I've had that in my eBay watch list for about 2 years now haha! Never been quite tempted enough to try it, you will have to get photo's up regardless of whether you like it or not!

ok will do

Just been and picked it up feels a quality item, Just thinking now how best to prep it for painting?

what colour are you going to do it
if it was me 800 grit sandpaper all over then paint its satin black

Going to do it Gloss black, sandpaper was what I was thinking to get a base to maybe use Plasti-Kote as plasti-dip doesn't do Gloss black

Its silver underneath the black paint on it now, I think Plasti Kote will work better as its weather and heat proof and it comes in super gloss black and can get all the primer and lacquer as well can go slow and get it perfect.

Then its getting the tiger seal right don't know wether to bolt it on aswell?

Think that might be the best bet to be honest going to have to get the bolt and nuts for it then, source them. Unless I can find a fitting kit for it?

Update:- Not got the splitter fitted yet not had the time with work but Ive had the chance today to do an oil change and also got her booked in for a Timing Belt, Water Pump, Coolant Change and Aux belt change. Got a quote of £80 for labour and I bought the parts for £77 so all in all only £157 does this sound about right?

Update:-

Got the Linea Race Splitter fitted and Ihttps://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/data/500/IMG_09802.JPG think it looks amazing better than I ever expected. Here's a couple of photos of it, tell me what you think?




Also a little picture of my FiatForum Sticker!!

looks great mate , your car is tempting me to get the abarth lights now , i like the splitter but i think my car is riding to high for a splitter just now tbh

Looking spot on mate. Will have to see it sometime soon! Get yourself to modified nationals next year

Update,

Just had the car back from having both front bearings being done and also full disc and pad change front and back, still seems to be a slight hum so going to have the back ones done as well when money is available.

Also noticed that my lights behind the heater control have gone out so I've ordered some bulbs to replace them so will get that sorted as soon as they arrive.

nice little update there mate. my brakes need doing too man. Need to see yours again since the splitter! Sean you interested in modified nationals in may? Few beers, get a stand set up. Need 5 cars minimum
