New to the forum so stay with me...

I'm only finding my way around the Barchetta being new but have had an X19 in m youth so a lot of things feel the same!

Oil drained and replaced with castrol fully synth motorcycle racing 10w 40.
New FIAT Oil & air filter
Plugs replaced with NGK V-groved
Coolant flushed & replaced with orange long life stuff
Plug cover painted red
All bulbs replaced and screws and lenses cleaned

and

polished to within an inch of it's life!!!

More improvements to follow over the weeks I suppose!

be carefully you don't catch mod-improve disease... it is like a plague. :D
btw, nice engine bay. (y)
 
Good choice of colour for the car.........









...........no doubt LRB will be along in a minute to confirm that the Engine cover is great in RED:yum:
 
Looking excellent! (y) And yup, RED on the engine cover is a good choice - a re-paint of mine is on the to-do list (again)!

Really looks like a nice clean car, I love the colour - if I did not have red that would have been my second choice! (y) If I ever get a long term sustainable income again I would like to get my hands on a clean, unmolested b and keep it that way, then keep LRB as my 'mod-car'..............one day!! :rolleyes:
 
It's certainly a mint condition looking car!

Even the touch of red hasn't spoilt it :)
 
Very tidy looking motor(y) The only improvement I would make to my B would be to replace the roof cover/deck with the "humped" deck from the "Club Italia" model. I think these really set off what is already the classiest profile of any car on the road! What does anyone else think?
