Finally sorted some pics (hopefully!)

[Kristian]

I've been posting on here for a few months now and thought i should show you guys my ride. so here it is...

here's a picture of my powerflow stainless steel catback system

my latest mod is a set of lenso RS5's. i'm well pleased with how they look which was lucky considering their price tag!lol.

my next mod is going to be some -40mm lowering springs to stop it looking like a monster truck! lol.

send us your comments and modding ideas!
cheers again, Kristian

yeh its only a 1.4 unfortunately but due to mental cash stealing b***ard insurance companys its all i can afford!lol. im hopefully getting it lowered in 2 weeks, then im after a set of abarth skirts and spoiler! yeh those orange side repeaters do stand out a little bit!lol.
as you can tell by the picture of the girl (my girlfriend) she is as excited about my car as i am!lol. also she's informed me to tell you all that she's not ginger its really blonde, just kind of looks that way in the photo!!lol.
any more suggestions and comments would be great.

wheels cost me £600 with toyo proxies and p+p from wheelbase, which i suppose isn't too bad at all! definitely look a bit different on a bravo!

 

[Zenith]

I didn't mean it like that. Mines a 1.4 too , and yeah it was all I could afford when I was 17.

 

[kristian]

yeah the 1.4 is a perfect car from the younger drivers like myself! shes alot quicker than my first car, but still not too high on the insurance group! ive only had a bravo for about 4 or so months and i can tell im hooked already!lol. hopefully going to have it all ready for summer meets!! watch this space.

Re:

Another 1.4 here due to insurance!!

Your choice of alloys and exhaust are really good.

Was thinking of that exhaust but decided on the DTM flat oval 'letterbox' upswept.
And 5 spoke alloys make it so much easier to clean.

After lowering, whats next?

Re: Re:

Also another 1.4 due to insurance! I'm a Brava owner though, and quite a new one. I like what you have done with your Bravo, The alloys are looking sweet!

I'm not to sure what to do to mine now, im on a very low budget (student hehe). I'm saving for my spoiler and im sorting out the exhaust but after that im not too sure what to do.

Here's a pic of my motor

same exhaust as me mate. mine on hgt and sound brilliant.

Nice cars there...

On the Brava, i would fit clear repeaters and lower it...(colour coding the bumpers can be a bit costly for a student )

Black bumpers on white do actually look alright imo.

The subtle standard Fiat spoiler does look very good on the Brava - nothing too 'in-yer-face' but is noticeable.

I didnt think the black bumpers looked too bad either. For the moment anyway...

i want to get the clear side repeaters, thanks for that advice.

Getting it lowered...Now i've heard many stories about the ride being uncomfortable when its lowered, im a bit apprehensive about this one. It would look great lowered but i dont want to change how comfortable it is at the moment. Does anyone have any opinions or bad experiences about lowering a brava/bravo?

the lower you go, the harder it gets. the arches on the bravo come quite low luckily, so you can lower it the mimimum 30mm, and it'll look very tidy. theres not many of us gone below 40mm, and they all look great. I'm riding on eibach springs that claim -33mm all round. In truth they are about 30mm up front and 20mm at the back. looks great, and with the abarth bodykit, the thing looks like its been slammed 100mm!

Go to a 60mm drop and you'll wear your shocks out more quickly, and suffer a very firm and bumpy ride, so i'd strongly advise against it if you want to drive on british roads, and not just a racetrack. also, the lower you go, the more your insurance will decide to bump up your premium. my insurers told me they wouldn't insure a car dropped more than 60mm from standard. that said, they wont do modified cars anymore, except for alloys and up to £500 of ICE. Those are 'normal' modifications they tell me.

meant to say. the ride quality is fine on the 30mm eibachs. wouldn't know it was any different from standard except on very rumbly surfaces, and thats partly down to having alloys anyway.

Love those wheels! They're beautifull! I'm also a 1.4 man due to mr insurance but its not all bad! Clear repeaters will make a good difference for minimal cost next!

Heres mine.
