Blacked out windows, very gangster !

Looks like nice tidy Fiat 500L. I can tell you that you are missing the heat shield inside the engine lid that helps protect the number plate light from engine heat. Also the little plastic clip that stops the engine lid restraining strap from popping out every time you open it up.

Thanks for taking a close look! I had no idea about either of those!

Thanks @lazylobster! It looks like they are in Turin (Torino)? Unfortunately that will be a little out of the way I will be in Milan and driving out to Val Gardena and Cortina D'Ampezzo and looking for something in Milan or on that route. Do you by chance know of any other vendors?

Try "Bernie Motore"---they are in Maleo, about 37 miles south-east of Milan. They have a BIG on-line site, and what is even more helpful is that the boss (Tony Bernie) speaks English----well a sort of English (but don't tell him that I said that!) being that he is in fact Welsh. A lovely guy and very helpful.

I bought my 1968 Cinque Cento in a little town north of Venezia and shipped it back to Bend, Oregon via a military move. The cool thing is that I have the original license plates from Rome and the original registration filled out in pen by a guy name Guiseppe.

Now it's in the naughty corner

That sounds lovely! But probably the guy's name was Giuseppe

This topic shows my newly purchased gorgeous 1968 Fiat 500L vehicle.

Very glad to be part of the forum.
