look on the FF homepage "banner" - there is a link called ePER,
it's the FIAT group parts microfiche - for info only.., good for cross referencing parts..,
BUT I can't see 500's on there ( the panda is 95% same car underneath..,)

any problems when disconnecting battery and reconnecting. like resetting it, just thought id ask

 

[varesecrazy]

CODE shouldn't be an issue , as the cars ECU would recognise it's original radio..,

just an issue if it's non-original,

probably good if you start using the 500 section proper..,

Hezzer, what exactly is the problem with the shock cups?

I've checked on ePer for you; they're not listed separately & the rear beam is frighteningly expensive, so you'd need to look to the aftermarket for an affordable fix.
