General Seicento Tidy Up

[IanHuntly]

I have a one owner SeiCento Sporting that I got from the proverbial little old lady, that I am tidying up to look better.

The mechanicals of course are standard Uno Fire parts so the lack of decent maintenance there has been sorted, now looking a few of the plastic trim pieces eg the filler piece under the headlamps, the bonnet release lever.. That will make the car look complete again and not look like it was used in a demolition derby.

Any sources in the UK or Netherlands that specialises in this model? Unfortunately shipping from many of the EU countries is very expensive to Johannesburg, S. Africa

Hi & welcome to the forum, I'd rule the UK out though as the very few of us in the UK that still own & run Cento's are starting to feel the strain in sourcing parts as there really isn't that many left even in scrap yards & as a result we have to look to Europe for some parts, the recent parts haul for my Seicento included anti roll bar brackets which I think came from Poland & I'm waiting on a driveshaft coming from Germany, there are a few suppliers in the Netherlands but I've never used them personally so I'm not sure what they are like to deal with, the only other place likely to have a good parts supply is Poland as that's where they were built & in production until 2010.

Good evening @IanHuntly ,

I live in the Netherlands, I could go have a look around for you on some junkyards nearby.

If you need anything, I could do that for you too, @FiatMatt94 .

Kind regards,

Many thanks @Fiatfarmer, if I ever need anything that's impossible to get hold off here in the UK I'll bear this in mind.
