[neonglove]

HI ALL.
GOT MYSELF SOME ABARTHS ON EBAY BUT UNFORTUNATELEY THE GUY DIDDNT SAY WHAT THEY WERE OFF AND THEY WERE A BARGAIN SO I JUST TOOK EM.
MY QUESTION IS... HAS ANYONE HAD ANY LUCK PUTTING A 3 DOOR ABARTH REAR BUMPER ON A 5 DOOR PUNTO? IF SO PLEASE TELL ME HOW. I WAS THINKING OF CUTTING THE TOP BRACKET OFF AND SEEING IF IT SLIDES FOWARD SO THE ARCHES MEET THEN DRILLING SOME NEW HOLES TO MATCH.
SUGGESTIONS ON HOW THEY CAN BE MOULDED IN?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP. THANKS AGAIN. :bang:

sell them for a profit and buy 3 door ones!

5 door abarth kits are less common then 3 door!!!!11!!!

the front fits, the skirts fit but botton mounts wont line up so need loads of tiger seal. rear bumper no chance, the 5 door rear abarth bumper is the most sort after bit so you wont have trouble shifting it. loads of people wanted mine but i wouldn't split the kit

 

[neonglove]

soz think i worded it wrong, i need a 5 door rear. there must be a way? cut it about bolt some bits on and what not? sureley? im desperate because there is nowhere i can get a 5 dr bumper apart from fiat which costs way too much?

 

[jip0]

now im confused so your after a rear abarth bumper for a 5 door?

if yes then buy one simple as that

your never gonna get the 3 door to fit unless you spend a hell of a lot of money on plastic welding and re spraying so will be cheaper to just buy a 5 door one

 

[dave]

am sure some one was selling a 5 door one in teseo blue on here for 100 a few weeks back

[neonglove]

has any1 got a link?
thanks.

 

[jip0]

there probably not for sale anymore then

 

[neonglove]

He who dares wins!

 

[JustAndy]

So you got the 3 door one to fit then? Im sure people would like to know how and what does your insurance think of the kit?

 

[dave]

i want to see the sides

 

[JustAndy]

Yeah it doesnt look like the boot is smooth with the bumper either. can you get pictures of all angles?

 

[neonglove]

Dave, i know what your getting at but i didnt do a bad job of that bit. heres a side view.



I will put up on FF l8er a tutorial for anyone who would like it.

 

[dave]

it dont fit though

 

[neonglove]

doesnt it?

 

[dave]

too short here


and too far in there



door handles need colour coding an b pillars need black vinyl

 

[jip0]

the bumper is about an inch from matching up with the wheel arch in the photo

imo it just doesn't look right from the back either

kudos for nearly getting it though

how much work did it take out of interest?

 

[neonglove]

picky?
well im pleased with it, its because your looking for things, anyways you said it couldnt be done. it took me about an hour and a bit to do, i can make it better if i want but i ran out of time, maybe another day.

 

[dave]

its not done
