Off Topic New Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-Jet 150

[swift]

I never see any other Bravo's around. I like the uniqueness of the Bravo but I would like to see many one other on a regular basis to talk about them aha!

Although, saying that... When I had just put the deposit down on my Bravo, a neighbor a few doors down had a Fiat Bravo parked out side his house, turned out he has just bought one! Annoyed me because I loved them being so rare But he is an 80 year old that has it in his garage 90% of the time so it's alright

Punto badges won't fit Bravo it's a bigger badge. Here's an official badge from shop 4 parts, the cheapest I could find http://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=store&op=Details&ProdID=3836&sku=49708

O that is tempting! Easy to change?

 

[Matthewr1990]

I did it with mine the day I bought it. Pull grill out, it's just clipped in. Then one bolt behind the grill and badge comes off. Replace new badge, tighten bolt. Pop grill back in

I assume it's a case of popping it off and then the new one pops in work old badge of slowly and work around it not just jam a screwdriver up under one side and yank for the best lol

 

[Matthewr1990]

This is what mine looked like before and after




Like I said. Pull grill out, one bolt, swap badge, tighten bolt, pop back in, I took the chance to give the grill a thorough clean too

Brilliant! Thanks mate - Working a few extra shifts this week at the pub so I'll buy that when I get paid I have absolutely no money after buying this Bravo So worth it though! After this week I should be making some decent money back and I would of paid of the money I borrowed of the parents aha!

What causes them to go white? Just wondering how long that new badge will last before wearing again :/

It happened with my Grande Punto too. The fiat badge is made in two parts, there's a back plate and the chrome surround is one piece, then they print the fiat bit onto the badge and then put a piece of see through plastic on top and seal it. The plastic isn't sealed very well and water gets behind it again. When I did it with my Grande Punto I removed front badge completely in favour of a badgeless grill. But I swapped the back one and it lasted 2 years before I sold it. I've had this new badge in 8 months and it's fine. I even used plasti dip and blacked the chrome out to make it match my car, here's the photos of my grande Punto badges. Before and after. And the badgeless grill.

I'm very pleased to see you swapped from the punto to the Bravo What was your reason behind that? I found it very difficult to choose between the two!

Also would Mann oil/air filters of Eurocarparts be better than the one they sell on shop4parts?
