500 (Abarth) Topolino Grigio

Introduction

Although Bellezza Nera, my Panda 100hp, isn't sold yet, I think it's time to present my Abarth 500, named Topolino Grigio (grey mouse).

ATM it's still on 135 HP, but as soon as Panda is sold it's going to get chiptuned.


Campovolo grey, the best colour IMHO, Climatecontrol, Xenon and leather. I would have liked the Panoroof and Esseesse wheels, but I'm pretty pleased with how it is.

Although it's probably considered to be sacriligious, something had to be added.

But it's like: Now you see me... Now you don't:D

As a matter of fact I'm considering the prancing mouse badge myself:D

Car is big fun! Yesterday I went for a little drive with my boattrailer (to try everything out) and I have to keep reminding me that the boat is on.

Afterwards detached towhook and electrics back in their places and it's invisible again.

The car looks great.

What tow bar did you fit? All that I’ve seen so far say you need to cut the diffuser, but if your’s is cut, you can’t see it.

This is the one I fitted. And yes there is a small square cut out in the bottom of the diffuser. Just large enough for the hook and the releaseknob.
I have however used a different solution for the electrics.

This year it's not going to happen, but I have to be able to tow my RIB to Croatia:D

Today I drove across the country (in a Ducato) and saw 4 (yes I was shocked:eek:) grey Abarths(y)

Thank goodness all different colourschemes were available:D
BTW Bellezza Nera is sold (yeserday) to a very enthusiastic couple. They are going to love it to bits I think. So it has found a good home.

Yes, the 100hp is the only Panda Sport so far, and quick enough to be called Sport.

I'm absolutely certain there is a market for a Panda Sport with a decent engine in it.
A 120-135 hp T-Jet powered 5-door Panda could be a nice alternative for 500/595 Abarth's, if 5-doors are desired.
 
Oops I did it again.
We were both fully vaccinated mid june, but still reluctant to go abroad. Expecting much problems at the various bordercrossings.
But... We just came bac from a 3500 m roundtrip to our beloved Dalmatia in Croatia.
With 170Hp and 300 Nm one has to be very carefull not going (much) too fast.
Olliver: I didn't drive Nur Links:D
As it turned out no one (really NO ONE) was interested in my QR to prove I was vaccinated.
