Hi everyone...it is very weird but I lost the driver side wheel arch! How? I have no idea!
I was about to take measures for universal mud flaps when I noticed it missing. I haven't driven fast since last time I saw it, probably at the car wash? Somebody stole it in a store parking lot? All valid theories. However it happened, I need to replace it, does anyone know if these come painted from factory? Part number? I did a quick search on Ebay and found one in black but it is passenger side.

Yesterday morning I knocked out a big piece of ice on that whole side...could that have broken the seal and make it fly away when I got up to 50 MPH?? Another theory.

That sounds likely, maybe the ice loosened a couple of clips enough for the rushing air to get under it and pealed it off. But wouldn't a person see that flying by while driving? Guess, that or the car wash.

You popped a few tabs with the ice and the car wash finished it off.
No different than a patient coming to my office saying a piece of bread broke the tooth. Dig a little further and you find that the patients loves to chew ice....

This makes sense, except the arch was still there this morning and car wash was yesterday. Probably the carwash helped to loosen it up more and it just needed a little wind resistance.

new wheel arch trim comes not painted. you'll need proper side as they differ left/right front/rear.
also bear in mind depending on trim some are not painted and come from factory black - those have texture and if painted will look awfully

Dealers want $455, as @shpuncik said, not painted. Oh well, seems like I'll have to go with this option as there are no used/savaged ones advertised in the internet.

 

[shpuncik]

have you tried to look outside US? of course if you're willing to wait.

 

[pocholin]

I have tried on ebay for international shipment but still no luck. Do you have any other suggestions?

I have purchased both sides late last year and it was something like $48 at the dealer. They had to have misunderstood what you were looking for. If not I know you can call the Alfa dealer in any city, like Dallas where I ordered mine, and they will ship it.

there are different arch trims hence price difference

Thanks, I am awaiting answer on a couple of leads. Worst case I will pay the $455 for the primed arc from the dealer and have it painted. I'd rather keep the flairs color matching since I don't like the black contrast (Subaru style).

Please dont pay that much.
Order from here or some other mopar place. Genuine Alfa Romeo Molding-Wheel Flare 68372632AA | Mopar Parts

Also order the green and red clips.

Bring the arch to a body shop and they will paint it with flex paint.

Put clips on the arch and it snaps right on. I removed both the rear for a trailer hitch and they go on real easy.

Your total cost should be less than that dealer price.

Thank you and I agree with you on not paying too much. However, there's a little detail about the part you've referenced. That is the part number for the Stelvio 2.0 with rough black finished. If painted it will have texture rather than smooth finish like the QV flares. Does a paint shop have the capability to smoothen it out??

I cannot find the European Alfa Romeo flare part number 156140068 listed below:

How did you find out the part number at the Mopar site? How could I cross reference? I can't find it on my own on Google search.

BTW, the $455 does come with the green and red/orange clips

Thanks!

Let. E see if the service manual has the part numbers
