Cheers! It's proper nice. The hand brake is a button!
Nice car for sure. Nothing beats a GP thought IMHO.
A woman i work with just got a hire car to take on holiday. She collected it and came to work in the first day, she parked up and left it. A very short while later a P.A announcment was made for a certain car reg to contact customer services (assuming it was customers car). Turns out it was her hire car had rolled into a customers car...
...
..
It was a push button handbrake! :bang: £1000 pount insurance excess on the hire car and she'd only had it a few hours, gutted.
So yeah, nice car...but i don't like push button handbrakes
Get some more pics up of yours too

Thank you very much! I agree
Ouch! that sucks! I said to my dad earlier 'I wouldn't trust an electric handbrake' and after hearing that story I certainly don't haha but it's new so has warranty etc for a few years don't think I'll tell Dad that story though
Will do, wanna get some nice landscape scene photos of the car

Yeah it will but they sit really low and will leave a big gap between your bumper and the exhaust. The abarth gp has a rear diffuser so it sits flush.

It was on my 1.4 8v. And yeah it did sit a bit low, tho I had every intention of fitting a Mk1 golf rear spoiler (shortened) to the underside of the bumper, may have some pictures on my old phone somewhere.......

You can fit it closer in, about an inch and half, slide it back on the hangers and then clamp.
That's just how I had it....

Oh I see, I didn't realise you could do that

Didn't have any decent glue to use so used double sided tape. Worked okay on the main bits but the corners didn't hold down enough, so there are a few bad bits. Going to get hold of some decent glue and put the corners down properly.
Only had time to do this small bit so when the weather isn't pissing it down I will do the main bit liking it so far though. What do you guys think?

Did you take it off to wrap it? Or did you just wrap it while it was attached?

I took it off but the bottom right corner wouldn't stay down properly as you can see
as you can see
Yeah you need to get some glue to sort out the edges but other than that looks good mate

What glue should I use? Would superglue work or would it dry it out? Cheers
