Styling abarth badges

You're devaluing your car by putting Abarth badges on it because it is not an Abarth. It's probably never been to the Abarth factory.

there is no abarth factory, there used to be a company called abarth that tuned fiats in the olden days, fiat bought the rights off them to use that name, its has taken them years to get past just using the badge on factory cars with just extra styling, but all abarths are still just fiats made by fiat just marketed different that is all
 
There isnt one car maufacturer that doesnt make a whole array of accessories and after parts for their cars. There was a Fiat Stilo Abarth made in the factory, which was not just a Stilo with some bits stuck on. It was a Stilo that was reworked in the Abarth factory.
Eibach springs - of course they were Eibach, thats who makes springs for the Abarth company the same as BMC make the air filters. Abarth simply decide on what products to put on the cars that they modify and in what combination and theyve done a bloody good job of it since 1949.If youre using that line of thought my dads Volvo should be called a Volvo/Ford because the engine and steering rack among other components are homogenous.
And yes i'm quite aware of where my car was built.

Abarth werent trading at the Time the Stilo Abarth was made. Its actually a pretty standard Lancia Engine that never made it into any Lancia cars.
Fiat only recently started Abarth up again as a trading company when the A500 was released. My knowledge is limited on this matter so im sure somebody will explain properly.

The suspension set up on the Stilo was "made" by Prodrive. But prodrive are only really an agent in these kind of Jobs. They commissioned the set up to be made by Blistein and Eibach.
 

Mmmm, I'm kinda missing the point of these photos????

I've got genuine front grille badge, genuine tailgate badge, genuine wheel caps, but the one thing I'm really struggling with is the steering wheel badge. I can't source one any where, I even wrote to the FIAT and Abarth factory in Italy. They tell you it's not available and that it's part of the airbag, that's total bull cause I prised the FIAT badge off my steering wheel, it's just a tin badge that is stuck on.

Any employee from the Abarth factory able to supply me with one?????????
 
These are genuine, original Abarth badges made specifically for the FIAT Bravo, the rear has the e-switch too. This online trader is trying to get a supply of original steering wheel badges too, the more enquiries/demand they have for that part the more likely FIAT is to supply them, that's what happened with the body badges.
