Cinquecento cinquecento Sporting - nigel

Well guys ..

fogot to put this in here ..
my bro had this cinquecento sat at his for quite a while so i decided to give it a better home after being parked up 9 years

towed it to mine
give it a full service
timing belt
water pump
rear shoes
handbrake cable


while i was there it needed a little bit of welding in the rear quaters , sorted that out , fitted new brake pipes as they looked a little crusty

had a full abarth kit laying round so .. that got fittted
had some Avo coilovers with project silber adjutabletop mounts laying round what i was going to fit on lola so Nige has borrowed them for the time being
also fitted lolas punto Gt3 front calipers ,

since i had fitted the larger brakes , it was perfect time to fit the comp mo5s i had bought of james hensey

fitted my leather interior out of lola as they were just sat in storage

oh also fitter some pressed plates to give it a bit more of a fresher look

so ran round for a few weeks and the batterd old paint work was annoying me .. so it was full respray time

colour i chose was alfa Comp red whats a 3 stage perl paint and painted the roof in Honda piates black

shes doingf well as a daily 6 months on the road and ive dfone about 7k miles in her ,, yeah ive missed driving a cento hahah

Good save!

You are at the zenith of cento ownership!

shes a good old work horse ,doing the job and looking good

I'm so glad you're still a 'centoholic. The 159 is/was lovely but the cinqs are way, way cooler. Good to see Lola is still in your ownership as well.

Hope to see one of your cinqs at SICD next year - and all being well you should see a filthy Scottish grande at an England show too

Thanks Kate, the 159 is still alive and getting the miles put on, lola is slow work
You'll be seeing me up aat hopeton again

What size wheels and lowering springs have you got on it? 1 of mine needs lowering. lovely paint colour.

well long past update .

bought some seats and bought brookys exhaust as my straight pipe was to loud

What shade of pink is that?? Asking for a friend
