General New Bravo 120

[bradgibbs]

Thought I'd make a thread as I'm new around here, posted a few times in the past with family members Bravo's, but never owned one! However, recently bought this:



It's a 1.9 Multijet 120 (needed a bit of a clean in that picture! Doh!)

Haven't made any real customisations yet, so open to all ideas! Have put some red LEDs in the driver & passenger footwells, as the interior is red/black.

Booked in to get it remapped on saturday, just needs a little bit more power just to put the cherry on the top!

Also looking to replace the steering wheel with an Abarth 500 one (They look cracking!) However someone mentioned that the airbag connectors changed at the end of 2008, just wondering if anyone knows if a 500 airbag will have the correct connectors for mine without opening it?

Looking forward to posting on here!

PFFT better not be a Wolves fan, (I'm from west Brom by the way)

Lovely car though can't tell whether that picture has a filter on it but I think it may be the same colour as mine.

No filter! I think it's a kind of gun metal grey.
And nope, not a Wolves fan!

Love the colour.

So far just some red LEDs in the footwells, really like it at night! Blends with the interior quite well!

My todo list stands at the minute:

• Abarth 500 Steering wheel
• Head unit (one of the double din touch screen ones)
• Maybe slightly tint the rear windows, was unsure but just noticed your picture the rear windows look slightly tinted? Looks good)

oh, and it's booked in for it's remap on saturday! :slayer:

Looks damn nice!

Just my personal preference i think I'd be tempted with some darker alloys with that colour and windows!

Canterbury as in Kent?

Oh if you're interested the colour of our car is called "techno grey".
Get some tints and wind deflectors. They look the balls on our colour, my tints are factory fitted but it's not expensive for them to get done. Don't have them on in this picture for some reason I'll get one tomorrow to show you. But you can see how good tints look on this colour.
