Re: my tipo :)

Tipo's are so cool, that one looks like really tidy, nice colour. Bonus no sunroof.
Try having a search through the tipo section and forum garage for inspiration.

Coupe alloys always look nice on them. The spoiler in this picture is ace.

Re: my tipo :)

haha you can't have that spoiler... it's in use



A set of 15" wheels means you still have a reasonable amount of sidewall, and tyres are cheap. See if you can't find yourself a set of Tipo or PuntoGT alloys.

.....I was thinking that right down the post, then I saw you were likeminded - an unmolested standard 94 like this? It would be a crime to even remove the wheeltrims. Come and show it off this Saturday!

This is mine btw

Re: my tipo :)

Hope you don't mind mate but I thought it would give a better comparison to the other guys Tipos if we saw yours a bit better



I'm not trying to encourage you but I had mine lowered by 35mm last month using springs I got from eBay. If you look through my old post entitled '£380 Fiat Tipo 2.0.i.e' you'll see how different it looks.

nice colour! not too keen on the 3 doors though, but my view of them is improving, alloys and lowered 'n it'd look pretty good.

What was the owner thinking eh?

Don't mind the extra weight - I balance it out by eating less pies and having some rusty bits.

Re: my tipo :)

now THAT's how to willy wave.

edit: Can't find your thread on here and don't want to put non-tech stuff on GC forum.

What status does the racing tipo have with regard to DVLA? Do you have to declare SORN every year, or is it technically scrapped? Don't remember seeing a 'converted to race car' on the V5.
