Panda 100hp from Belgium

[ittaifasttipo]

Hi Guys,

i got myself a panda 100hp. hoping to learn from you guys.
i'm 26 years old, and this is my car history:

1st car (2002): (no pictures)
VW golf 2, 1,8petrol
2nd car(2004): (no pictures)
Fiat tipo 1,8 granturismo (i visited this forum back then... hence my nickname)
3d car (2007):
Fiat Punto mk1 1,7TD
4th car (2009):
Audi A4 B6 avant 1,9tdi
5thcar (2011):
Audi A4 B6 avant 1,9tdi Multitronic
6th car 5/2012, and a car i will hopefully drive for a while is the 2007 Panda 100HP. it has 74000 km (46600miles)

i don't have lots of pictures of it, but they will follow. i have been driving it, not taking pictures of it.
So far, apart from pampering it, changing the timing belt, giving it new tires, all new filters and fluids i changed the logo's, added some abarth badges, put on a Ragazzon rear damper.

Further plans are better/lower suspension, some power mods, and lots of detailing.

i hope i will be able to learn a lot, and maybe even help out some myself.

cheers.

Buddy, I'm jealous! I'm in the market for one too - just can't find the right one at the moment!

Also a newbie too!

Let us know how you get on with it! Sounds like you've done a fair few bits already!!

received my new carpets today, i really like how the "100HP" came out.
Also took a picture from the rear.

I haven't been on this forum for so long. Thought I would update a little.
The panda has been through a lot. Here is how it looks at the moment. Will try to update more often.

 

[ittaifasttipo]

as you can see, it is sitting really low. Just the way I like it. Next mod is wheels...

What's done so far:
- fiat 500 coilover kit KW V1
- ragazzon back exhaust
- removed rear wiper
- pipercross induction kit
- flatblade wipers
- Philips silverline indicatord
- yellow foglights

That's one bad mother of a drop!! Love it
And like your yello fog lights

That's loooooow!! But I like lol

No speed bumps in Begium i presume.
My Panda is lowered 30mm at the rear and 40mm at the front.
Lower would not be wise IMHO with all speed bumps we have overhere.

Cool car though.

 

[ittaifasttipo]

Belgium has loods of speedbumps + the worst roads in Europe. Seriously, sometimes I think I should get a lift kit instead of a drop.
I slow down for speedbumps, always have... No trouble.

Next mod is wheels...

What plans do you have wheel wise. ?

 

[ittaifasttipo]

At the moment I'm leaning against Team dynamics pro race 1.2 in 7x16 ET25. Matt black or gunmetal grey.

Something like these.

 

[ittaifasttipo]

Yes, very much so! Are these yours?

Nope, just looked into them for the Panda 3, 7x16" offset 30.

Today i changed the crappy gaiter on the panda. I used a grey leather one from eBay. Came out pretty nice.

 

[ittaifasttipo]

So, a couple of small updates:
-switched the crappy hatch strap for something classier... And more useful
-got rid of the rear wiper... I don't use it + it cleans up the rear of the car quite a bit.
-got the Ragazzon exhaust fitted. I also have a Novitec double exhaust... Not sure if I like it though.






I have an awesome upgrade coming up... I'm just waiting for it to arrive.

 

[cooperman]

Wow and d'oh,
I was hoping removing the rear wiper wouldn't look that nice but that looks sooooo clean great job my friend! what did you use to cover the hole??
Trouble is now I may have to do it, thought it would be interesting to see it with out the rear spoiler also to go for that super clean look!

Looks great. I de-wipered the rear last week. purchased a 3 pack of gromits from Halfords for a couple of quid. Cracking cheap mod and saves weight too.

 

[cooperman]

God now I am tempted!! Think I will pop the spoiler of also to just see what it look likes maybe!! Is the spoiler held on with silicone as wall as the 2 bolts?
Harey what size gromits did you buy from halfords???
