anybody got some ideas on wheels? I'm really finding it hard to find a nice affordable set that will match the car that are 17s!

im amazed at how clean your scuttle panel is! thought you had resprayed it, what did you use?

its simoniz jet black bumper restorer. i was really happy with the outcome to. I only planned to do the scuttle panel because it was basically grey but then after it come out that black i used it on every bit of black plastic on my car haha. i havent washed it for about 2 weeks and its still black!

this is the stuff

Simoniz SIM30 500ml Bumper Restorer - Jet Black: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike

going to have to get some of that for myself haha my panel is a very nasty shade of grey compared to the other black plastics

I heard today if you mod your car with original fiat parts (example: abarth headlights) you don't have to declare them as long as they're original because you can just say they broke and you had to replace them? oh and my car already had alloys on and when I'm doing insurance quotes i look at the mods part and it only ever has 'alloys' so surely I can just swap my alloys and it wont change. HELP

UPDATE COMING SOON

not too sure mate, I havent declared anything but thats cause all ive done is little things like respray grill, vinyl here and there etc which i cant see as needing declaring, plus it can be removed quickly. Probably best to check with your insurer, id say any type of wheels need declaring so that they can replace them in the incident of a accident, saying that an old mate of mine crashed his punto and managed to remove his alloys, angel eyes and other bits before the police even turned up, but I wouldnt try that one!

UPDATE

got my fog lights back nice and orange. will upload pictures in a few minutes. not very good pictures at the moment I'll take some good ones once i cleaned the car
found some cheap BBS wheels not sure witch ones any thoughts?

Fog lights are on.

Be careful with mods like, if you dont declare most ones and plod pull you likely they might take further action on it. As for the alloys as long as there fiat alloys you should be ok. Ive got fork alloys on my blue 1.9 and they look pretty decent. I got mine brand new off ebay for 300 theres some more on from the same guy. Looking good so far though.

these end soon but he gets a lot in so i would be sure he'll have some more. I just bought a courier off ebay to collect them was simple.

Also I dont know what kind of music your into, but I have found that a sub can make a big difference to the quality of sound coming out of the system.

yeah stole the fog idea from my friends beemer lol. thanks for that link I'll keep an eye out for when he has some more and for the sub i already have a ten and 15 inch sub waiting to go in with their amps. oh do you know if you can fit a sub to the stock head unit or will i need an after market one?

would you not prefer an aftermarket Head Unit anyway mate?

not really. i do like them but i like my head-unit how it all matches in atm haha

fair enough haha, cant argue with that. I'm sure it is possible.
