oi












i know

You should buy the Abarth wheels that are being sold for £350

Is a really nice colour you have there. White Abarth wheels would be the balls.

your let off this time then and i agree it needs lowering but then so does mine so i cant really say much lol

proof i was cleaning it

is it a series 2?

no... but it has the series 2 grill, interior trim and a few other bits... so i think Fiat may have started putting a few of the S2 parts into the last few S1's... shame they didnt put the tinted headlights in

looks great tris

Defo got to get some proper cleaning stuff now.

Was seriously contemplating the £34 foam lance today in halfords.

You got any plans for alloys?

yeah i do... i'm thinking abarth alloys, or if i see a cheap set of sporting alloys i may invest... insurance due end of jan, so will have to keep my wallet shut for at least a month or so!

Alloys:
1.

2.

3.

these are the only none OEM ones im considering. wouldnt be the chrome ones btw.

4.

16" i know, but lowered, i think they'd look good.

wouldnt mind some T-Jet alloys either... in white :yum:

When i buy wheels, i'll be lowering at the same time.

17"s or NOTHING!!!!!!

seriously, you would have to go very low to pull off 16"s! i mean, look at jamie's. it only JUST works because they are wide (and fairly low)

I think stilo blades would look cool on a grande

Yeah the Stilo blades would look nice, shame they wouldnt fit

Theres a guy in the GP section selling his abarth's as he's got the Essesse kit which include OZ UltraLeggera's.

yeah i know, i'd snap his hands off if my insurance wasn't due in January!

Think your right about the 17's, the GP rides so high as standard... and mine supposedly has 'special' springs according to Fiat

why not? im under the impression that all they would need is some custom spigot rings. (less than £10)

Ah ok, wasnt sure it was that easy to sort

am i right in thinking spigot rings change the offset? which means you'd need wobbly bolts aswell as GP pcd is 4x100

no it wouldnt change the offset, but if the pcd is 4x100 then yeah you would need wobblies.

Yeah the GP has a smaller centre bore than older fiats, so spigots is all thats needed to sort that one out.

its a blooming pest - im searching for custom spigot rings, longer wobblies, and 10mm spacers for myself atm
