Styling my new cinque!

[tango]

well after the sad demise of my last one in november, its been replaced by this almost identical 98 version.

passed NCT yesterday
gt alloys
gmax springs
ms design rear extension
sparco buckets
omp wheel
debadged and delocked boot

what ya think!
more to come, it was a messy non runner a few weeks ago

Very nice! We really must organise a meeting of Irish Cinq owners this summer. The GT wheels look well - did you have fun with spacers and nuts getting them to fit (I did!). Have you any plans for the engine or is it staying standard (well you do have two years NCT...)

Keep it shiny-side up!

Wow those are nice wheels, where you get em from?? That boot is after my own heart :slayer: just have to get a spoiler and imo a abarth rear and there is no faulting it!! as im not a fan of the ms design stuff, but everyone to there own!

looks ace John, keep it up!!

ps are the spacers and bolts ok?? should be as were on my cinq, just checking..

whatever you think yourself! i like em and they suit the car imo,
not really any other wheels that i would have on it. what have you on yours bushboy?

turbocinqy, spacers worked fine, bit of "persuasion" with a ball pein hammer and a vice grips stopped all the rubbing
boot was a diy attempt as was the spraying of the bumpers and boot, would like the abarth sideskirts and front extension, but i'm happy for now

all i want now is an anti roll bar! :chin:

[tango]

Yeh, but it ain't a punto gt either is it .

Not my cup of tea either tbh but who cares what everyone else thinks so long as you like it.

Only sexually confused folks like them, specially those g(r)ay ones, lol

Though I do hope that everyone has fitted 15mm spacers to make them the correct off-set now :bang:

I like the rear bumper as well, suits the car.

Is it just me or are the tyres the wrong profile for the Cinq application?

Should be same as the 14" Abarth wheels as same width, so ideally 175/50 14 tho expensive, so 185/50 cheaper and easier to get fit nicely and gice a little more tyre contact.

 

[Catseyes]

Looks nice.

I wouldnt change it at all.

 

[tango]

wasn't expecting such a mixed reaction to the wheels!
spacers on and no rubbing anywhere, the tires are 185/55, thats what came on them and im not going to take off practically new tires!
if you like it, cool, if you dont thats fine, everyone is entitled to there opinion (mine is right though )
