Hello guys, just thought I would say hello

I have been on the forum for a few years with my GP MJET, but I got rid of that and got an audi, (don't ask me why!) well now that is going the journey and I have a 500s Twinair 85bhp in Electroclash grey on order now. Should be with me around xmas time. Is there anything I should look out for with this model?


I know I will be putting heko wind deflectors on it as soon as possible but might keep this one standard. I must say I have missed the italians! It's good to be back, kind of.

Well the time is getting closer for my little fiat to arrive. I've been giving a date for it arriving in the uk. 23rd of December so no idea when I'm going to actually get it. I've already thought about mods for it but just starting small. All new lights for it. Osram night breaker plus in main lights. De tango front and rear and mtec drl. All approved filament bulbs so no errors on the dash. Going to get heko wind deflectors too. Cannot wait to get it now

Some good mods there the Heko or Fiat own deflectors are both good ,the bulbs are a must as the standard ones are just not enough,as for delivery it could be new year? keep pestering the dealer

I had the heko and osrams on my grande punto and loved them. I know how shocking fiat lights are. Well I spoke to them today and they are only closed a day and half over Xmas so if it gets in the uk and delivered to them straight away I could have it between Xmas and NY

Nice to see people staying loyal to fiat. Hopefully I get it when I'm off over Xmas to play with it. There will be a lot of pictures up

Enjoy your car whenever you get it! Nice Christmas present! Same spec as my own, be prepared to give the TA a few thousand miles at least to loosen up, they're very tight and grumbly when new.

Hopefully it will be around Xmas I get it. Thanks I've never had a new car so it will be a new experience. What year is yours?
