General What do youguys think of the scorpion?

[alainmengoli]

I am getting my abarth in a few weeks and I am not too sure about the red scorpion logo on the bonnet. I was wondering what everyone else's view was on it.

 

[RobW]

it is a rip off at 75quid

available for MUCH less elsewhere

 

[alainmengoli]

I know but I am getting one of the first cars and it comes with it.

 

[RobW]

cool leave it on then

I had a scorpion on my Cinq, Seicento, panda, new panda and even one of my 126s... its so cool you gotta keep it

I went to the Abarth launch at Research Garage at the weekend, I have to say that I was not too enamoured with the Scorpian and certainly dont think it is worth the money as an optional extra, but if it's on there then leave it I reckon.
I think the side stripes are a much more worthwhile extra.

If and when I could afford an Abarth 500, I'd have it without the scorpion or the side stripes, if that's possible.

I ordered mine in grey without scorpions or stripes, but with chrome mirrors.

I think it will look subtle this way and decals can always be added as after-market options.

If you are unsure about the scorpion, the dealer I spoke to regarding the opening edition was willing to remove them for me. If that helps.

the scorpion is one of the only things I like about the Abarth {{off to hide in the corner on my own}}

I've not seen it yet so I reserve judgement.

IMO the Abarth is supposed to be 'in your face' and not too subtle, thats more for the standard 500.

I second that.
Personally I'd keep it, it's not the kind of thing your gonna see on alot of cars about. The scorpion is the symbol of Abarth.

 

[alainmengoli]

ok keeping it

 

[PlopHole]

Good choice. Enjoy it
