Italian car designer upset at odd bits of trim (7)

I believe the answer is:

bugatti

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'italian car' is the definition.
'bugatti' can be an answer for 'car' (I have seen 'Vintage car' mean 'bugatti' so perhaps 'car' could also mean 'bugatti'). I am not certain of the 'italian' bit.

'designer upset at odd bits of trim' is the wordplay.
'designer upset' becomes 'bug' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'odd bits of' indicates alternate letters.
The alternate letters of 'trim' are 'ti'.
'bug'+'at'+'ti'='BUGATTI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bugatti that I've seen before include "Early Italian car manufacturer" , "classic racing car" , "Ettore -, It. racing car designer" , "(Of horse) being used for breeding" , "Classic Italian car firm" .)
