Sounds like a bargain Luigi, but what's a front splash guard?
I just bought a Bipper/Nemo brand new steel wheel for £25 as a spare. Another eBay bargain.

Happen Luigi will reply.............but I think its a under engine guard, (sump type). If I'm wrong, and according to the wife I'm wrong most of the time, no doubt Luigi will tell me.
Good old Ebay.......great place to shop.
Cheers Qube O.

Well I gone and done and got it wrong then.....................nought new there.
Is it just that silver piece, and does it go under the engine, or just sit out front ??

FYI....
The Adventure spec, available with either 75hp or 95hp versions of the 1.3 diesel engine, signifies the addition of Traction+, an electronic differential lock system that improves grip in conditions such as mud and snow without increasing fuel or maintenance costs, according to Fiat. It’s not as competent off-road as a proper 4x4 system, but there’s nothing on the market smaller or cheaper than a VW Caddy that offers all-wheel drive, and the Traction+ is plenty able enough to negotiate muddy fields and lanes. Fiat also claims there is no impact on fuel or maintenance costs, which isn’t the case with full 4x4 systems.
The Adventure comes with higher ground clearance, and adds butch cladding (LOL)!) and extra protection to the underneath and sides, while the payload is also 50kg higher than a standard Fiorino Cargo at 660kg. The extra kit, payload and capability does, though, come at a price, with the Adventure costing £650 more than the equivalent Fiorino Cargo SX trim.

So its a proper 4x4?

I see, thanks for that info
I nearly bought one a couple of years back in red, but all that plastic down the sides but me off.
It did'nt have electric windows, blue tooth, and i'm sure it never had electric windows or air con, which is why i went for ''luigi''

Yes the splash guard does look good, I can see why you like it. T'wouldn't fit Qubo Dynamic though as it's a different bumper/grill.
I like that butch cladding on the Adventure, I suppose we could fit it on the Qubo but Fiat would probably charge £500 a side as an aftermarket add-on!
I'll keep an eye out on eBay!!
Auto diff lock is great in snow or mud as you say, it just stops one driving wheel from spinning and allows both to turn with equal torque.
Oh, I have "Traction+" on my Qubo - they're called "Snowsox" and I keep them under my seat

If you go onto Ebay and search the bipper loads of bits come up as this is the more popular van.........?
The guard was in the bipper section

I thought the nice weather we've just had was our recompense for the past 3-4 foul winters...
I'm never ready for snow - it comes too soon, lasts too long and is a great waste of time and effort. My traction control is a trusty RAV4

I think that looks a lot better, it breaks up the black of the bumper.

smart..........
I like that! Looks good!
I'm really unsure what to do with the front end of mine. Wanted to change to the qubo bumper, but now am thinking of getting another standard bumper but with fog lights and colour coding it and putting one of those splash guards on.
