Introduction
This is Fizzle my 1994 Fizz
Panda (Classic) Fizzle :)
- Thread starter panda panda
- Start date
Or very flat...
I think it's just because it's one of those aero-type blades (like I have on the Punto and Mk3...).

Nope, should still sit and park in the same possition
I think you should remove the Fizz decals and get someone to make up Fizzle ones in the same style

I stick on every bit of plastic body trim I can find and what gets discussed
A wiper blade :bang:
Any road up, you remember the mismatched drivers door:
Had some more paint mixed today.
Now when it was used on the passenger side old and new paint blended nicely.
Maybe I should have told the paint shop lad this was for the drivers side.
I did use a different primer but still....
Never mind might be better in the morning:devil:

Funny how both colours look better matched on screen than in real life!

Yes I was thinking of that, maybe just in white and grey perhaps?
Or just in black? It's another decision for another day
I noticed that not all Fizz's have the 'windmill' shapes like Fizzle does too.
Peter rainbow's green Fizz hasn't got them.
I could so easily go OTT with the black and red theme but how far is too far?
I thought it was just a different weird looking blade but does appear to park in a different position.Nope, should still sit and park in the same possition
I will try and drag this wiper topic out, everyone ignore all the plastic CLS has stuck on and the painting of the door, we must get to the bottom of this weird wiper blade! :devil:
Fizzle's looking great John, making good progress.Like the black & red thing.
Looking great! The side plastics make all the difference too nice touch with the red Fiat badges on the rear plastics

Fizzle was a good original car.
And now he's better
Had a feeling your brain had gone into 'that's not how it came out the factory!!!!' meltdown there

Well he was original-ish with added extra's of rust and fresh air where metal shouldv'e been.
I look upon it as 'enhanced preservation' , all I've done is add a few more holes (which could be filled in just like the rusty ones) to add a few things I always wanted on a Panda, roof bars and side trims.
I grant you the rear spoiler is a bit silly but it's on now and would only be 3 holes to fill if I want to take if off.
Chin spoiler has made a nice place to put the fogs and will unbolt from the bumper with no visible damage.
I'm having fun doing this to my car, I've never done it before and may not again, who knows one day I might strip it all off!
Fizzle might not be to everybody's taste, but he only has to be to MY taste. :nerner: :devil:

Other side done, disappointed with the paint match, last can was superb but never mind, Fizzle will get a respray one day
Really miss those decals on this side, will have to do something about that! :devil:
Ran out of paint just as I was doing the grille so that's gonna mean another can to finish off, typical !

Is it just me or does this look like the worlds first Robin Panda three wheeler?
And here's a really poor mock up of my painted bumper idea:
Hmmm :chin:

The threat of the oncoming monsoon season prompted me to finally get wheel arch liners back on Fizzle.
I also resprayed the grille in the 'colour matched' paint, couldn't get the chrome bars off so they got sprayed to match the black and red theme.
Probably should have left it all another day to dry as my 'dabs' are forever on Fizzle now
Any ways, here's how He's looking now...
I may be coming around to the idea of clear indicator lenses
Just a bit different from this...
It's a bit like looking at a picture of yourself from years ago, makes me feel all nostalgic - even though that photo was taken six months ago.

I know, it's lovely - apart from the interior. :yuck:
Still Fizzle was cheaper and available when I was looking.
If anyone wants a Fizzle look-a-like...
Yup, looks nice with clear indicators

Hello! Just scanned down all the 42 odd pages!
Panda's come on really well, Personally i do like the black steelies!
My MK3/4? (the new old one) Panda had the same wheels, with the Seicento center caps, painted black to match.
If this gives you some idea of how it might look
But now i have a Cinquecento, so i am derusting tomorrow thanks for mentioning KuRust iv been trying to remember what it was called!:bang:
