Tuning 1.2 500 Abarth rear conversion

Abarth rear conversion on my Fiat 1.2 500 Sport


The series 4 bumper was a direct swap and the garage put the exhaust on for £75

Did you connect the lights or just leave in original position

Ohhh it’s Gino!! Looking good!! I bet the exhaust sounds good! You should connect the lower lights and wire up the newer rear lights … they would look great on your car!

Very nice - I've toyed with that idea myself for my 1.2S. Does it have that lovely growly sound like an Abarth?

I presume an adapter section had to be used with the exhaust (if the Abarth pipe is thicker than the regular one) - do you happen to know what diameters are involved? As I think realising that was the point I shelved the plan last time!

I haven't connected them, I was going to put matte black wrap over them but the added reflectors make my car more visible so im going to leave it as is.

Edit: The garage fitted the exhaust, I do know a pipe reducer was needed but not sure on the diameters

Awesome. Amazing how good the FIRE engines can sound.
