Although opinions differed greatly about this model, the Alfa Romeo 147 became one of the Italian car manufacturer's greatest successes. Over the years, more than 600,000 units have rolled off the production line, the model has performed well on the second-hand car market, and we have seen the Alfa Romeo 147 in various races, often with podium places as the end result. Do you have an Alfa Romeo 147 with windscreen damage and need to replace the windscreen? Then you will find cheap new car windows with us without compromising on quality. We will explain how this is possible after we have looked at this special model together.
The small family car, the class in which the Alfa Romeo 147 falls, was available in two versions, the Turismo and the Lusso, and was the first Alfa Romeo with dual climate control and electronic traction control.
One of the versions that we cannot leave out on this page is the Alfa Romeo 147 GTA, the model that was given 250 hp, making it a beast that had to compete with other average family cars that were equipped with (too) much power. We could write a whole article about the V6 with its enormous power output, which the Alfa Romeo 147 couldn't really handle, but we can also let Jeremy Clarkson speak for himself, who decided to let his love of power and speed prevail in his final verdict on this version.
In 2003, a special cup was even created for the Alfa Romeo 147, the Alfa Romeo 147 Challenge. The Alfa Romeo 147 was also used by other drivers in other races, often with good results due to the model's enormous power and good road holding. For example, the 147 won the Italian Superturismo Championship in 2001, 2003 and again in 2004.
The Alfa Romeo 147 has received a lot of criticism, especially regarding the sensitivity of the steering wheel, the lack of interior space and the uncomfortable seats. At the same time, the Alfa Romeo 147 has become a resounding success, partly due to its pleasant engine sound, the power of the car and the wide range of engines available. This is clearly reflected in the production figures, as no fewer than 651,000 units of this model were produced, which is about 200,000 more than the combined sales figures for the Alfa Romeo 145 and Alfa Romeo 146.
Below you can see the advertisement Alfa Romeo created in 2001 to promote the new model in the Netherlands. What exactly the message is remains unclear, because how often have you wanted to brave a tornado in an Italian car?
Although many enthusiasts consider the Alfa Romeo 147 to be a special and unique model, the same rules apply to the 147 as to all other car models. This means that in most cases, you can continue driving with windscreen damage. However, this does not apply if the damage is in the driver's field of vision and is a chip with a diameter of 2 centimetres or more, or if it is a cracked windscreen. In these cases, the car will fail its MOT because it is no longer safe. This is due to the position and extent of the damage to the car window; this damage can distract you while driving, obstruct your view of the road and cause incoming light to reflect in unpredictable ways, which can blind you while driving.
If the damage is in a different place or is less extensive, you can choose to continue driving with the damaged windscreen. However, first take a look below to see how much a new Alfa Romeo 147 windscreen costs, because there is a good chance that you will change your mind and want to have the windscreen replaced after all.
When you choose us, you can get a new Alfa Romeo 147 windscreen for only €279, including VAT. That is much cheaper than what the Alfa Romeo dealer charges you, while the quality of the automotive glass is identical. The big price difference is hidden in the brand logo that is incorporated into the original windscreens. Although this logo does not affect the automotive glass, it does give it an exclusive character that is reflected in the price tag. The difference in price is so great that our new windscreens are often still cheaper than second-hand automotive glass for this model. If you want to be sure that you are choosing the best value for money, then our aftermarket automotive glass is always the right choice.
There are many ways to save on car parts and repairs, but replacing the windscreen of your Alfa Romeo 147 yourself using a YouTube instructional video is not one of them.

That is why we work with professional fitting partners who replace car windows on-site, both in the Netherlands and in Belgium. So you never have to drive to a workshop or garage yourself, because our partners come to you.

If you need multiple car windows or are in our vicinity, you can also choose to pick up your order (by appointment) from us.
