mechanically they are virtually the same but just look at them! they are totally different shapes so they would need extensive modding to fit
PM bushboy as i know he has a cinq custom front bumper he will be selling

body filler?done much body work?
the bumpers are different shapes so theres a problem.
the wheel arches are a different shape
etc etc
its up to you but its massive work.if your doing that you can pick from any car and make them fit

For this type of challenge it would be easier to buy a sei and get the kit that way, not the usual 'sei is better' style of post

Re: does a seicento body kit fit on a cinquecento

The kits can be made to fit no problem, but just becuase the kit looks good on the sei doent necessarily mean it will look just as good/better on the cinq. Dont forget the sei is much more curvy and so the kits are designed to incorporate those lines. The cinq is very boxy with prodominent lines, and again the kits for the cinq are designed to accomodate this. Mixing it up could make it go very very wrong.

In my opinion (and as you say you work in bodyshop so must have some experience and skill) you should attempt a custom using parts from a different boxy car altogether You can use the top of a standard bumper and splice the rest to the bottom of it etc...

but in this case i agree.... would be so much easier / cheaper / less time consuming / possibly end with a better result to buy a sei and go from there.

on the other hand if u have the money / skillz / time to attempt something 1 off, then this is a good place to look at what can be done to a cinq http://www.fiatforum.com/members-mot...cinq-pics.html

I agree -- I think it would look aweful, but you could always try it in Photoshop/Gimp to see what it looked like.

I think an Integrale body kit would look nice on a Cinq, especially if you could pop 4 headlamps on.........
