Stilo modifications

Hi guys,

Straight to the point, I have a Stilo 1.2, bog standard. Looking to modify it and have seen some beautiful examples where others have done the same. I'm thinking K7N 57i induction kit, Lester sideskirts (look similar to the Abarth ones), alloys and maybe suspension.

17" wheels and a 35mm drop sound good?
What wheels do you recommend and is there any mods im overlooking here that have improved your ride?

Thanks!

Re: Stilo modifications

imo best alloys are fiat 17" stilo blades..
You should lower 50mm using eibach sportline kit.. as 35mm on your 1.2 wont go barely any lower because your engine isn't as heavy.

lester skirts are good yeah, maybe get the abarth front bumber if you dont already? and the spoiler of course

It's not, Abarth had colour coded 'rubber bits' but otherwise the same. Schumi front bumper is another matter though

a 50mm drop wont cause any problems with rubbing bodywork on 17" wheels?
