Introduction
Here it is just after I collected it from the dealers (it's much dirtier now!):
Punto Evo/Supersport (Abarth) My Grey Abarth Punto Evo.

Same mats as me.... The Abarth logo gets dirty quickly.
David love your car I have one in campovolo and I think my stripes are coming off after seeing yours.
Big decision :bang:

Just read this whole thread taking me little under an hour 
Apart from my eyes now feeling tired and sore; you have a cracking car there David.
Colour is nice, makes it stand out. Did like the scorpion wheels but the new ones are equally as nice if not better.
Subscribed to this thread, look forward to seeing any changes/updates.

I specifically asked for no stripes but at that point I'd only seen the grey with red or white stripes. The black stripes look quite cool but I do prefer the clean look.
Each to their own I guess but it is a hard decision to make.

Thanks... Yeah the thread is getting a little long now. The winter is here so I may tinker with a few things and I may get some updates on the car before Brooklands next year.
Dial up the boost and get all your new mods all mapped in Youll be in Essesse territory then

It's already quicker than an EsseEsse... I test drive the new SuperSport yesterday and mine was definitely faster :slayer:
Not bad!! You need to get it rolling roaded to see what your getting! Did forge map in your FMIC, WGA and Intake?

They didn't. I'm not sure what to do on that front. I'm fairly new to engine mods I kinda assumed I could just slap the parts on and buy a TMC box. I'm wondering if a proper map would be the better way to go?
A TMC is almost like a temporary generic engine map, will just change the Air:fuel ratios to give a smoother torque curve it will ignore all other custom mods.
If you wanna get the best out of your new mods, a custom re-map will dial in all your new mods into your map and can be tuned to either push the mods to there full potential and give you potentially huge power gains, or a conservative map can be used to get decent power gains and improve engine longevity

Right the winter is here so it is time to start thinking about the show season next year and what can be done to improve the Abarth.
I have many ideas but I'll keep them to myself until I have the money to act on them but one thing I do want to do is have the wheels done again.
Now the Supersport has been launched, my colour scheme is no longer unique. I fancy something different and top of my list is titanium bronze/gold. Like the ones in this pic:
What do you think?

I was going to say bronze would look nice on your alloys. That would be my choice anyway Best thing about grey/black/white cars - almost any colour would 'match' with a bit of colour co-ordination. :slayer:
p.s. Thank you for the picture at Thetford

No worries. Good to catch up with you guys. I think we ought to have a detailing day once the weather improves next year (or find somewhere indoors).
Hmm... that sounds good! Note taken
Dont really know of any rental warehouses though Tom
I don't even know what a detailing day is, a day of detailing maybe?
I'll have to see what work is like for the next meet. Everyone's cars seem to be far outdoing mine now, so if we convoy, play nice! New car won't be coming until early next year

Detaling day would be just washing cars and comparing techniques
Probably not a good idea until summer next year And if your getting a new car, then it has to be a fiat to be able to attend EI meets
The only reason we let Rigby come along is because he still owns a bravo Only joking dude.. or am I :devil:

Whilst FF has been down...
I have been tinkering with the day running lights on my Evo. I ordered some LED T20 bulbs from eBay for just £5 shipped expecting them not to work and I was right. Errors all over the dash
But it was worth a try for a fiver.
Here's the ugly looking bulbs:

You can clearly see the left is brighter that the bulb on the right:

They look good, but damn resistance is a killer once again
I want some decent LED/xenon sidelights but I cant find any that wont ping up errors
