Hi Everyone,

Just purchased a Fiat Bravo 57 Plate, 120 M Jet, So far I can honestly say this is an AMAZING car, from MPG to Comfort and Speed.

I will be uploading some images of the Bravo, But here is some of the Upgrades I am looking to do:

1) Full Tints all around the car front and back
2) HekoWind Deflectors 5dr
3) Carbon Wrap Door Frames Including Front Grill and Back Bumper

Thanks for Reading.
Will keep you posted on the Updates.

Not long got my M Jet 120, best thing I ever did to it was get it remapped!

Birmingham eh, I'm just down the road in sunny Wolverhampton! :D

How did you get around Remapping it? And How much did it cost ? And what where the Results from Remapping it.

There's loads of places that do it, I used a place in Wolverhampton called midland remaps. Pretty good, cost me £179

Mines running at 160 bhp, but to me it's just the general feel of the car it's totally different with the increased torque.

Saying that my bravo was running 131 before the remap, 11 over the factory quoted 120

Would definitely recommend it!

I'm sorry but if yours is a 120 T-jet you're not running anywhere near 160BHP. I'll bet my life on it, unless you've upgraded turbo to the 150-T-jet Turbo.

Ahh fair enough, I thought it was a t-jet which on the 120 is basically impossible without substantial modifications.

No problem, thought we were on the brink of another TJet vs MJet argument then!

When you remapped it, what was the MPG like? Was their an Improvement...

Yep, definitely was. On the motorway the other day in an average speed camera zone at 50 my range hit 830 miles. Obviously you wouldn't get that and you'd have to stay at 50. But doing about 80mph+(private land, honest!) I was still getting 500/600 miles.

Averaging roughly 50mpg at the minute and I have a heavy right foot at times. It's well worth it mate.

Woah thats pretty Impressive results, I have the M jet 120 On a full tank I get around 570 Miles Range, Compare to what people get here I think mines is really Bad. My Mpg is around 40/42. What are the ways to increase the MPG my Fiat is pretty old and has done around 90,000 on the Clock.

Any Tips would be good, I do drive slowly and the Range does increase I always keep to the limit no heavy revving or boy racing driver.

Just was looking around, And I came across Plasti Dip Wrapping Service, In Birmingham for a full car it only cost £250? Was thinking of getting my Bravo Full Plasti Dip Matt White with Plasti Dip Matt Black Wheels. Is it worth buying ? And has anyone done it before?

That's ridiculously cheap I wouldn't trust it mate. The car kits and gallons of dip would cost about that. No chance they're doing it with minimal profits. And if they are I'd expect results that reflect that.

Was thinking the same £250 is very cheap for a whole car. But the Idea of Plasti Dip seems like a good idea, After watching some videos on youtube does make the look of your car better, aswell as protecting the paint work.

Age should have little relevance if looked after.

Best way to increase MPG is to keep the revs low and get to the highest gear possible as quickly as possible without overly revving your engine. Stop start traffic is phenomenally bad for fuel efficiency as you're always trying to get to that top gear hence using fuel to accelerate.

When I say top gear I don't mean use 6th on a 30mph road. Top hear will differentiate from road to road. Just make sure you don't make the engine struggle which can also use more fuel.

I have plastidip on my car. My grills and front bumper have been plasti dipped.

Those 'bubbles' you see are just the holes for the screws to fix my licence plate back on. And the rough bit at the top was my mistake. You can see how smooth plastidip is. Where I didn't mess it up lol

I normally drive around 30MPH in 3rd and the Range does increase alot, Is there anything I can replace which will benefit me in getting more Range? Air Filter? Sparks Plugs?

That looks awesome mate, I did something same but I used a Carbon Wrap and did the front bumper to the same style as yours so it looks abit like an Audi. You should remove the Tjet Logo ?
 
yeah I think it's awsome the front bumper being done small things finishes car off
