Cinquecento my new cinqi

[mase]

thing is they are covered by wide arches arent they?

wheels only fail the MOT for bein too wide if they are judged to be a danger to the public by being unprotected on the sides of the car....

but yea, the red one looks sick, i actually found a web site that sells steffan cups in 7x14 and a 32 offset and 4x100 PCD for about £100 each wheel, resprayed with the middle in black and the sliver rim would look sick on my car if i do say so myself!

maybe next year, depends on the money situation!

will look awesome tho mate!

Thing is, you can be stopped by the police if they're obviously wider than the arches - and they look like they will be.

175/50-13 may be a stretch on 7" wide rims, too.

 

[mase]

thing is, wat about sport pack mini's? the wheels on those stick out from the arches, and i would say only about the same ammount as that on the red on in that pic!

bush... if they do stick out a bit, might be worth lookin at abarth or hormann arches to make it a little wider then, might make it seem that the wheels dont stick out that far!

 

[Bushboy]

horman arches are rediculously expencive.. was thinking of getting some abarth arches and then poss some sports pack arches to mould onto them. will see when the tyres come.

175/50 tyres are fine on 7" wide wheels.. its what everyone has

cool... go for it man, i well fancy 7x14's with 185/50 tyres!!!

i was of course talkin about the narrow kit, not the wide 1, the wide one comes with the ugly bumpers an it about £800 without side skirts.

u can get the narrow skirt and arch kit, a lot like the abarth but a bit bigger, for under £300!!!

i think that is a must, will look awesome in imola blue if i do say so myself!

 

[The younger modder]

They are defo the best wheels youve brought so far bushboy, i always wanted them for my cinq as i nearly had some on my mini and loved em but i couldnt find the propper 7" wide wheels anywhere near fiat fitment for a good price and i hate wobbly bolts so are these on with no special bolts or spaccers same as on a mini?

Also on sportspack mini's the original sportspack wheels stick under the arch by about an inch

 

[Bushboy]

might aswel get the abarth arches as i have the skirts already.. ive just put some corner splitters on the front heh.. looks loads better with the skirts now

abarth arches would finish the body work off awesomely....

dont suppose u want a smooth boot? got 1 in the office that wants shifting!

got a pic of the corner splitters? i well want some, which ones did u get?

 

[Bushboy]

i just got the halfrauds ones.. come out the front alot but i like em heh. ill get a pic later when i go for a drive

my fan doesnt work so i need a new one and ill replace the rad switch too.. think alex has one i can have cheapo

what colour is the boot? and how smooth is it? wiper gone too?

 

[mase]

the boot is black, but looks like it was red underneath so dunno...

it is totally smooth, no wiper, no lock, not even a washer! with a light tinted window as well. done with fiberglass and filler!

got pics at home....

 

[Bushboy]

hmm interesting.. what would u want for it?

 

[mase]

well to be honest i have had a couple of people interested offering around £50, but nothin has com of them and i have decided to keep my boot standard as i use both the lock and the wiper.....

those rear door cards do sound good tho

I can imagine my car looking like that red one that was posted further back!

Don't worry about MOT, jus whack the standards back on! should take you about 10 mins if that

Jus need a highboost turbo now and smoothed everything!

 

[Bushboy]

[mase]

in other news...... Euro fever hits the UK.....

always loved euro cinq's just depends on how much money i can justify spending on her chooses what style into which she gets modded!!!

 

[Bushboy]
