seicento one is metal.......

and i still love that phrase.


"shifting like a street boss"

Was gonna say I thought the Sei's had a metal shaft.
Won't be changing the GP's gear knob.
Moved the sei today, jeez I forgot how quick it moves compared the the GP.

yeh the gp will be alot slower.

 

[Andi9386]

yeh the gp will be alot slower.

Not by much though.
According to their specs, the GP is only 2seconds slower 0-60
Think it needs an elastic band to move it.
Still it's more comfertable then the Sei

u know 2 seconds is alot ?

But agree with it being comfy in long distance.

But agree with it being comfy in long distance.

yup, 2 seconds is also not really representitive of the difference either, thats just from standing start with it building momentum from 0, in gear from 30-50 for example the gap will be alot bigger because the engine has to re-find it's momentum in the torque band.

get pics of the gp up andi

do you think it would look good with chrome bullet style mirrors off of a mini i want some more character on my car lol

do you think it would look good with chrome bullet style mirrors off of a mini i want some more character on my car lol

no, they wouldnt fit in with the design or style of a cinq at all IMO

 

[Andi9386]

Personally I think that the standard Cinq mirrors look good.

 

[muppet42]

I actually think if you were going for a specific style, the old style Mini mirrors could be a goer on a Cinq...

I think it'd be good for a Euro look or similar. Maybe I'm talking out of my proverbial though :laugh:

they'd look terrible on a Cinq IMO. for a start theres no other chrome on the car to tie the look in so they will stick out like a sore thumb

they are very rounded and the cinq is boxy so it doesnt fit in with the car shape etc

 

[dougie1142]

Just take them off... Less weight + More streamlined.. Just keep the rear view mirror and look over your shoulders

 

[muppet42]

I still think if it was done right it could work BUT you'd need to have an overall style in mind ie Euro for it to work. As Mark and others have said, I don't think it'd go with the rest of the Cinq as is.
