R reg cinq's (not sure about late p reg? anyone know?) had the seicento style indicators and steering wheel

The last of the line Cinqs (some R and S reg ones) had them, my P and early R don't. It's probably that they ran out of cinq ones and started using Sei ones at the end of production.

My P reg cinq has one but I think it was cause the person who bought my car had an airbag as an option. It think they look 10x better with the different steering whell and indicators

As far as I can recall, all airbag-equipped Cinquecentos had that style wheel, and Mk1 Punto-style indicator (etc) levers behind them. Late-model non-airbag Cinqs had the same set-up, but without the airbag fitted, if you see what I mean.

I would think it would be difficult to upgrade from one to the other with the different switches and possibly the hub too - certainly in earlier years you could only get Momo adaptors for the original non-airbag Cinqs, don't know if that's still true?

Talking of which, I would think a better upgrade would be to a nice aftermarket wheel, as I did - a 35cm Momo 'Corse' in my case, though there are many others, including an Abarth one which FIAT offered at the time, which was also a Momo one.

have taken apart the columns of both my old (new style steering wheel and indicator stalks) and new cinq (old style) and from looking at it it looks like it'll be a pig to sort, hence me leaving it
