[Freelancer]

Just reading an exclusive over at Italiaspeed on how Fiat Uk are bring the Stilo Shumi to the UK but giving the 200 2.4ltr versions to Prodrive to add tweaks too...

Standard Stilo MS will be £15995 with the Prodrive vesions being £1000 extra.

Excellent! No point bring out a car just the same as the abarth so am glad prodrive are having a tweak with them.

However, is it just me or are very simply putting on 18" alloys and a new exhaust with a new set of susp.?

You just beat me to starting the thread first Freelancer!! I've just read this myself and it sounds very very tempting just the thing Fiat needs to raise its 'profile' no pun intended.

Now I'm thinking can I trade my Abarth in, how much money will I loose?!!

Why bother Jasper ?
It would cost you a lot less to upgrade your car to the specs that suite you. In fact, with the amount you would loose on a trade in you could easily get your car up to 230BHP(way past what prodrive will do) and get a bodykit, suspension lowered and a new exhaust. + yours is a better colour.

woo prodrive 15 mins away from me... will go have a peek at the mass of stilo's probably (assuming there is such a mass lol)

Is that 15 mins by bike, 15 mins by Stilo Abarth OR 15 mins by Megane 225?!

stu?!

My driving instructor's company was called ProDrive but once he started to make it larger he renamed to prodriver to avoid possible issues.

So I learnt in a ProDrive Toyoto Corolla T-spirit.

stu?!

What, 15 mins could be a couple mile down the road if you walk slow, or a good 20 miles away

15 mins in my 1242 cinq (prob closer to 10) is in banbury on one of the industrial estates near the m40 junction

True KoArAnG....I'm looking forward to March when I should be able to do my first mods...new exhaust and re-map, then I'll look at lowering. Although for 230BHP you'd probably have to go down the super/turbo charger route? Out of my price range I'm afraid.
