i will take some pics on the wknd.

Finally got round to taking some pics of the 6000K lights. DRL's are PIAA. Numberplate lights have a sticker overlay because i couldn't find the right bulb that wouldn't say error.works.

Exhaust probably this week...

That looks like it would be horrendous to drive towards in the dark.

an i ask what bulbs you have used for the non-DRL's - the H1 and H7's?
Ive ordered the PIAA DRL bulbs but need something that goes well with them - have you just changed the bulbs or fitted HID's?

Yup. The only thing that's worse than factory fit HID's is aftermarket ones which are made for lights with projector lenses, but are fitted to cars without them.....

 

[badWoG JuELz 500]

yer exactly.

 

[306maxi]

yer exactly.

You do realise that your 500 doesn't have projector lenses right?

 

[badWoG JuELz 500]

i've just changed the bulbs. H1and H7 are 6000k narva ultra blues.
there not even bright for on comers because they have less than half the lumens of a standard bulb.

Great to see another Aussie on here Your 500 looks great! What exhaust you getting?

 

[badWoG JuELz 500]

hey yer sure is. umm im really not sure. im tossing up between just changing the rear muffler or cat-back.either way it will most likely be a custom made one. i also just fitted. also just fitted iridium ix plugs.

Did the spark plugs make an difference ?

 

[badWoG JuELz 500]

I can't tell really but if you would dyno it with the filter id say probably like 1hp if you want to be specific.They just last really long and provide a better spark.

I'd get a Record Monza exhaust, they sound amazing on the Abarth 500 and should be compatible with a standard 1.4? Although they're Abarth/Magneti Marelli developed, it would be hard finding one in Aus
