My favourite view of the car:
And then it rained!
Loving the Evo! Nice swap on the air vents! really makes it look better and breaks up the grey of the interior!
Been watching this thread and I love the car mate, aswell as the excellent photos.
Really like the gloss black vents aswell

Get yourself a members motors thread started so we can bolster the numbers of Abarth EVOs on FF. Any problems PM me
Not quite, you made a mess of the tags and the link, so neither of them would work. I fixed it for you though.

A PIECE OF ADVICE:
Never buy yourself a nice car, a nice house or anything that you might value in any way because at some point someone will come along and steal/damage/break said thing you value!
Some dirty little pikey f**cker decided that to get his friday night kicks he'd come into our work carpark whilst I was out dragging drunk people into A&E and trying help people. Then he proceeded to run a key along the boot and side of my car leaving several deep scratches. He also did this to several other cars although he worked hardest on mine. Not sure if that was because my car was new or not but suffice to say I'm livid. I doubt this is even covered on my insurance.
I guess I should sell my Abarth and get some POS because then someone can't ruin it for me.

It needs a respray, too deep to polish out and its on two panels.

that is really crap news, i get annoyed when people bang their doors on my car and its a mk2 punto sporting but its mine i worked and saved to buy it, it really annoys me how people just mistreat anything like your car and think its funny,all because their little ****y lives are worthless and they have to make them selfs feel bigger by damaging nicer things, any chance of catching the scum bag??
DTP, that is **** news to say the least. Really unfortunate, what is the world coming to..
As for the scratches, may I suggest a touch up paint, sanding back with wet and dry, then polishing up? It could/can come up as new as I have experience of doing this with my old car, the car is a non metallic as well isn't it?
I would love to help in anyway shape or form.
Dare I say it, get some pictures up mate. I don't want to say it needs a respray, I really don't... Doubt you do either.
I loved the last photo on the last update, with the other evo, the look it gives off is just amazing, to say it's technically a Fiat is unbelievable.

You know where I am buddy if you want a 2nd pair of hands to buff that paintwork. Might look less painful if we get Don-Z on the case too. You know what she's like!

Thanks mate... I'm gonna get it looked at tomorrow I think and see what the situation calls for.

No new updates to report. Since it was keyed I've not wanted to spend any money on the car. I've not even washed since it happened. Going to leave it until next year and add some bits for the show season, still not sure what to do about the scratches.
The car is till running well though and with nearly 4k on the clock is bedding in nicely. The exhaust sounds perfect now, not too loud but a nice rumble.
Still need to advertise the scorpion wheels. If anyone is interested, pm me.

did you check insurance?

Although I have protected no-claims, I would have to pay the excess and my premium will increase next year. I'd rather just wait until I can afford to get it either buffed out or resprayed, depending on what it needs.

My old alloys now in the classifieds:
