Well months after buying it here she finally is. Looks pretty good in the photos, doesn't look as good in real life.

Dunc Uno Turbo said:looks very smart mate! missing the bonnet raised vent thing tho and a turbo i.e badge on front grill instead of the fiat one hehe
Jai said:its almost a shame to change such a nice example but:
turbo bumpers and lowered suspension would give it a nice look

A genuine Fiat Uno turbo bonnet vent would look great on that. I have one but its not for sale as I want to fit the one I have to my Uno If you keep an eye on Ebay they turn up every now and then and don't normally go for much.
Turbo front bumper with foggies would look good too, though an SX is a bit more understated and still comes with fogs. I have an SX bumper with fogs (thanks to Jai and the 1p Uno we bought ) but again its not for sale as it's going on my car. Sorry
Otherwise your car looks fantastic! I wouldn't worry too much about the paint not being quite right. Your Uno looks far better than many cars of the same age and has that genuine aged 'patina', which shows it to be a genuine and used car rather than a pristinely restored museum piece.
The wheels look good and suit it too. What are they from? Any more plans for the car?

Passed with flying colours, the garage seemed pretty impressed with the car, looks like my effort has paid off. I'm not in a dilema about what to do, keep the Turbo or the Mk1. Really tough call. I've spent a lot of time and effort on the Mk1 and I prefer the looks. The turbo is obviously a turbo and more desirable. What am I to do?
