Styling What to do to my mk1

[lizardlace]

This is my first car, and i need some help on what to do to it. What ideas do you have?

 

[Tris Harris]

Abarth bumpers and skirts?

tint rear windows slightly and rear lights...

and side indicators.

Get it lowered, and some nice alloys- or you could just anthracite coat your current ones.

With it being a nice dark blue though, maybe a nice set of white alloys?

It's all up to you really, how much are you looking to spend?

hi, i've a recent thread in members motors of my stilo and mk1 sporting - look it up, the finished article may give you ideas.

as above really, suggestions are quite usual - it does indeed depend on your budget - in no particular order, i'd go for the "fiat standard" look of;

- full abarth bodykit (see classifieds at mo for GREAT "pingu" price on bumpers...)
- anthracite alloys from a gt (though yes, dark car may suit whites...)
- headlight lense protectors
- lower car slightly
- tidy up any parts of bodywork if required
- clear side repeaters
- subtle abarth / scorpion badging

thats all i can think of, in terms of my preferences.

Just tint the windows and keep the alloys u have, i have the same alloys u have, they look great and it doesnt look over top. maybe lower 40mil' too.

how much is insurance on a sporting as your first car?

nice car btw

Be inventive - full abarth kit is an option, but is overdone sometimes.

I am going to be fitting the full kit though so can't say much

bit off topic.. but i think mk1 sideskirts look waaaaaay too much oversized and a bit stupid compared to mk2 abarth skirts

not too bad tbh - the mk1 skirts fitted to a mk2...

IMO, it's proportional to the car.

The mk1 abarth skirts are much more fluid, and were designed at a time where people were sticking all sorts of rubbish to thier cars. and, if you remove the rubstrips, you can see a very nice crease, that fades over the rear wheel arch, but is still there, a line that the abarth skirts clearly follow.

The mk2 abarth skirts are smaller yes, but still proportional to the car, also much more angular in fitting with the mk2's sharp crease lines.

Oh and whoever smacked mk1 skirts on that mk2 clearly has no taste It just doesn't suit it at all :bang:

my insurance was £700 but im a girl so guess it would be quite alot more for you.

I kind of like the mk1 skirts on the mk2, strange idea though

40mill drop all round DO NOT tint your rear lights thats gay, smoked repeaters, smoked lights on the front coupe wheels in antracite or some white team dynamics pro racing 1.2's 15" maybe even go 60mill, gonna need shorted gas shocks if you do that though, keep it subtle
