Seicento my little red sporty curvy box

[Cento186]

Very nice, looks to be in good nick, almost the same as mine (just less faded)!

I've also gone for the schumacher side skirts as well but I will put some abarth badges on instead. I wasn't sure whether to put them on as they make the wheels look smaller

thanks mine has two little dings on the drivers door but seems ok,
and yes abarth badges would look better because then its not copying a schuey lol. and my wheels do look smaller but thinking of painting mine black with red pinstripe for now, would love some 14" abarth wheels but they are quite expensive for what they are so am thinking of waiting until next payday and getting some new 500 wheels and spraying those black lowering is also on the cards as the handling is pretty hilarious compared to my lowered cinq

Well if you want abarth badges now is the time

Looking good! Reasonably spotless sees are getting rare now! If you get annoyed with the faded paint Anymore drop me a pm and I can sort you out a full enhancement detail at a good price keep up the good work!

sei's this young have top coat on (well my '00 x-reg does anyway), can't see how you can bring them back to proper red tbh. You can't just use t-cut or the like, trust me i have tried on mine.

 

[Cinq mad lad]

so even a good mop wont help?

 

[blu73]

i'm no expert on car cleaning/detailing products but i can't see how any of them can do anything through top coat... A previous owner of my car has tried to tcut or similar what appears to be a scrap on one of the rear arches but all thats they have achieved is buffing off the top coat leaving a horrid patch of paint - looks terrible in sunshine but you can't see it when the car is wet. I just live with it tbh.

 

[Cinq mad lad]

hhmmm.... might have to save up and get the rear resprayed then :/ not too fussed though but it would look lovely if it was a deep red again

 

[blu73]

i had a r-reg (1998) punto in red once, that didn't have top coat and would go really lush red again when polished but my seicento doesn't. No idea when they started using top coat but there is only 2 years between the punto and my current seicento age wise, but saying that, they came form different factories too.

 

[Cento186]

My sei is similar, I've tried t-cut and meguir's something or other, neither of which had any effect, shame really

 

[blu73]

to be honest if i had a red one that was still really nice and red i would probably be thinking about getting it wrapped to protect it about now.. Shame i didn't do it before as when i got the car it was very red still (still would be if i still had a garage )

The PAS rack is a little quicker.

 

[Cinq mad lad]

thought so, still has the same rediculous turning circle as my cinq but only about 3 turns lock to lock rather than 4

 

[Cinq mad lad]

private plate and crappy red paint

 

[Cinq mad lad]

also, i am thinking of buying a sportex exhaust next payday, but after searching everywhere i cant seem to find a good video/opinion on what it would sound like. all i want is it to be beefier and not like a farting saxo boyracer lol
any experience with these systems?
thanks

My friend had a twin centre dtm on his cinquecento it sounded okay through the revs,but from what I've heard they're poor quality and don't last. Buy a janspeed or supersprint more expensive but from what I've seen of them look they look better quality!

 

[Cinq mad lad]

it all depends how good next payday is might even just take it to powerflow and see how much for a cat back system

 

[blu73]

i got one on my turbo sei... here is a quick vid of it ticking over..

Its actually quite quiet except when your stood behind car but the turbo makes the exhaust a bit quieter. Great quality though, i'd recommend it for the money - try making an offer through the ebay shop, i managed to knock £20 or so off the asking price when i ordered mine.
