If you have number 186, it's on the Schumacher list here: https://www.fiatforum.com/stilo/68887-have-you-got-schumacher.html

You may be able to trace some of it's history by searching previous owner(s) posts.

totally did not realise the Schumis came with alloy cam cover. I like that.

zieonth looking good, I nearly bought 186 a few years ago

That's definitely not quite standard. You've got an OMP strut brace, GSR rad hose, custom engine cover and what I assume is a K&N typhoon?

Induction, exhaust and remap will do wonders for the 2.4. The head is pretty free flowing but legend has it that Fiat massively restricted the airflow to get it through emissions.

Other mods are a bit more difficult- fast road cams, forged pistons, forged conrods and injectors are the way to more (reliable) power from here.

Hi Zieonth I hope you enjoy the car. I owned this model (186) for 4 years and christened him "Enzo" and I miss him very much click this link below for full details of my ownership of him

In short yes he has been modified some of it was like it when I bought it but most including the leather seats, cruise control, the brace and that awesome cam cover were all me look after him he was a real head turner

Small world, it was about then I considered buying him . He previously belonged to a guy on here called Nick if memory serves?

Yes that's right shooweenick or something like that. He was from Essex way and when he sold it, it ended up in Birmingham which is where I bought it from.

My apologies I just realised I quoted the wrong person lol

They don't. That cover was swapped from a FIAT coupe. The factory one looks like this:

Love to get my hands on this magazine, auto Italia where the car was featured at some point, I like the name Enzo ����

Found this old pictures, mods look different, can anyone shed any light

Yes these were done on my watch too. Autoitalia wanted to do a buyers guide on the stilo and asked on here if anyone was interested and I put my name forward as I've always wanted a car featured in a magazine. It was a fun day out I had to drive to Kent to where the studio was - the most unusual place it was just a large wooden shed, you would never have guessed looking at the photos that it was done their. I have a copy here with me but I couldn't part with it I'm afraid but I'm sure one will turn up on eBay

Is there any chance you could scan and email pictures from magazine, I cant read the print

Here's some more







It was a well sorted car when it left me. When I got it, i found out a member on here had it and had it chipped to 204bhp - this was proven as I found the picture of it on the rolling road and a picture of the printout. It was also de badged when I got it too. I didn't do any external mods as such as it was just perfect except I widened the track by 20mm to fill the arches out. I fitted the OMP strut brace and i also fitted lower subframe and rear axle braces too but I removed them before I sold it on. The cam cover was off a coupe and I fitted the polished intake pipe as the old GSR one wouldn't fit on the air box properly. It had a (or should still have) a K&N panel filter in. And it's not long had a thermostat fitted too I also fitted as very smart Abarth 500 steering wheel too at great expense (and certain risk as I had to modify the boss so it would fit) is it still there? The wheels look a lot darker than when I had it so it looks like they were redone after my ownership

Any other pictures? It's really interesting to find previous owners and where the car has been, its in limerick, Ireland now ��

I'm afraid I don't have a scanner - or a printer for that matter atm as it broke last year

The article itself wasn't about Enzo it was about the stilo in general so you could google "stilo" and still get road test reports if that's what your after

Wow, this is great to find out this stuff, it's still has the 500 steering wheel and looks great, not to keen on the momo gear nob so I've just bought a standard Stilo one on eBay, I also just painted the grills as they were red and now a lovely Stella grey to match the new refurbished alloys, the car also has leather and I didn't think the schumacher had leather, the rear seat look new but the front look different and very worn, I'm going to get them retrimed soon

Did you look at my old thread? It full of pictures of it when it was in my ownership. Check it out https://www.fiatforum.com/members-motors/270662-enzo-my-shumey-gp.html

Did you do the seats?

Yes the leather was me too, the old cloth ones had collapsed bolsters on and look awful. I found a set of different cloth ones but then found those leather ones. Probably the only Schumacher with leather seats and I also retro fitted the cruise control too using an afla Romeo switch.
