General Next years STILO

[Ged20D]

Hey hows things, i don't usually wonder to these necks of the woods but after a long run of people thinking i am stupid buying a expensive bodykit for my cinq, i have come up with a better plan of using the money and buying a STILO EEYYYY sounds like a good idea, it will only be a 1.2 but its the looks that i am after. I have already chose the body kit and alloys (well kinda) but its definatley a green light from me. How do all you people find them, running cost etc?

Well mines a 1.6 and i dont find running costs at all bad, and generally love my car............what bodykit you looking at better not be the one ive just bought!

 

[Ged20D]

No idea what body kit my friend only got the idea last night then i seen this picture then fell in love but it wont be till late this year early next so you dont have much to worry about

hmm thats quite a nice looking one, and not the one ive bought so i shall permit you to have that

I got a 2.4 - if you worry about running costs, it is a good idea getting a 1.2

Yeah and the bodykit should add at least 50bhp

Mine's a 2002 1.2, and I couldn't bring myself to fault it, particularly on cost... Now, car prices here bare no comparison to your neck of the woods, but it was still a steal to buy! Even at a FIAT dealership, it 36K service was reasonable, considering I got a new ignition coil, new rear wiper blade, new locking wheel nuts, and a new wheel brace (plus a few other sundries). The fuel economy is staggering (check some of the other threads on here) - case in point: I had to pull a 200 mile round trip yesterday with four passengers (picture the scene - this is a three-door we're talking about )!!! MPG reading before leaving - 41.3... MPG reading on return - 43.0 - I was shocked!!! This is no word of a lie...

So, in summation, I can honestly say - I'm utterly besotted...!!!

ive got those wheels

 

[Ged20D]

Went to go see one at a show room today, AUGH its amazing. Bit to expensive but it was a 2.4 sch. Cant stop thinking about the damn thing now just want to get rid of mine and buy one asap. I use to think the cinq was the best car in the world but WOW
It wouldn't be classed as cheating if i had a test drive would it

ive got those wheels

Nowt wrong with the 1.2, don't let the 1.6 owners put you off!

Looks just as good as any other model in the range, especially if your going for a 3 door, performance will be fine if your used to a Cinq, anyhoo 6 gears to play with keeps you entertained. And Economy will be equal if not better than the cinq!

I average 42mpg most of the time, but on a long run your kicking on the ar$e of 50mpg!

Nah i wont be put off, its the looks i am going for until my insurance drops like 90%

After ages trying to find that kit place i came found the site that does it

WHY I was quite happy with my lovely Stilo till I saw this :bang: :bang: :bang:

The GT has always been a favourite, but I'd want the selespeed version and it only has a 2.0 163bhp engine and I don't wanna take a hit in performance.

Nige, if your there mate, how much can you get out of one of these babies

 

[1.8Stilo]

Wow! Tht is nice Koa! looked on there website for an alfa remeo GT, it only lists a 1.9 16v with 35bhp gain and a 3.2 GT with 15bhp gain
