Styling Stilo Styling Query

[Oakley28]

Hey guys,

Was thinkning its time to start doing some things to my car. The first thing im doing is getting the 18" Schumi Wheels. Then i was thinking about the twin Ragazzon Exhaust but thought that it might look a bit daft with no kit at all. So could anyone reccomend a Subtle body kit that would suit this exhaust system?

Its a Stilo JTD.

Thanks

Anyone? Can't find any decent ones, their all Over The Top ugly ones.

well since your going schumi everything, then it makes sense to go for the shumi kit too

 

[Oakley28]

any idea where i can pick one up?

 

[OzMoSiS]

from your favorite fiat dealer

decided im gonna go for the Merkur kit, as seen on "Activematts" old Stilo.

Just gotta found out where to get it from for a good price now.

Yeah that's a horrible kit. Unofficial is just that... Unofficial. Without question I'd get the schumi kit - at least it's genuine and will add some value to your car - unlike that ugly PoS that would most certainly a) reduce your market and b) lower your asking price.

Oh also, the Schumi kit you wouldn't have to declare on the insurance seeing as it is original. That thing would be of interest to them though.

Think sensible!

i think the Merkur kit has a nicer rear bumper than the Schumi kit. The exhaust would fit a lot better and would look a lot nicer because of the cut outs.

Having already gone down that road and regretted it because of the condition of the roads etc you might want to sit back and reconsider it and at least read some posts on here before you finally commit yourself to it..the stilo is fine with the bumpers its born with..and if you must then the shoowee one will at least clear the major obstacles on the roads and wont restrict your access to many places you might want to go..

 

[Oakley28]

yeah i guess, i just really like that Ragazzon quad exhaust, and i think it will look a bit silly as there is no cuts out on the original bumper or even the shoowee one...

 

[stilosporting]

you dont need to cut the exhaust into the standard bumper. if you look at activematts bumper and a standard one the exhaust would clear a standard one. i would go arbath bumper and skirts and stay subtle and standard.

 

[OzMoSiS]

or like me you can easily cut into the bumper

Front is nasty looking - bordering on chevesque :yuck:

The rear bumper looks untidy, far to much going on.

Far cleaner looking ......

But these are just my opinions. Some advice I will give tho is that if you do fit this
kit, DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT consider lowering it. Mines only lowered 35mm
and it puts a huge restriction on where you can drive the car.

I like your kit too, where you get that from?

I bought the car with the kit already fitted - the front, rear and spoiler are Cadamuro Designs - can be found HERE - the side skirts are OEM Abarth items and the exahust is custom fit by PowerFlow

 

[Oakley28]

seems everyone with aftermarket kits seem to have problems, i may as well just go for the Schumi kit. Im getting the schumi wheels after all. And then just go for a custom exhaust, theres a powerflow near(ish) me in Bolton.

 

[Oakley28]

Sorry, just need the Part numbers for the Schumi kit if anyone knows them?

Wouldnt use powerflow I did and they are crap and lost me power..make loads of profit from cheapo labour and pay peanuts to local people..

yeah, with it being a diesel too ... hmm, anyone recommend a good exhaust for a 3dr Stilo JTD? Otherwise it'll be the Ragazzon Twin/Quad. .

 

[Oakley28]

does anyone know the part numbers for the Schumacher Front & Rear bumpers, and the Side Skirts?

Cheers.
