Here is my 85 TwinAir City Racer.
Plan a lot of changes and upgrades.

I would probably fit better on the Ypsilon.
But i'm just came across this logo and put it on.
I still think they could make a case for selling an Abarth Panda. Throw in the running gear from the 500 Abarth and some better seats is all they need to do. That way all the folks who want a larger hot hatch without resorting to something as large as a Golf or Clio but need four doors will be well served.

Nah, that'd be Fiat showing some sense. They've just started advertising the Cross here on television and the ads are cringeworthy.

I sort of wish they sold better here in Turkey so that they'd inevitably have a few in breaker yards so that I could buy some cheap fenders to cut up and bash outwards or rivet on extensions for a good 10 cm widebody.

Nothing wrong with the width of the fenders, they can easily handle 7Jx17" ET30 wheels with 215/35R17" tires.

That sounds kinda cool. I imagine a sort of liberty walk / RAUH Welt Begriff kind of look with 8 or 9 inch wide rims

Yes, but imagine how meaty it would look with some box flares like this:

To really fill those out it would need either a ridiculous spacer or the McPhersons from a Punto Abarth and a decent spacer, while the rear would probably be a headache all on it's own, but I'd imagine the much wider track would do wonders for the handling.

Most likely.
But it will destroy fuel economy and speed.
Wide wheels/tires like that would need a lot more power then what most Panda's have to get the much better performance out of them.
Otherwise it only slow you down.

If and when I've gone that far down the rabbit hole of Panda mods, it's most likely because the Panda is now a second car, not worth selling, been in a crash and fixed up, or I've gone mental and for some reason or other the wife wasn't there to stop me. As such, I might have sold the house and eaten the cat and spent all the money on trying to get 200bhp from the 1.3 JTD fuel economy be damned. Then I'd go into bankruptcy, the wife will leave if she already hasn't, and I'll be living in the car in a public parking lot but hey, RALLY PANDA will get me places.

How about some turquiose wheels with a black rimstripe or polished lip?

I had some thoughts about making my steel 16" wheels turquoise with a black pinstripe.
But i think wheels in body colour is a little over the top for my liking.

news ??

Nope, not much happening as of yet.
Suspension, WMI + Remap, are all put on ice, as almost everything else.
First i want to know, what the Panda facelift will bring, till then nothing will happen.
I'm happy enough with the Panda, how it is now for the time being.
When the facelift Panda is introduced i will decide what will be next.

Bought a second set Barchetta's yesterday.
The plan it to use them as my new summer wheels.
For some reason i'm not happy with the visual look/effect of the black 16" on my car.
The Barchetta's are much more striking wheels to look at.
The plan is to make them "Matte Bronze".

Is the matte bronze going to be powdercoated or spraypainted? I really like that color, also goes well with black.
