Bravo My Bravo called " The Car "

Introduction

My Bravo.
I've been adding/changing bits for the last couple of years.
Badges on the rear doors, Chrome Door Sills and Mirror covers.
A bit of chrome round the lower grill. Painted the brake callipers red, as well changing the disc's to EBC Turbo Grooved ones. With Green Stuff Pads.
Also under the engine cover is a DT tuning box.
It's become quite a hot hatch.
My wife said I had to give it a name, so I did. I called it "The Car". ;)
Like the discs and the calliper paint job, if you do go to the cheap car wash places don't let the jet wash to directly spray the calliper as this is lightly to at such force peel! This happened to mine, will require touch up jobs! Just a tip! But nice motor. Nice side skirts will finish the style (my opinion) :)
 
The steering wheels got a bad case of Italian build quality going on, as has other bits on the car.

I've seen replacement wheels on the web for about 300 quid, with a flat bottom. Look a lot like the Abarth 500s, but with a Fiat badge and red or blue stitching(very tasty).
Hesitating.... As not sure how to change the airbag + returning it if it doesn't fit when it's from abroad. Could end up with more probs.

The cars a Dynamic model the old mans version (sorry to anyone who's got one). So the dash is blue, and the seats are even blue'er.

Did you notice the sill plates? There an original Fiat item. The catalogue shows the go on the plastic door trim, but they go below. I had to have them ordered in from Fiat Italy with out seeing them, ended up stuck with um.

Advice taken, cheers

I wouldn't go to the trouble of fitting skirts, or a rear spoiler to it.

Only because of the costs. Skirts list around £230 and the spoilers £170 + painting and fitting, maybe another £500?

Quite exspense do, best putting it towards another.

When I bought it 2 and 1/2 years ago there where not many Sports out there. Even less with leather and climate. I've been impressed with this one enough that if I could find the right one, I would have another.

The Dynamic is far from the old Man's verson, more for the subtle person who likes their toys - well mine is anyway :devil:

Nice to see you've got the best alloys out there :)

Must say sorry to anyone offended by the old man comment.

However, I do think Fiat, Alfa, Lancia never quite get everything right when they build a car.
Make them that bit individual, that's why I keep buying them.

Had account today 4 Alfa's,4 Fiat's and 2 Lancia's over the last 22 years, guton for punishment.
