Pinin, yes think I am gonna have to get coupe bolts & lockers as stilo ones dont even make the thread in the hub! Tried to test fit them to the front to check wheels & tyres for fouling on suspension. Wheels have 205/50x16's on but think I will instead need 205/55x16 on to get the speedo spot on. Finance Director (missus WNWL) now grumbling about cost and why didnt I buy a complete new alloy wheel package instead :rolleyes:

Sorry I was replying to Hellcat's post on the prevous page :eek: however my answer made sense to your query too! I have a set of coupe bolts in my shed I don't need, however I was going to offer them to hellcat after he asked about another set earlier in the thread.
If he doesn't want them, you have second dibs :)
 
The nice 4 spokes were on the 20V Turbo. They also did 4 x twin spokes on the Plus model, which looked lovely!. Good luck at finding anyone selling the Plus wheels! :D

I bought a set last week :D

I've been lucky, I bought a set for my last Coupe too, just a case of keeping your eyes peeled for months at a time, then pouncing quickly! A shame that my Coupe will be up for sale soon :(

Really, why, after all the money you spent on it getting it right again? :confused: :(

To the bloke with the Tipo - make sure you get 16'' turbo alloys as the non-turbo ones are 15''. The 16vt wheels with the flat sides are easier to keep clean but look like they should be powering a washing machine. Get some 20vt ones. Keep an eye out on ebay or Coupe forums for people selling them or breaking Coupes. Maybe get in touch with carl_t on the Coupe forum as he breaks Coupes IIRC or one of the specialists such as Powerfiat, Motormech - they may be able to point you in the right direction :)
 
Sadly i'm selling because 1. money and 2. lack of time!

The first Coupe was my daily driver when I was working full time, then I gave up work in July to concentrate on the businesses. I sold my blue Coop as you know, but but really missed it, so I bought Geoffs car in August.

Since then I have only driven about 1000 miles (and over half of that was last weekends Coupe meet), and spent about £2000 on the car, probably more. It seemed daft to keep spending that amount of money when I just don't use the car. I can use the money I get for that car (about £4.5k) to put into more stock for this year.

I will almost certainly buy another Coupe in the future, but at a time when I can afford to have a car sat on the drive.

:)
 
Sammi and I will be at Pauls on Saturday too, picking up my Coupe (fingers crossed).
Yes, it's the aux belt.

Some 16VT had 15" wheels too. 15" wheels are 15x6.5"

I have 20VT wheels on my Tipo. I thought they were 16x7" but maybe they are 16x6.5"
