Croatian tuning studio introduces a new styling package for the Alfa Romeo Giulia
The Alfa Romeo Giulia has been in production since 2015, making it the oldest model in the brand’s lineup. The 2023 update did not bring radical changes, aside from new LED signatures and a few decorative elements. Since Alfa Romeo continues to extend the sedan’s lifecycle, the Croatian studio Gelvato decided to conduct its own “second restyling” by creating a custom styling package.
The central element of the Gelvato Giulia Hawk Edition is a redesigned front bumper, which appears to be showcased in AI-generated renders rather than photographs. The tuners claim it fits all Giulia trims except the top-of-the-line Quadrifoglio, as well as likely the limited GTA and GTAm versions.
The new bumper features sportier air intakes with a honeycomb mesh and a pronounced splitter. However, the main highlight is the faux vents next to the stock headlights, which connect them to the black trim around the radiator grille. This solution gives the Giulia a more aggressive look, vaguely reminiscent of the 159 and Brera models. The bumper is made of reinforced plastic, while the splitter is made of ABS plastic.
Aerodynamic body kit from Gelvato
Gelvato has also developed a subtle aerodynamic body kit for the Giulia, which is already in production. It includes a splitter, sharper side skirts, a rear diffuser with two exhaust tips, and a rear spoiler. The company does not offer any chassis modifications or engine performance upgrades.
Pricing and availability
Pre-orders for the Hawk Edition are already open, with availability expected starting October 1. An unpainted front bumper and splitter cost €670 ($760), while the Stage 2 kit with the mesh costs €770 ($880). In both cases, the car retains the stock headlights and radiator grille.
As for the aerodynamic body kit from Gelvato, the splitter costs €220 ($250), side skirts — €280 ($320), the diffuser with exhaust tips — €480 ($550), and the rear spoiler — €205 ($230). The entire set can be purchased as a bundle for €950 ($1,100).

This move by the Croatian studio is an interesting response to the manufacturer’s extension of the model’s lifecycle. Instead of waiting for an official update that may never come, Gelvato offers Giulia owners an affordable way to refresh the car’s appearance. It is worth noting that the prices for individual body kit elements are quite democratic, which could make this package attractive to a wide range of owners who want to give their sedan a more modern and aggressive look without significant expenses. However, the use of AI-generated images instead of real photographs of the finished product may raise certain doubts about the final result and the quality of fitment.
