My new Abarth :D

I've actually had it a few weeks but haven't got round to sorting these pics out. I placed an order which was due in early December but 5 minutes after selling the Barchetta a few weeks back, the dealer phoned to say that they had a few in stock that might suit.

Ended up getting a car that had 17" alloys, climate control, chrome mirrors, chrome gear knob and a sun roof over and above my ordered spec (leather was the only option I chose). As I was car-less it seemed a good way to go though and I love the electric sunroof...makes up for the loss of the Barchetta a little. The alloys also do look a lot better than the standard 16" fellows.

I presume you can buy those wheels from FIAT/Abarth. Think they were an extra £150 over the standard 16" alloys so I'm guessing they won't be cheap - £600?? really not sure.

Not sure about any stickers. The outside will be staying as it is as I like the pure black....evil :D

Wouldn't mind a few more scorpions inside though. There's only one compared to eight outside including the wheels
 
A few Abarth dealers order the alloy upgrade as it's only £175, then they put the SS kit on and sell the other set for £700 with rubber, which is cheap! But if you want to order them "brand new" as it were, they're around £1600 to £2000 i think. So;

1) buy an Abarth and get the upgrade, pay £175
2) buy an unused set from a dealer for around £700
3) buy a new set from a dealer for £2000 a set!

Choice is yours ;)
 
cheers for that mate i will look around for them,

ile try and get me self an unused set from a dealer!
 
I know someone who has just had the call that his Abarth SS is ready to collect . With that SS comes wooden crate that has a few new bits from his stock SS. One of which is a new. unused set of petal alloys that might be up for sale :rolleyes:
 
Looks good (y)

I think the 10-spoke wheels give a more contemporary look, whereas the petals, more of a retro look. I also like the standard 16's:slayer:

I also think the black leather is the best option - would be even better if you could choose what colour stitching.
 
It does look good in black(y).
I said i would never have a black car , but my RS2K is black and it looks good when clean.
I have speced the other wheels the black ones.
but no leather. and going to put my own stripes on it when i get it.
:):):)
Enjoy it...........
