Anyone else think something is wrong?

This is now the result of the second visit to the dealers. They fitted it wrong first time and it is still wrong. Patience is wearing thin.

Was the guy so short they had to turn the car on its side to put them on?

It looks like the back turns off to the side

Re: Anyone else think something is wrong?

This is very wrong - front too close to centre, roof should finish before spoiler. Make them do it again - it's not right. My factory fitted ones attached - just about see the roof at the back.

Re: Anyone else think something is wrong?

ours has the same stripes, apparently fitted at factory, i'm a little unsure of the positioning, but we have the spoiler and it doesn't go onto spoiler at all, and so the back end looks really plain, i reckon they need a little colour introduced there to balance the design of the stripes??


.............. just my 2p worth.

Re: Anyone else think something is wrong?

Yeah mine has the same stripe and yours is all wrong. Mine was factory fitted and it should sit further over rather than be central. It should also stop before the spoiler and not go over it. The picture above by erzulie500 is the same as mine. You should get the dealer to look at this thread.

Re: Anyone else think something is wrong?

Most dealers get sub contractors in to fit these stripes or the nearest bodyshop.

Re: Anyone else think something is wrong?

Yeah that is my point.

The whole thing is too close to the middle of the car. They were supposed to move it over but instead they replaced the one on the roof and boot to match it! F*cking idiots!

When I asked them about this they said that the people who fitted it were following instructions, I asked did they have problems following them as they have completely messed it up. I spoke to Fiat head office today and they are going to go over the dealership as I have had nothing but problems with them.

I also have no idea why the sticker finished short and is on a angle. Previously it went down to the glass and looked a lot better.
