Im not saying ur wrong but where have u got this info from? Just confused as mine has all the trimmings: spoiler, back bumper, front bumper, side skirts, alloys, centre caps, gear stick, steering wheel, handbrake grip, car mats, pedals, door sills and headlight protecters (which ive heard are pretty rare). My insurer know it as an abarth and also in my FIAT aftercare brochure there is a picture of a sprint blue fiat hgt ABARTH?

Jonnio · Dec 8, 2008

Sounds like some pretty good evidence to suggest otherwise lol.

Maybe yours is super rare!

I really need to change that shopped sig lol *updates...to another shopped one, woops, tis pretty much how it looks now. Minus the dirt.*

...wheels are standard colour (can't decide on anthracite or standard refurb lol) but it is on coilovers now!

Need the ice to go away so I can clean it

you could order ANY model of mk2 in abarth trim from the factory, it just cost a bit more. you added the bodykit, interior and wheels all seperately.

Captain Mike · Dec 10, 2008

yeah but the way you said bodykitted implied it had been done by the owner after purchase.

sorry, i meant to imply that the only thing our cars share is the same bodykit (which isnt even complete on my car yet

)

flexywozere · Dec 10, 2008

Jonnio: Defo go for athracite....theyll set the car off nicely!

. How much were the coilovers? Are they easy to fit?

Rich_65402 · Dec 10, 2008

Hey up, your from Cheshireeee lol. Where abouts?

I went for Eibach Pro-Street S ones...

Managed to soften the financial blow a bit by getting part paid for me birthday lol.

I got a garage (ABP near Crewe) to fit them so no idea how hard they are lol, apparently they are easier to change than just springs.

They definately aren't made for going uber low but the handling is a lot better. Need my new brakes to bed in and some nice dry grippy roads to test them properly though I think!
