Right so im a complete newbie to the fiat world having been on the dark side of Peugeots pretty much all my life!!

so moving onto my little Seicento Sporting 1.1......

I want to keep the car looking clean with a few little engine tweaks here and there, as i am a fan of the low n slow as well as the race look too...

Future Plans:
Lower 50mm
Strut Braces
Something wheel related
Clear Indicators
Aero Wipers
Sportex Exhaust
Induction Kit
Cold Air Feed
Mattig Wing Mirrors
Colour Coding

Right so heres how the car looks in all its standard glory - there are a few dents here and there but that will be sorted soon...



the car has cinquecento sporting alloys because I kinda prefered them and where in better condition lol

so today (24/8/11)

most of my bits arrived - im still waiting on my mattig mirrors atm, but as they will require lots of work not major worried at the moment.

Had these fitted in around a minute!!!


i found these fairly hard to get hold of as most scrappies didnt have them lol

These were brand new off ebay and fully emarked!! prefer these so much to the originals and took roughly 2 minutes each side (amazed at how easy theyre to work on touch wood)

Ive always like the pressed alloy numberplates that are available, but didnt want to get the italian style ones, instead I opted for the UK legal ones, £26 off ebay, really good quality and come with the charles wright font etc etc

right now theyre stuck on with double sided tape, has anyone any better solutions to keep them on??


they make the front n rear end look so much cleaner and smooter too..

Since ive owned the car the wiper hasn't worked, so i decided to take it off (yes it rains heavily where I live and I have coped fine. I also read about the guide on how to fix the motor so may give that a bash.)

To plug the whole i purchased some plastic bungs off ebay - 10 for 2 quid!! i researched on here first to get the diameter lol



sorry the picture is so dark but by the time id finished everything it was lol
still needs a damn good clean!

so this is it how she stands atm:


like I said i will get some better pictures once its daylight and shes cleaned, next i wanna get colour coding the handles and sidestrips where that orange 'flash' is (anyone know if its a sticker - i thinks it is, will it be painted underneath? also im having a difficult tim sourcing grigio steel 647 spray paint, soon as i get that I can do the door handles etc.

Hopefully tomorrow my Mattig mirrors should be here...

Enjoy..

keeping an eye on this thread, where you from.? Whats your realistic next mods
??

from berkshire, realisticly looking to get a decent idea as to how the mattig mirrors shape up, next mod is probably the cold air feed/induction kit.

Right looks like my mattig mirrors are a no show, had to open a dispute with ebay etc etc


right so a few new pix
sorry bit shaky was tryna get them before dark, i think the wheels are gonna go black with a hint of either blue or lime green.

im really interested in how the plates look

these are the ones i have:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pressed-M...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c1d5a5b55

they do look really good - have all the stamps/marks etc needed for mot etc really reflective too

small update, purchased a green cotton panel filter, waiting to be delivered. still being pissed around with my mattig mirrors so had to buy another pair - which luckily are at the depot lol so come tomorrow should have my panel filter, and mirrors (both pairs hopefully.)

Re: Mattig Mirrors

right well so here is one of the sets of mattig mirrors i purchased - theyre off a renault 5 gt turbo with the backing plates smoothed in, now gotta try n work out how the hell to fit them - would it be best to bond straight to bodywork?


also tonight hoping my panel filter will be waiting for me.....

Re: Mattig Mirrors

looking good my only idea on fitting the mirrors would be if there is holes for bolts drill holes in the bodywork so they are aligned and bolt it and also a squeeze of tigerseal to seal it.

Good luck fitting them

Re: Mattig Mirrors

Good luck with your project

The orange on the sides is just a sticker, there is however a very small hole under it though, just a tiny one, can be covered with a tiny little bit of silver SAV and you can't tell

Re: Mattig Mirrors

Right well after much back n forwardness, my other mattig mirrors arrived today!!! as did my green cotton panel filter (sorry no pix)

these mattigs do not cme with backing plates so am in 6 minds whether to as above ^^^^^^ n drill or fabricate new backing plates:

Re: Mattig Mirrors

I'd just throw them in the bin :yuck:, but each to there own

Seicento and DTM mirrors = gash. I had them fitted on mine for a couple of years.



You lose all width to the car, and for stance it's all about width .

Thanks
