£40, I built a clutch from toffee and string, and fitted it in the car in 4.27 seconds. I also eat glass as a hobby but I cant sew me turn ups on me trousers, I get Mick the Bricky to do that for me.

cost me £80 for a new intercooler pipe (and thats in 3rd year warranty = worth nowt to fiat).

best bet is to shop around, perhaps a local garage could do it?

p.s. what if the fit ladies there want to rape you

I was a clutch kit from halfords. I work there and have a trade card. But clutch kits are around £80

FIAT compared to other car companies are relativly cheap though.
