Browsed through the German forum and found that there is a genuine Abarth Speedometer available. Looks like its made out of carbon fiber... Can I buy this part online?

Looks sweet :slayer:

I think from what I can understand is, its just the carbon mount but the actually dials etc... is from the standard diesel.

Also looking through that site, there is so many posts and topics about the GP. Its a shame but it seems as though the car is so much more popular in european countries, and you get a lot more modding/tuning there too.

It does look very sweet. Im sure when its out in the uk u will be able to get it! im waiting for the pedals!

thats not real carbon fibre thats the plastic lookalike stuff, so if you find one dont pay too much thinking its real carbon.

its a foil stuck over the top of the STD surround, does look rather nice mind

you can pick sheets up 50x50cm, think i might give it a go when i pick mine up:

are u sure its not the arbarth dials and not foil?

I think the are the arbarth dials. I translated it:

"My Tachoblende dismantled and covered first with Carbon foil. But then that of the Abarth orders and incorporated. Here a small, illustrated How-to-do if it it once itself wants to try, with foil, varnish or Abarth! "

if its the real one then y further down the page is ther another one covered in different carbon effect plastic.

also it could be a real fiat abarth part but doesnt mean fiat used real carbon fibre to make it.

the dials are the same as the sporting, no difference from mine part from the surround! Everybody brands everything fake abarth

They are not the same as the sporting dials at all, look

The top picture shows the old sporting dials, exactly the same as mine except mine are in mph.

The bottom pic shows the dials from a facelift sporting.

Facelift sporting, whats changed? Just the dials?

Abarth dials are black with abarth written across the bottom of the speedo from what i have seen on the net. I will try to find where i have seen it.

Edit: Abarth dash:

that looks amazing! i want it now!

The link is the bloke changing from his own surround to a proper abarth one i think after i have found a pic of the abarth clocks and dash on the net you can see its the same:

I love the abarth dash, would defiently prefer that.

Might change my all of my dash to carbon fiber black!
