Something its not?

Why make out your car is something it ain't?

BTW, the FULL abarth kit appears to be nothing more than a set of skirts, a shame because it is a nice car without the need to be a wannabe abarth.

Blatant Abarth wannabe there i think.. right down to the badges being in the right places..
what more can i saw.. lol

Item is described as Abarth look though.

Seems fairly described to me..

Isnt it an Arbarth.. must be posh

Yeah i spotted this on ebay, and mutter Fraud to myself when i read it was a 1.6.


Maybe we should turn to Twinncams for reasoning behind buying a 1.6 and then faking it to Abarth spec! Which as correctly pointed out by James M is nothing more than side skirts, standard yellow paint, and 16' alloys?

The car was factory fitted with an Abarth kit. The name Abarth doesn't mean anything these days, it's just a trim level. Sad but true...

The car was factory fitted with an Abarth kit....

It wasn't though!

It neither wears the after market abarth kit, nor has it bump strips colour coded like a proper Abarth, it merely has some side skirt, looks no more like an Abarth then any other Stilo really, and the colour is BROOM not Abarth yellow.

My point is, the owner is falsly playing on the Abarth badge to sell his car, its a bit like a petrol owner making it out it almost looks like a JTD

 

[Steven]

Right, I just looked properly at the pictures. It clearly doesn't have an Abarth kit fitted!

 

[Neofolis]

Well it does look slightly more like an Abarth than it would without the skirts, but if you are gonna do a job you might as well finish it. Not colour coding the rubstrips is just silly, if you are going for an Abarth look, likewise with the alloys, you'd think that would be the first thing to do.

People aren't daft, most research the car they intend to buy. He won't fool anyone...
