Hi all, pre empting get a smashed up Twin Air for my own use for work, rather than to sell but I have a feeling that the front panel may be different from the others. There don't seem to be any on eBay and the place I buy new ones from advertise them as "non turbo" so I assume they are different.

Can anyone confirm?

Blind guess there's different trim on the slam panel. Got my handbook in my room for my Panda. Will have a read now and PM you if come across anything obvious.

You can tell a TA from the rear by the exhaust system, but are you suggesting that they look different from the front?

Perhaps by 'non-turbo' they mean non-1.4 turbo (the A500 engine). That one certainly is not the same, but I'm unsure as to whether the TA is different.

I believe that the TA uses the same shell as the 1200 and 1400 non turbo. The 14 turbo has a longer nose.

Just so happens I happen to have an Abarth front Bumper, vents, carbon vent covers, carbon nostril, Carbon front vent with mesh, Abarth front wing with badge, matching rear boot handle/light assembly.............and no longer have a 500.

Only once you have the bumper off. The TA has what I believe may be the intercooler on the left of the radiator.
