Have to agree with CS, they could do with a little bit on the front wing.
Been thinking about on my Blue 100HP but wasn't sure how they would go with the bottom of the door stripes.

Having seen yours, I think they would work and the abrupt cutoff wouldn't be so noticeable on mine.

They also do a colour match service.

Personally I would not go for thr autotiva ones. I just sent a set back. They changed the design where on the resr door strip there are black circles on each side as if for a badge or something. Still debating whether I want these now as from fiat they are £60+ which is a bit of a rip for for 4 pieces of plastic moulding.

Thanks for that!
I actually tried to order some today using the quick checkout, but stooopid site then Wanted me to register to get payment Methods. How is that quick checkout!

So I abandoned it to do another day, but won't bother.

Lucky. Unless your ok with the circle spot. I ordered mine off ebay and quickly opened up a case. Luckily they agreed to take them back plus paying for the return postage.

you can just make out the circle on this pic. Not too sad i guess but a little bit weird and not OE looking. Personally i think the 100hp looks great with the protection mouldings. Matches well with the black arches. I already have the RGM bumper guard waiting to go on. But no real rush as the 100hp has been taken off the road for a few months, not through any problems. I have a swift to use that belongs to my sister in law who is out of the country for a few months. No point me wasting money insuring and running the Panda, keeps the mileage down ;o)

They REALLY suit that car ! - nice, very nice - the whole motor is a credit to you.
I would say that is THE nicest looking 100HP I have seen, the colour etc make it - no silly mods - just spot on !

lol, sorry bout that - thought it was yours, did wonder how you were gonna send em back though when they were fitted
oops..

Still looks superb, but the wind deflectors ??.. nooooooooo

But I actually find wind deflectors very useful...

Do you not like them as much as black wheels. You sound like my father in law. He despises any other colour for wheels other then silver

Secretly I am thinking of buying some wind deflectors as the air con is totally manual (use the windows) on mine and when it hits 40c it gets a bit warm (got to 34 on Tuesday at the Villa!) - I dont mind, but HWSBO complains the wind blows in her ear (both windows open) - totally her fault for being a short arse ..
And your Father in law is absolutely right.. ! - painting a nice looking alloy black is a crime against humanity

I blame my conservatism on Maggie Thatcher (Goddess!!) , old age, and poverty...

Nah - it's probably age. I can't see the reason why you'd want wheels black. Hides the detail/sculpture.


Silver/grey. Maybe white on some occasions.


Each to their own tough.

No way. You with wind deflectors. The day that happens I'd pay your donation to change your username from captainslarty to George Michael ?

Interesting those ones in the pic have the circle.
The ones on the website pic don't. Is the ebay seller the same company?

They do look good in that pic though. I have one of the boot guards and it looks OEM.

its the same seller. Its how i managed to open a case with Ebay and have a full refund plus the £11.99 return postage via parcel force.

They stated they no longer had the ones without the circle and did not update the Ebay add to reflect this

Just cos i am a nice bloke. As a Idea of how they will look on yours

Cheers mate.
I just found their ebay page whilst googling to see if anyone else did them.

I will take a photo of mine from the same angle as your pic and image blend them as I have the white 100HP stripes at the bottom of the doors.
I think they should work...

I still think they look great, but also as said before, they need (imho) a tiny piece on the front wing - this is due to the gap between the wheel arch trim and the door trim.
I am sure if you ordered off the ebay guy, he would have a spare single trim from a damaged kit etc - to make the two pieces ....

something like this ...

i personally dont think it needs the moulding on the front wing. But can see why you think it looks better with.

One thing i do know is i am not paying £65 plus VAT for 4 pieces of plastic and 3m double sided tape.

I am going to be enquiring at scrappies soon.

Well I finally decided that I really didn't like the rubbing strips.. so got the hair dryer out and took a chance. They came off easier than I thought but for some reason on one side there was some yellowing under the strip. After a mild panic I managed to buff them out with a bit of polish/scratch remover before the wife could start with the I told you so's.





Picture is not great though, managed to take it out of focus

Glad I finally got round to it as unless they are colour coded I just don't think they look right. For my eyes they sit a little to low on the door and while not looking terrible, they don't look great.
