Cinquecento Bought a Cinq

[fatty]

Never Been into Marshalls but prolly haha. I'm hoping that my Seats, bumper, clutch and Brakes will arrive today. Then I can get it driveable. Then Sort the oil leak and then the fun bits can begin getting it lowered and the bodywork sorted and sprayed.

Whats the best way of removing tints?

Managed to do some work to the Cinq:

First thing this morning I changed the bumper over:

Really pleased with how much better it looks, but I need the side securing bolts and fixtures if anyone has them.

Then this afternoon I sorted out the interior

The door cards were clear perspex sprayed black.......quality.....

You've all seen Cinq door cards so only one pic:

Then took out the SX seats and found some dodginess

The Driver seats rear left hand mounting point looked like this:

Which will have to be plated and re-tapped.

The Passenger seat front right hand was secured with a screw. Took that out to find:

Yup!! Another screw the top screw had been screwed beside it like a wedge!!

Needless to say the screws were re-placed with correct Allen head bolts and the Sporting Seats went in:

I also took out the tints on the back windows which was scarily easy haha and I think it looks waaaaaay better

I've also got it booked in for the clutch to be re-placed and have recieved my brakes which I will fit over the weekend.

The perspex rear door cards, SX seats and front bumper are free to a good home if anyone wants to come and pick them up.

No there will be a few choice mods but it will be mostly subtle things, de-badge and de-wiper the rear, lower it, anthracite Tempra 14" wheels and then probably some cheapy bolt on performance mods. Depending how everything gos I want it to be 1242 powered over the winter, but before that it needs a respray really.

Are you still looking for some Sporting front door cards as I have a pair?

In fact, I have the rear door cards too but I see you already have those. For the front I've got the cloth parts and the pockets but if it's just the cloth bits you're looking for you can have them for £15 posted before I bung them on eBay.

Quick pic, nothing flash but they match the Sportings seats.

Thanks for the offer but I have the Sporting front doorcards.
