Hey guys! So I was wondering what kinda mods would look good on my red 100hp that I could get on a minimum wage income? :p

The reason I can't really think of any is that for some reason I don't think many mods really work well with the red Panda, I can think of a million I could do to a white one but not red :p

I'm gonna flyeye the lights all round and was gonna pick up some Plasti-Dip for the alloys but not sure what colour yet (might go black face with red sides or black with red rim protector)

I'm honestly not too keen on the black trim on the outside edges and was wondering what could be done with that?

The last fellow who owned my car worked at a Fiat branch in Perth and fitted the Abarth 500 backbox. I'm wanting to continue with some modifications. So far my only contribution has been to block off the intake pipe resonator :p Was gonna maybe get a wee induction kit on there for some induction noise!

Cheers a lot, Huzi.

P.S. The Abarth backbox to the left of the rear shot was for my mate, I also work at a Fiat branch but as an apprentice :p

Great looking car, but my only caveat would be the extra insurance premium on declared modifications - you state that you are on minimum wage, so have you factored this into account? :)

Haha! Yup. I can kinda deal with the insurance costs by making some sacrifices like not buying other random stuff I don't need :p
 
Mine as always struck me as a car that looks just right as it is Yours looks the same - and the wheels to me look perfect as they are. The silver colour better shows their sculpture.


If your brake calipers aren't red, sort that as priority. Otherwise, save your money for any potential bills!
 
have you thought about wind deflectors? silvertec indicator bulbs to get rid of the orange tint in the indicators? tinting the fogs yellow? led bulbs? something like osram headlight bulbs? euro rear light? all cheap enough and shouldn't make any difference to your insurance

See that the issue I'm having. I want it to really stand out but I dunno what to do. Ted calipers will definitely be in my list though!

Aye I was gonna go for those too. Not quite sure about yellow fogs, personally I think they look better on the blue version.

By Euro rear light do you mean the clear lens fog lamp?

I think a priority is to get the 2010 bigger mirrors coz while they don't look as clean, it's an absolute nightmare trying to change lanes :LOL:

so glad mine is the 2010 model. cant wait to pick it up. mine have the bigger mirrors then?

yeah the euro fog light so the back looks symmetrical. ive already ordered wind deflectors, mats and caliper paint for mine oops

Yup. Up till 2009 they had ridiculously tiny mirrors. 2010 models came with much bigger ones, the same side as the new Panda's ones. From what I can tell they're interchangeable.

Ah thought so. There's one to add to the list :LOL:

*Cough get bigger mirrors like me cough*
 
Have a look in the show me yours section, a guy called Jai has a modded red one, black trim painted red, white alloys. Looks good if you are into that kind of thing. I have a standard red pandamonium, but could consider getting new wheels in white (different design). Otherwise for cheap mods the interior with pedal covers, gearshifts airvents etc...
