Hi Guys

I have put this in the abarth section because I have a GP and I think they will look good on my car :D just curious if any one knew where I could get the plastic arch cover things or more importantly if im being stupid even concidering this as a modifacation???

Where they meet the start of the side panel there is a size difference, and the abarth bumper will overhang by a cm or two due to the size difference. You would need to have the black arch covers aswel. Don't know where you would get them from though, or if they would fit over the standard GP side panel due to the slightt lack of length on it.

As good as this would look, it would mean having to do something that i hate doing. Putting an abarth grill on the front, unless you can get badgeless abarth grills? But why would you have a badgeless Abarth grill in the first place. So it would mean putting an Abarth grill in on a non Abarth car,...which to me is a massive :yuck: IMO.

Still a fiat :p
 
I just had a friend who had a 1.2 Fiesta. He converted it to a complete ST replcia. Interior and exterior. Spent a bomb on it, because he couldn't get insured on an actual Fiesta ST. All show and no go, i just think its wrong. Like people putting T-jet badges on a standard 1.2/1.4, why?
 
I'm a bit hypocritical right now, seeing as i've just put 17" Abarth alloys on my car, with red scorpion centre caps. But thats only because i'm waiting to get red fiat ones to replace them haha :D

And the wheels just look the nuts. I'm still going to keep quiet now though......as i have no leg to stand on.

They are still fiat though, it will say inside them :) . In fact only thing that makes them the Abarth brand is the centre caps but your right it'll look better with fiat caps to go with the rest of the styling on the car :)

Back on topic, there is a orange gp with a full kit in the abarth section, it did get absolutely slated for it because there is allot of people who don't know Abarths history etc etc etc.

It would look brill, but as wisey said you will need the plastic arch kit.

At the end of the day, Abarth started as tuning company... You'd buy a standard Fiat car and buy bits from Abarth to enhance it. If they could justify it in the 60's I don't see why you can't in 2013.
