Punto Evo/Supersport (Abarth) APE Supersport

I had a lot of problems with stone chipping on the bonnet even though I haven't been far. I had the existing stone chips and a minor scratch sorted at a body shop first. Then I had the bonnet wrapped in matte black to protect it in the future.

Nice scorpion, thanks for the pics

I had a few more photos to post.

Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh...!

Really,you've just worked that out?

meh, it happens - same thing has happened to lots of people i have met at shows and meets - had no idea who they are at the time :shrug:

I just saw the same pics and comments on facebook and had an AHA! moment lol. So many random people have added me on facebook i don't know if they are FF'ers or just random fiat people - I'm easy to find on facebook compared to alot of people.

I added you on Facebook to see your pics from the Monmouth meet.

you see, its all makes perfect sense, clearly i'm not just slow

215/45 17 with Y speed rating,Pirelli P Zero Nero. Fitted to all Abarth Evo's as far as I know.

Ive fitted chrome bulbs on the front and rear indicators and the side repeaters. Black crystal side repeaters have also been fitted to give it a cleaner look. I also had a white scorpion bonnet decal fitted. It wasnt an option on the Abarth Punto unfortunately. Its bigger than what I originally intended but it really pops against the matte black. Currently fitting new number plates and chrome Abarth surrounds. The cosmetics should then be done. Next thing I need to do is save some pennies for some Bilstein coilovers.

Really nice Thanks for the pics.

I'll install chrome bulbs for indicators, any advice on model/mark ?

Not sure to be honest. I bought the front and rear indicator bulbs from Halfords as they were on offer. Halfords have books in store,I found the Punto Evo in there and matched the codes. The side repeater bulbs were on ebay and listed for the Punto Evo.

Okay. It's just to know if it's better to buy Philips, Osram or cheaper ebay chrome-like bulbs.

I didnt buy any top branded bulbs. To be honest I dont even know if companies like Philips do Chrome bulbs. The front and rear indicator bulbs were a pretty good make (cant remember who) but the side repeater bulbs were just cheap ebay items.

You probably right, perhaps even philips and osram did not make their bulbs himself.
I'll look at ebay the right type for Punto Evo +

Thanks

Just for information, bought these :

Good looks, cheap, fast ship. Hope they last long

Well I've finally finished customising the look of the Abarth. It now looks totally different from the day it left the dealers. I'm really happy with how it's looking. Not really planning on doing much more now. But I will be fitting a straight through exhaust system in a few months time.
