Yes they are Fiats tuning arm, owned by Fiat of course, but they have their own HQ etc in Italy. Abarth had no input on the Panda HP though. The 500 is a different story, as is the GP.Its Peni.
I also like the Abarth badges and may fit some to my car soon, if i keep it.
I thought Abarth were just a tuning arm of Fiat anyway, could be wrong though. Any if you look at the last 10 years of Fiats there have been a few Abarth models, Cinq, Sei , Punto, Bravo etc, and i dont think any of them had anything more than badges , alloys and bodykits compared to the standard models.
At least the 100hp handles better and has more power than the standard model.
He also likes to drive with one hand in his lap - is there a connection?!

I just think it's very naff in the extreme to put Abarth badges on something that is clearly not an Abarth. It's akin to putting cossie badges on a cooking Sierra, or GTI badges on a CL etc.
Well 'Abarth' models that only had badges and alloys aren't real Abarth's at all. This is exactly why when the Abarth badge was effectively relaunched with the 500 and GP, they actually went to town on significant modifications just like the older Abarths.

It's weird how cars seem to have separate rules to everything else....You put leaded windows or a 6-panelled front door on your house, nobody has a go at you for 'trying to pretend your house is Georgian / Victorian'....
Just put the badge on mate . People often have too much to say what others are going to do with their car.

Ok I've kind of changed my tune with this one a little, it's acceptable to have Abarth badges on a Fiat. At least it promotes the brand a little, but the things i hate seeing are "Turbo V6" signs on Ford Ka's and just stupid things like that! As there is no Abarth version of the Panda, then it's not trying to be something that doesn't exist. But putting M badges on a standard BMW for example, would not be acceptable, as this is trying to suggest it's a quicker model.
Does that make sense? I am also a big fan of the Scorpion logo, i've added a few more to my Abarth!
I know what you're saying, but as i said, there never was or never will be a Panda Abarth and everybody knows that. People won't be fooled into thinking it's a quicker model because there isn't one! Different story sticking AMG badges on a base spec C-class, or RS badges on a Ford focus 1.4 or, best comparison yet, Abarth badges on a 500 1.2! Now that is silly!It's a bit like sticking a Cosworth badge on a Fiesta, that's how I see it. But you know if people want to do that to their cars it is of course up to them, but it just makes me cringe.
I remember a while back my fiance had an MR2 Supercharger Super Edition, which was a very rare end of line model. When he got the car it was missing the Super Edition decal on the spoiler above the rear screen. He got a few made up to exactly replicate the original (it was a very original car). He had a few enquiries from other MR2 owners to buy the remaining two sets of decals from him. He refused to sell them to them because though they had MR2's they weren't 'Super Editions'. All you actually do is cheapen the Abarth brand by putting Abarth badges on cars that are not Abarth's.

Yes but it's like sticking Cosworth badges on your Fiesta as there never was a Cosworth Fiesta
But what if you put Cosworth bits on it....Does that make it ok to put the badges on....?
