General Incoming - Seicento Abarth

Quick question, did you use a cutting compound before polishing out? I tried tcut followed by a polish on mine as the paint is very faded in places (2001) but I suspect mine is covered in lacquer as there was no paint on the cloth nor did the paint become 'red' again?


Yes, Megs Ultimate compound, then the finer ultimate polish. Then topped off with protection.

You are right. The fade is underneath the lacquer but the overall appearance does get brighter.

Sweet. 12k - wow!

I particularly wanted unmolested. And Red...lol.

Mine's had a bit of paint for the odd scrape / lacquer peel but nothing serious at all. No panel damage.

The only thing left is a service & get the heater cock fixed to cure the warm air all the time issue.
 
Where and how much did you pick that up please, as i was looking for one but could only see K&N and i have been using BMC in the Alfa's for years.
EDIT: just seen it was £56.

Lovely looking Seicento Abarth!
I've just bought an early Abarth, great fun!
Wish I had a barn as these and Cinq Sportings are being sold for peanuts at the moment.
The good ones will be future classics. ?
