I don't know what's happened to me,
I'm usually quite a purist...but since my 500 has been in the garage
(having the bonnet repaired and repainted along with a couple of other paint spots on the body that I thought might as well see to at the same time)
I've been whiling away the time looking at accessories and modifications for the little thing. Peter look away now!!!
I've decided to install a radio for my 'long' journeys I'll be taking now that the sun is coming back out on the regular.
Toying with the idea of those FIAT mud flaps on the back wheels :/
White walls???
AND..... something a bit more radical which has had me thinking for a while is, 'what is underneath the plastic dash in the L?'
I can't understand why they did away with that lovely metal dash for the 'lusso' version.
I guess if I'm being honest I would actually love to own a Nuova, The metal dash, round speedo and the lovely metal badge on the rear.
But I own an L, so that's that. I do love the chrome on the L and I suppose there's more to life than a round speedo ......(is there???)
But whilst researching what else I could add to my little motor whilst it's away,
(Don't worry, I'm sure it'll stop as soon as I get it back, and I probably won't even manage to bring myself to drill in the cradle for the radio)
I spotted this motor!
Do you reckon the same is under my ugly plastic dash?
Is it fairly easy to remove to check?
