I bought the car in november 2007, looked much like this the day I picked it up



Vowed not to spend a penny on it and keep it insurance friendly standard....

So I got the rear windows tinted



Original sporting gearknob fell apart in my hand one day so I bought a richbrook one, its quite nice



then after months and months trying to justify £300 of my hard earned quids I bought some abarth headlights, well worth it





then I ordered some pressed plates



painted the grille black



bought a red badge kit



and then lowered it on some Eibach Sportlines

Got pulled fro the pressed plates last night, very polite officer in a range rover who just said if I change them back to standard he would be happy, so today I put the standards back on, wasnt sure I liked the pressed ones anyway

how much did it cost to lower and how much/where from did u get your red fiat badges

the springs were £167 delivered from deamon tweeks, me and a mate fitted them our selves, the red badges retail at about £50 from Fiat I think, I got a bit of discount for various reasons though

looks great in orange i have never liked orange cars before but yours is stunning

very nice matt, always liked the orange

Looking at your car Matty has made me realise I should have bought the Sportlines and not the Pro Kit

i like how you weren't going to spend a penny kinda failed lol but looking gd lol and for some reason i really like the bump strips on the orange...usually i hate them...

I miss having silver wheels sometimes too!

looks really nice, the mods work very well!

why were you pulled for the pressed plates?

i thought they were legal as long as they were the in the correct font and size

Are you from around or near St. Helens? Remember seeing a gp in your colour in Tesco and I'm sure the reg was he same at the end.

They're not in the proper font from the looks of things.

Yeah Im from St.Helens :wave:

the text on the plates were far too small and far too close to be legal, the actual plate was the same size though. just the writing was different

I think the Orange colour really suits any car! Especially the GP and Focus ST. Shame its not offered on the 500 though.

Audi have started to do the orange.... lol Its on their A3's/S3's.... Nice car Matty, you know orange rules!

saw you today mate going passed the garage car looked mint

Just a few new pictures, had to get a new grille because I lost my standard one on the motorway, an FK one was cheaper than a standard one.
its been on the rolling road and made 138.5 bhp

looking sweet!
wish i had a sporting...

very nice mate looks in very good nic
i like the badge less grill better gonna do mine next
