Righto, as requested, a project thread :)

Got my Bravo back in November 2009 as I passed my test, and wanted something that would last. Had absolutely no plans or ideas to modify the car in anyway back then.

But, as is the way with these things, I stumbled across a set of Fiat Accessory wheels for a stonking price, and got a set of tyres for them.

Then I got offered a set of SPAX SSX springs...how could I say no?!

I definitely had the bug now, so I went and ordered a set of Eibach Sportlines to try and drop the front lower, but it didn't work. So coilovers were needed :) Got and fitted some FK Highsports, so as of right now, the car looks like this;

Finally, at the moment I have a set of Drifz Venom wheels, 18x8.5 waiting to go on. Got a test fit done, with the adapters on, the wheels are ET10.

And got a set of Coupe wheels which I am getting back tomorrow after powercoating in Gunmetal :)

The next big step is a set of Rotiforms I think, once I've got the bolts to fit the current wheels I have, and the pennies to afford yet another set of wheels :dizzy2:

Apologies for the picture heavy first post, and random sized images; tried getting them all to 640x480 but some were having none of it. Hope you like the car :)

Nice start - can't wait to see this at a meet :)

Cheers :) Any idea what the next bigish meet will be after this Sunday? I've been membered on FiatForum for a while now, but still couldn't put a name to a face. Be good to actually get to know some people on here.

Jeezo, that's low....... :stunned:
You've certianlly got a nice list of what's been done.
Nice.
After this Sunday, we have Stirling on Saturday 1st July & Italain Car & Bike Day at Hopetoun House (Queensferry) on August 12th.

Cheers. Still a lot more to come, just a lack of money holding it back, as always with these things :( I posted the question about meets just before I noticed you'd replied on the other thread.

so how many sets of wheels have you got?? :)

Currently 3. Steelies, getting refurbed once they're off, the Drifz and the Coupe wheels :) More and more keep catching my eye though, the car has more sets of shoes than I do.
 
Clock, the big plans currently are a wrap in black, and sorting out the interior at the moment :) plus a new exhaust coz my flexi-joint is shot, and about 17000 new tyres :p
Jatkinson, window tints maybe on the cards, not 100% yet, got bigger things to save for first :)
Muppet, it's probably because everyone else has more sense :laugh:

Got the wheels back today, absolutely stunning :) got them done in gunmetal and ooooft

Nothing like a sunny day to show off freshly refurbed alloys :D

Had been tempted to get a set of the 20VT alloys for the Stilo once or twice since they always seem to come up but don't think they'd sit as well on mine since I'm not on coilies. I usually have to point out the fact mine's lowered to people given how high it sat before :laugh:
 
Nice work there :) as said, don't see enough of these modded or not looking in the right places. Drifz wheels look cracking on it, like the smileys too. Rotiforms al set ya back a fair whack, gorge wheels though!!
 
Cheers :) yeah, Drifz aren't too shabby, cost a bomb tho to get them over here!
There's a few on YouTube atm, but they either have some nasty bodykit, or bagged on 20's.

Muppet, the wheels are even better than I thought...get a set! :)
