Just recently I smashed my Vauxhall Astra to bits and therefore have bought a jet black Fiat Cinquecento Sporting.
Basically the only reason I bought this car was to get me back on the road - cheaply and quickly. The car on a P ('96) plate, 32,000 - and cost me a mere £250!!!!
Originally I thought the car would do for a couple of months until I could afford to replace the Astra - but after a month of driving it, Ive found how fun the little beast is to drive!! - its great!!
I can see why you guys love these cars, great fun to drive, handle like Maradona and quick off the mark.
The car is far from perfect (hence the price) but id like to try and "restore" it back to moderate respectability, it has damage to the passenger side which looks as though something has scraped against the whole side. A new door could be needed. Someone has replaced the Sportings alloys with some entry level Cinqs wheels and terrible plastic wheel trims, as well as the exhaust (probably just the back box) with a dreadful excuse for a rusty pipe which is near falling off....
Just wondering if anyone could give me a background, possible cost and information on where to get such items....
any help would be great.
Thanks.
