Styling My Abarth Speedline Alloys

[RetroPanda]

Just thought I'd show off my Abarth Speedlines.







Acquired a few weeks ago, since then they've been sprayed gunmetal silver, got new tires, speedline vinyls and given new centre caps.

Will be going on the Panda next week hopefully

Nice alloys. These were orignally fromthe abarth Cinquecento's right?

Should look good on the panda, but only downfall I saw with alloys and low profile tyres on my panda is the arch gap was huge!

Gonna have to read through a few threads and see what else you've done/got planned.

That's correct yeah. And I agree, I have some standard cinq alloys on at the moment and the arch gap is far too big. I've got new springs that will lower it 40mm so hopefully they'll look more fitted then...

 

[CLXCraig]

yeah it was the normal cinq sporting alloys I had on mine. gap was ridiculous! 40mm drop should look perfect with these, careful on full lock though! Remember too the front end will be slightly heavier with your new engine (not a significant amount) and that weight will lower the car down too.

Are you keeping it stock other than these mods or have you got more planed?

Craig

 

[RetroPanda]

Yeah, more or less. I have new front and rear shock absorbers to fit and I plan on switching the standard white pin stripe down the side for a red one, to go with the red bits on the wheels. I'd also quite like some mudflaps for it, nothing really planned other than that at the moment though

 

[CLXCraig]

Mudflaps eh... might still have a few kicking about, will have a look in the next few days when I get some time to see if there's any you'd be interested in.

I do like alloys and these look especially nice. Look forward to seeing them on the car.

.. Love the wheels, will look great on a lowered Panda.

Now I cant wait to see it finished!

I imagine you've already seen the latest pics on my build thread, but I thought I'd complete this thread with some pictures of the wheels actually on the car
