a "biscia", hence "biscione" meaning big snake.Think the drawings on the shield refer to one old North-Italian clan defeating another a few centuries ago.
Nice! Looks good man!I was hesitant as well but/images/smilies/smile.gif
What what what... S. B. = Samer Badaro... No???I see that the Giulia Quadrifoglio has the 4 leaf clover shiled, and it looks pretty snazzy. That said, it is a Quadrifoglio line car, my 4C isn't, so I feel like putting the QV emblem on mine is akin to putting AMG emblems on a non-AMG Mercedes.
I was looking for alternatives, and saw the "Scuderia Biscione" shield (pic attached). Is this like an actually thing? Does anyone have one on their car? If so, what size did you use? Do you have pics? Is there a place that sells emblem versions, or only stickers? View attachment 88994
Yes! That looks great, red car, CF roof, it gives me an idea how it'd look on mine and it looks good! What size did you get? Is it a vinyl decal style or like a straight up sticker that will get we and peel off in the rain? Is it easy to apply? Would it be easy to remove without damaging the PPF I have on the wings? I could totally roll with that if it's a decal.Here is mine
That's fair. I haven't been to the museum yet, but intend to go on a trip to Italy next year and check it out. Looking at past models I definitely agree that the #C cars seem to be Alfa's halo models. I saw a carbon fiber engine cover with the QV emblem so I might get one to show the Alfa tradition and bring some good luck. Plus, I live down the street from Laguna Seca, so she'll be seeing some track time.Agree with not worrying about the "AMG" analogue. The QV was originally applied to bring luck in competition. It wasn't until much later that it signified the high-performance version of pedestrian cars. As the 4C is the current "race" car in the Alfa lineup, I think it is entirely appropriate -- especially if it sees the track.
I maintain that Alfa cars with the designation "#C" are Alfa's most special cars
Ooooh, yeah, that's steep. As long as it's a vinyl decal and won't get damaged by the elements I wouldn't mind if it's not an actual badge. Plus that means I can take it off if I get tired of it.I really wanted to put this yellow shield on, but the problem is that its a sticker. Stickers on a $74K coupe.....eh so I had a company quote me to make an aluminum badge...ugh $650....loose loose lol
That's true. In that case, that makes a lot of sense and a good case for the QV. I have seen some CF engine covers with the QV emblem that look pretty sharp.It is not inappropriate to adorn a 4C with a proper quadrifoglio....the true essence and history of the quadrifoglio pretty much opens the door to you embracing the good luck and carrying on the tradition.
That positioning looks spot-on.I put one of Roberts stickers on mine. I moved it forward slightly so that the point is in line with the edge of the indicator. Its onto of the PPF and would be easy to remove.
I like it but each to there own. Some ferrari's only have a sticker.
BTW Robert is a great guy to deal with.
Use the forward edge (tip) of the oval indicator as a reference, draw vertical line straight up and then measure 100mm or 4 inches as the position for the tip of the shield. I used thin lining tape to do this.That positioning looks spot-on.
Did / could you take any measurements and post them? For example, xx.y centimetres from the indicator, xx.y from the wing-gap, xx.y from the mirror-strut, and so on.
