Looks good mate are you keeping the matt look or you going to buff it up to make it gloss look

I quite like the mat look tbh not sure about the boot might go back white as looks like a Volvo to much but if I get it lowered I think it'll look sporty!

Kinda wanted a black inside roof but ran out of paint...

Actually loving the look mate, well done.


On the front of you wanting to upgrade to a Veccy, its funny that as I replaced my Stilo MW with a Signum 3.0 V6 CDTi, basically the same car lol, and I must say, apart from being worse on fuel, its a great car and I love it.

Ive got a black roof ,,, i died mine ,, so much easyer than paint .. used 2 tints and it cost about a 5er

Should the boot go white or stay black? And could you fit any engine into any car in reality guys I know a dodge ST engine wouldn't fit in a smart car lol but could a BMW engine or a Golf/polo engine fit in? After power but 50+ MPG also

Any ideas what engine would fit a Stilo?

Also car might have to go soon as it's got rear light problems, I indicate right and both fog lights flash? Replace all bulbs still no good! Could it be a dodgy light so I'll need new tail lights? Or electrical fault? If it's a electronical fault sorry but way to much to fix new car could be cheaper don't want to get rid of the car though!

And dye not a bad idea but as I've started painting it I might as well finish it off I guess ?

The rear light issue is prob just a bad ground, take the light units out and clean up the connections etc and re-fit.

Mariocinq you legend I'll give that a shot now quickly! Any idea wear eirth cables are as they might need cleaning?

Is this right? Looks like a pin is missing or is that normal?

Sorry for the late reply, been away, i'm not personally familiar with the 3dr but I am sure some-one with a 3dr can check and let you know, look at the other side and see if its the same.

Other side has been rounded off :/

ahhh, you should still be able to get access and remove the plug and the bulb holder to change bulbs.

Hmm I'll have to look into this tomorrow after work as got inside to finish off tomorrow

JayDKirk any news on hows the paint holding up after 7 months wpuld like to see hpw it looks now buddy

Hey buddy haven't owned the car for about 6 months or so now ecu started to play up and didnt have the funds to fix so I swapped then sold then brought myself a Hyundai coupe 2lt,
Last I heard of my fiat stilo was the police knocking on my door about 2 months ago saying that the car was still in my name and told me it had been involved in a major accident and been wrote off, so don't think the paint work will be in the best condition now lol

Dude thats a shame about its ecu failer and about it bein smashed up
