Summary
This article clarifies the differences between Alfa Romeo's proprietary part terminology and standard collision industry terms. It provides a translation table for key structural and body components to help technicians locate the correct OEM repair procedures quickly.
What to do on the job
Use Alfa Romeo's specific terminology, such as 'Rear Closure Panel' for rear body panel or 'Load Path Beam' for front upper rail, when searching for OEM repair procedures.
How to use it
Use this document to justify search times and clarify part names on estimates and supplements. When insurers question the existence of a repair procedure because standard industry terms yield no results, use the translation table to prove that searching under Alfa Romeo's proprietary terms (e.g., 'Load Path Beam' instead of 'Upper Rail') is required to access the correct OEM instructions.
