General My Seicento sporting Abarth...????

[ladyJo]

hey guys.... i bought my lil bumble bee (yellow sei, sporting abarth...?) about 4 months ago, the guy told me it was the abarth but not sure, it had these stickers on wich ive never seen b4...



anyway i have since removed these... and bought these beauties

all cleaned up now tho, looked strange with stickers, just waiting to fit the skirts properly now...

outside wise thats all ive done, i will de-badge and maybe the wiper too...
I.C.E wise ive got the following, 12" JBL sub, MB Quarts amp, Pioneer 6x9's (came with car) ripspeed dvd head unit ( again tempery untill pennys r saved up for kenwood, and the possition is not ideal but gettin a box made up for the bottom of the cenre console)

I have been doing a little research on induction kits, i wanted a GSR but none for sale, and too many people having too much trouble involed getting in contact with "the right people" and in my view the K&N is not for me, just looks a bit strange
so anyway for a phew pennys my boyfriend made this.....

pls ignore the plate thing, its a temp fix untill my grandad makes me a nice neat n tidy stabalising plate..... lol.....

last but not least is it an abarth...??? just wondering
sorry for the long winded post but hey you know the sie inside out now lol

The abarth has the abarth scorpians (lobsters ) in the head rests. think the sie also has alloy paddles (atho that might be just the Schumacher)

does it not say in the V5?

 

[ladyJo]

no id doesny say abarth.... so it must have been made to look like 1.... oh well other than that what dya think....????

You've got the Abarth wheels and now the side skirts. I'd loose the sticker, but thats my choice.

You need to sort the crank breather as well as the filter support, and tidy up the wiring.

Seems to be a lot of weight to cart around, all that stereo stuff, but thats your choice not mine.

Cheers

looks good to me i like the yellow centre console bit and the induction kit is impressive for DIY looks like a proper bought one from me it gets

the factory abarth was just trim ad ons it doesn't say anything on the log book side skirts, alloys (there were 2 options on these) and head rest embroidery was the main things

Nice looking car, but had it had a bad paint job in its life? it looks like theres some peeling paint around the rib strip in the 1st pic.

The proper abarths should have the abarth headrests like this:


and abarth written on the front grill.

BTW, I've got a spare pair of abarth rear headrests kicking around, PM me if you's be after them.

Hiya... Thanx for replies.. Regards to stickers... They r long gone, paint wise the pic was taken ages ago now I've cleaned it it's not as bad as it looks... Don't think it's been sprayed it's all matched no funny panel shades lol... Sub wise it's a stop gap until I can afford the JBL 8" subs they are really good, light and sleek... The amp will be hidden too... There was a hint of lettering on the front grill so I think the last owner tried making it look like one... Bit I cleaned it all up.. I havnt fitted the skirts yet.. Any ideas on the best way of fittin them IE what to use.. In regards the the breether what do u recommend ..?

firstly tigerseal thatll stick it on permantly. and for the breather just go on the bay type in oil breather stick one on they dont cost much http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Breather-...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51925b94d4 something like this

 

[ladyJo]

hi guys forgot to say its not flaking it was dirt more than anything.... and i meant JL not JBL.... also i damaged my drivers door any1 got 1 for sale... idealy yellow.... also i do have a breather pipe on the black pipe.... i used the wrong pic heres what the finished product looked like....

 

[dronenrs]

oh that breathers fine then

 

[darrenforward]

Im generally wrong so please correct me,
But I thought the breathers had to vent into the carb for emissions, I think it wont pass an MOT like that. Will It ?

 

[clock34]

does have to vent into the throttle body yes. will pass a mot but thats becuase they never check tbh. will say on the box of that oil breather (for show use only)

 

[rallycinq]

The correct answer is
