Have you lost them? I believe that all b's shipped with the spacers on, they are about 5 or 7mm so they will make the difference between rubbing and clearing the inner wings!

I believe that previous owner had taken them off when fitting those borbets.. :confused::(

I think I have to try to find/buy orginal ones somewhere.. In Finland there are pretty tight laws about spacers, they should be made by car manufacturer or rim manufacturer (if I remember correct) if you want them to be road legal..

Have to work something out before mot..

There are usually quite a few sets of them on eBay.de, if not Eibach do a set that fit (I believe).....

Yep, have to keep looking.. :)
I found this 10mm set made by supersport, its made for barchetta and it has TÜV § 19.3 certificate so I guess its road legal (Have to get confirm for that before ordering..)

I guess I have to get new bolts too if going with that.. :rolleyes: €€€

One solution would be asking from local fiat dealer for orginals, but I can just guess what they cost.. :D
 
Long time no see!.. :D

Nothing really new, been busy with some other things.. :(
For those spacers I decide to go with orginal ones (hope I get them before MOT)

I find this guy who imports parts for italian cars straight from Italy (delivery times.. :( 3-4w), just have to hope that there are right parts coming now.. If not, have to find some old Fiat Tempra.. heard that they share same spacers.. :confused:(y):D
 
And again, long time no see! :D
Have had set of tempras spacers on b for couple weeks now, can confirm that they fit.:)

Lots of things happened, now b has new proper warm garage for cold nighs etc. (y)

Tomorrow it would be judgements day, its time for MOT. Hope it wouln't fail. :worship:
 
Yeah.. B is motted & sun is shining.. :D
then there is this big but..

Washed & cleaned b today, parked it under my kitchens window (where it allways sleeps), then I get inside house and maybe something like 30m-1h later my alarms remote control gives this silent alarm that someone is hammering b's windows, I ran out and this was what I saw:

:mad::eek::bang:
 
Yep.. Nothing stoled etc.. :confused: Now b sleeps under car cover waiting for new window. Hope barchettaparts.com has fast delivery.. ;):worship::mad:
 
sorry to hear that. :(

back to b, planing to order spare windows too from barchettaparts.com, you cant never have enought b parts.. ;)
 
@ Lee : condolenses
but.. since i am a heartless bastard: my there'll be an inheritance to help funding the hallway

@ B_97: i didn't expect that you lived in a crime-riddled place? What happened? Saw anyone?
In any case this is why one should live in a rural environment... if you live in the countryside you can keep a shotgun... loaded with rocksalt
