Cinquecento Chetti's Black Cinq Sporting

[Chetti]

Need to donate before I can upload more pictures. Will get around to that later. You can't tell where the stickers were, used a tar remover and light polish and you wouldn't know they were there. Only mark is on the boot lid where the fiat badge got knocked off and thats been polished and is as good as its gonna get.

If you ignore the spare it's not looking too bad, I've been telling people it's like Nemo's lucky fin.

 

[cheeky cinqy]

give it a machine polish, new tyre, polish exhaust and respray orange trim and you'll be onto a winner looking better

are you missing an alloy? I have a cinq alloy PM me

 

[Chetti]

New tyre and exhaust are on the cards for next month as well as an air filter. The exhaust has a few holes in it and came up as an advisory on last years MOT, and we all know last years advisories are this years fails. The orange strips will be done at some point too but not sure when yet.

Not missing an alloy it's just in the boot. The place we get tyres from didn't have any for mine and I haven't got around to getting to anywhere else for another. Thanks for the offer though

Had to leave the beast at work the other morning. Came out of work to this



The car was too light to get any grip even with a 2nd gear start.

And something tells me I'm a bit heavy handed with my driving





Got my windows stickered up now as well

 

[Chetti]

Got that tyre sorted finally. Managed to get it for £20 local. Just got in from having the car cleaned and it's looking nice sat on the drive. Just waiting for the heavens to open.

I've had rain, sleet, snow and sunshine in the last half hour in York.

I've been quite busy away from here over the past few months so a little update on the car. It's still running as it did. Always starting up with the oil light on and taking an age to go off even with the oil topped up. Still driving round with blowers on full heat otherwise the engine gets too hot. And thanks to the cold weather the drivers side lock isn't working anymore. Need to fix all these things before I get the car up for sale (although my brother may buy it for when he eventually passes his test). I'm moving down to Portsmouth to live with my girlfriend in a few months (shes a fiat driver so it's all good) and I'll be car sharing with her.

 

[Chetti]

As it stands right now. Had just been cleaned so that's not dirt on the front just a reflection of the crap we parked on.

 

[Sir16v]

[jatkinson]

Is it just me or is this car on a massive rake angle?

 

[blu73]
