If you cannot fix that wiper assembly crack, you will need a whole new wiper motor assembly. Mega £££s.
The styling is not to my taste, but that is opinion, so I will spare you the details on that. The one thing that is just plain objectively wrong are the alloy wheels. Get some genuine Fiat alloys, I got brand new ones for about £200.

I Hate Geniune Fiat Alloys Other Than Possibly The Abarth Ones But I Aint Paying Half As Much As My Car For A Set Of Abarths Ive Seen Em Go On Ebay For Up To £900 Second Hand. And Please Help With Wiper Linkage As I Cant Make Heads Or Tails Of It.
A trip to the scrappy, source out a decent linkage and remove the motor, it wont cost the earth

Looking carefully at the cracked plastic, I think you need to remove the wiper motor assembly, superglue in the crack and then holding the sections together with a cable tie while the glue sets. It's got to be a good repair since the forces on the wiper spindle are quite large.
As for the linkages, the Wipex replacement linkages should do the trick. You can use a split pin, but effectively the linkage drops onto the pin, which is not as smooth a motion as a proper ball-joint.

Trust Me If You Think Thats Bad Parking You Should See My Street I Have A Green Outside My House The Size Of A Football Field With Houses The Far Side But The Road Is Only On My Side With A Footpath To The Houses On The Other Side So Cars Just Drive Up The Grass And Offroad it leaving track marks theyve added a central car park now and trees at road side to stop cars but convienantly they are just over car space apart so they just drive between them now.
And As For The Super Glue Idea Ill Take A Pass I Want A Decent Fix I Hate Doing Things 40 Times Over Once And Only Once. Ive Fixed It For Now But Only A Temp Fix Till I Get Parts Ive Bents A Allen Key Through The Hole Under The Linkage To Stop Them Seperating And The Crack Is Holding Up But I Think Ill Buy A Whole Wiper Assembly They Going Cheap On Ebay ATM So I Think Ill Head That Way.

Any association with Abarth, be it badges or the Scorpion decal is a no-no. It reflects badly on the brand when you get out-dragged by a Corsa Twinport. It's a Fiat, not an Abarth. It's as silly as those folk that buy a Renault, and then stick the 'sport' badge on it; as soon as someone peers at the drum brakes through the rear wheels, they know it's not a Renaultsport.
Save your money, put it in an ISA, add more to it and then, in a few years' time, when insurance companies are not completely shafting you, get an HGT.

i agrree about the saving money and not makin the car summat its not
but why say not too get the abarth badges? when everyone dies to put the bumpers and skirts on then evryone says it looks good...when its a standard punto with abarth kit.
If this guy wants the badges i agree he shud not will be fake but then you shouldnt really be encouraging people to mod ther cars by addin abarth and sporting parts (not sayin that you personally do this just sayin as example)
