Very nice, al looks very well done and nice tasteful and balanced mods.

What stereo is that you've got fitted?

thanks mate. I'm on Kenwood DDX 5032

Do you have any plans to tune it?

Will be doing so after intercooler and minor stuffs.

wow! great car mate, defo the best bravo i have seen :slayer:

Thanks. Appreciate that!

Holy pagoda, that looks awesome!
Similar styling i'm working up on my own white bravo.
Except yours kills mine! Hahaa.


Just a wee question, where can I get front and back Abarth badges? It's either that or I pay a lot to get the bodywork smoothed out and debadged.

Haha. Post some pictures when your done.. Front abarth badge can be purchase from ebay. The rear will not fit due to mechanical clip so what i did was custom made some vinyl and stick over

very nice, is defiently slammed and i love the pro race alloys

Thanks. Will be dropping the front slightly more

best one i have seen, 4 sure :yum:

Cheers mate

Here's how my side vinyl is like in closeup

A little slideshow for my bravo.

 

[MarkRacoon]

AAAH... you have a more subtle approach to the logos - cewl.

the Springs are Eibach 30/30 mm proKit. will be fitted this weekend. hopefully

Yours is K&W ? ...looks cool but very low in the front?! :slayer:dont you have to be very careful driving around on uneven terrain? like speedbumps etc.?

Well, I'm thinking I might possibly get the front one (I assume the front bumper needs to be taken off for fitment?) and i'll think i'm just gonna get the back badge removed and smoothed over, so that the boot is flat and completely badgeless.

Also, I don't know why, but I have MASSIVE gaps from my wheel to my wheelarch side, as if the wheels are further into the middle of the car than they should be. Is there any spacers I could buy that would push them out a tiny bit?

That's right. Our bumps here are as high like moutains. I've had a small sticker pasted on my rear so drivers behind will know why

Yes mate. Bumper needs to be taken so as to get direct access to front grill. I've seen a blue bravo on the web somewhere with smoothed boot, looks great imo.

Mark is right. Get some hubcentric spacers and it will make alot of big difference. If i recall correctly, stock rims offset should +31 so getting 20mm - 22mm will look flush. I'm on 32mm spacers btw

Great. Thanks for the link!

Alex, how did you make the chrome on your upper grille, black?
I notice that the lining is still there, so I'm assuming its just painted?
I'm guessing that the mid section in between and the lower front bumper is just painted too?

 

[danny120T]

hi alex
where did you get your abarth badges from? i have found some on ebay but they say there for the grande punto or will they fit the bravo aswell? are they easy to fit aswell?

thanks Danny120T

Re: Alex's Bravo T-Jet

Got this babe in 2007.. been having it for about 2yrs now. Just want to show some pictures after a polish/wax session.

Hi Alex very nice. May i know your rim size, 18?

 

[twincamms]

I was just thinking that, they look like 19s.

Do the front wheels touch the arches at any point?

 

[xelifhelif]

very very nice, good work! i also would like to know what size your alloys are and how far was it lowered?

Why did you painted your Bravo to Blue? White is so much nicer color!h

 

[punto_matt]

Looks nice but you should of left it white or done it a colour that isnt a standard fiat colour.

 

[alex2405]

it's hard to keep a white car clean and i've always wanted a blue ride this is a different shade from maserati blue, color taken from subaru's blue

 

[B.L.A.C.K Grande]

I love this car! I think im going to have to get one.
