General Croma needed for magazine photoshoot

Pieman2 · Dec 6, 2012

I am writing a Croma Buyers' Guide for Auto Italia magazine and am looking for a mint example to shoot for the feature at our Kent studio on Wednesday 30th January 2013. The shoot will take no more than three hours. If you would like to take part and see your Croma in the magazine please PM me ASAP with details of your car. Many thanks,

Guy.

mines not mint, dont you have photoshop?

Doofer · Dec 6, 2012

Mine's too scruffy - nothing serious, but bonnet chips, kerbed wheels etc. I'm also nowhere near Kent.

Please let us know when it's published though, and if it's anyone from here's car.

Mine's virtually mint but non standard! Side skirts and running lights etc.

where you get skirts and are they oem?

halilson · Dec 6, 2012

Tuning company in Italy. Don't think Fiat did any OEM.

dave · Dec 6, 2012

are they fibreglass?

halilson · Dec 6, 2012

Yes. They came primed ready to put colour on. Took a couple of weeks to arrive.

Let's see some pictures of it then!

Here are a couple I took a few weeks ago. Just need to refurb the rear wheels and refit the fogs.

Pieman2 · Dec 20, 2012

Many thanks to all those who offered to help - we now have a car confirmed for this shoot.
Cheers,

Guy.

I'd like to read a 1.9 diesel 16V 4 door family saloon road test comparison article -

Hal', the skirts look excellent - have you got a link to the sellers site?

How about one of these for the front (I know the example photo is a Bravo, but the blurb does state Croma 194)?

Cheers for the link Evo, I've been looking for a suitable spoiler for ages. Just what it needs to finish it off.
I will try and dig out the info on the skirts. I think they were ordered thru a UK based company.

the stig/130 · Dec 23, 2012

make sure you get a contract off auto Italia, about expenses, fuel, food,etc

s130 · Dec 23, 2012

Second that. Don't be afraid to ask. Yes you are probably chuffed your car is going to feature etc. but these magazine shoots are commercial concerns so they have to pay all sorts of feed and expenses and you are no different.

When our Strada Abarth was on Top Gear got a buffet lunch a small fee and fuel expenses. The fee was in the order of what it would cost them to hire a typical 80s classic car for the day.

Hi there,
I'm finally about to write this buying guide (publication was put back a couple of months by the Editor) so the big question to all of you is...

What should potential Fiat Croma buyers be looking out for?

Best regards,

Guy.
