Not done much lately as I've been working 24/7 for last month! Have been able to fit new top mounts as last ones were knocking like mad! :S
Also got very bored after cleaning in my spare 15 mins so I ended up stripping out my roof lining and A pillar plastics for a more "racey" feel (in my head)
Photos to follow!

Had some fog lights turn up today after needing them for only a year and a half
Getting front indicators as old ones are badly cracked and ordered some "black" power flex rear axle bushes all coming in next few days!

Are they new?

Where are the front indictors coming from? I can never find any at a good price...

 

[seicentoceeney]

Yeh from eBay mate
And indicators are coming from SAS (shepshed auto spares) £8+ vat each so not too bad

 

[RhysThomass]

Owe go to Euro Car Parts for indicators £10.24 for right and left is £9.24 brand new! Brilliant deal picking mine up tomorrow!

And wanted to ask a quick question, do you think I could fit 15 inch Ripspeed alloys to my seicento, Thanks?

Yes you could, tyre sizes are 195/45/15 or 165/50/15 (for stretch)
But you loose torque and generally just slower unless you've got some serious power

as above really, yes you can fit 15s, but for the love of god don't do it haha.

I sort of have to agree, although I found some Alfa teledials which would've looked awesome! But still a bit big really. 14's at most

Spent today waxoyling the rear of Fiona. No rust issues at all an no signs of a previous crash so well chuffed! So just peice of mind knowing I'm not gonna be bit by the rust bug
Although I need a nearly complete over haul on my rear brakes
Also sorry for poor quality pics :S

 

[seicentoceeney]

My lucky day today, jumped a bridge at 80mph today near Sutton Cheney and had a rough landing, worst thing is the release bearing finally shat itself! No real damage apart from a couple of scuffs on the bumper, sump, exhaust, gearbox mount, and a bigger hole in the radiator!
Sorry for poor quality pics :S

Hiya pal, and straight fit. Getting them out is a matter of 4 screws around the grill. Only tough bit is unclipping the wire as the connector is inside the wheel arche

The original fog wire is confusing me and there's no guide on here :/

 

[seicentoceeney]

I took out the inner arch liner and the clip is sorta wrapped around the chassis leg that the bumper bolts to

 

[RhysThomass]

Where I've drawn the circle, does it clip on easy to the original cables thanks

Yep, thats a fiat connector like almost all on the car. Just unplug your old ones and plug in the new ones. If you're determined you can do it without taking out the inner arches.

You may have trouble getting the old foglights out, mine had to be drilled out as they were fully rusted in :bang:
