retro fitting stilo parts?

Hey,

i broguht a 03 plate 1.8 petrol dynamic a couple of weeks back (I am chuffed with it!) i am looking to add a few extra features like cruise control, cd controls on the steering wheel, side skirts, bigger alloys and spoiler. I have been in touch a few fiat dealers and there talking silly money to add these. Just wondering whether u guys have self fitted any of these, and whether or not there hard to do and wheres the best place to get them from?

Theres lots of links on the site for parts, also PM Ben (the author) who is the resedent styling god

Happy Stilo ownership

I think you'll struggle on the cruise control & multifunction steering wheel front TBH as if it hasn't been fitted already then you may not have the wiring behind the dash for it. As for skirts wheels & spoilers there's plenty of choice just look on the internet. You can get Abarth style skirts & spoilers from this site http://www.lester.it/uk/catalogo_articolo.asp?id=824 & for the spoiler http://www.lester.it/uk/catalogo_articolo.asp?id=819 Also try any of these sites for alloys!

If you do manage to fit the cruise control please do tell me 'cause i'd love to have it fitted on mine (and i'm sure a few of the guys here would too!!)

hi
ive found a thred on retro fit cruse control on a italian forum
but most of its in english, it seems that a guy from a spannish forum
has done it, have a browse, might be of some help to someone

Thanks alot for that. it seems that cruise control is actually rather easy to install (providng you have no problems).
I'll see if i can find a bashed up stilo with cruise control so i can steal the lever from the stearing wheel.
Could somebody please post a picture of the cruise control lever on a Stilo??

Thanks a bunch

Ive got an idea that you can use the cruise control stick from a alfa 147
I think ive got the link on my machine at home i will post tonight, if i can find it!!!
again it was a italian forum

doh! ive read the thread again and he has actually bought and used
the stick from a alfa 147. the connection block under the steering wheel
is the same

Is it very easy then? What does the stick for the 147 cost?

Cheers

According to that thread it silo one costs aprox 180 something euros so i'd say the alfa one will cost aprox 200 euros.

ive phoned a alfa dealer and he said that the stalk does come on its own
(i said it was for a 1.6 lusso 02 reg )

and it costs the princely sum of £38.03 in vat!

so i might just have a look to see if i have the plug free for it on my stilo at the weekend, it looks like its a bit more complicated than just plug and play, you need to take a feed of the body computer from around the battery area.
