Styling Matching Bumpers?
I think it'd be fine.
Take off the bumper (one at a time!), thoroughly clean and degrease, spirit wipe, 600 grit wet or dry, spirit wipe, plastic primer (else it'll crack and fall off!), de-nib if necessary, white to match body colour.

you'd be better of getting hold of some bumpers already colour coded from another car. they will be smoother, save a lot of sanding work and you'll get a better finish!

completely agree'd!!! would love to have a white abarth....might spray mine
the future... get it done!

instead of the future is bright the future is orange....the future is bright the future is white
yeah i'd be tempted to if i could afford it!
only problem with cinqs, is all the bare metal inside too, so ideally needs to be a proper full job. thats why i kept mine red (and black), to keep the cost down.
white abarth with black inside would look nice imo
yeah spose if its black you'd get away with it. cos of the matching contrast. could tie in black wheels easier too!

If the surface is really rough, go to 400 wet or dry: I'd not go coarser than that!
The advantage in starting from an unpainted bumper is that you won't have to deal with all the paint cracks caused by contact parking!
Good luck, and pics, please!

I know they did a seicento in white, but it was an SX model, I would love to see someone drop that 60mm with some sporting wheels, interior and an abarth kit all round. Would look awesome I think.

Hi all,
I guess your all wondering what I have done? Well nothing at the moment, because I told my Dad what I was going to do after I de-badged my baby, and he said it would look sh*t. But I'm liking the sound of a abarth body kit to put on it. But how much work would it be to put on/modifiy? And where would be the best place to get one from (I.e. cheepest)?

how would an upgrade look ****?....
you can get fiberglass copies from ebay or fastfait.com
shouldn't need any mods because they made for this car. should just be a case of trail fitting, painting and then refitting.

Ok all,
Just had a quick look on eBay and fastfiat.com. On eBay I found:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAT-CINQUECE...ZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem
And if the same parts are bought from fastfiat.com it comes to:
£420
Obviously eBay is cheaper, but where do you recomend I get it from, in regards to customer satisfaction, any quiries when bodykit arrives, returns, etc?
Cheers
