What is the original Tipo Spoiler made out of?

I saw a picture of one and it looks like Wood

is it not that sort of firm foamy stuff?

Depends if you mean the Sedici spoiler or a non-Sedici spoiler.

Theres a arbarth one on Flea bay at the moment...

Is it? You think its fake?

Well I put that to him and all I got back was 'I'll get you a pic'

Almost certainly not an original Fiat part unlike the normal spoiler. If its a normal spoiler then its about as abarth as my foot.

Normal spoilers are a sort of hard plastic painted to the colour of the car.
Sedici spoilers are made from the same stuff as the bumpers and are black.

Fraudsters eh.....

Hellcat Knows best,

i'm sure ive seen a Abarth body kit for a tipo on German E-bay??
Is there such a kit in existance??
Correct me if im wrong, i usually am..

No such thing from Fiat. There just simply wasn't an abarth Tipo.

Learn something every day as they say.....
Doh im wrong yet again.....
will note that for future sales,
ive mailed him too.... abarth spoiler man that is...

lol i mailed him too , i know hellcat knows his stuff ,
oh that brings me to something else on one of the sedici for sale on ebay they said that there was only 500 made is that true ?

really want to get one maybe in a few months when i have some more space (3 cars is just to many )
wont be modding it though just restore it to its full glory

There were more than 500 made, just 500 were sold in the UK. They were still building Sedici's in 2001 in Brazil or Poland or somewhere like that. Not sure I could cope with a LHD Sedici though, overtaking would be torture and that's half the fun of the Sedici.

Glad to see there are more and more willing to restore Tipos, great and small, back to original condition. Some slight tweeks to the design can look good, but Tipos just don't seem to suit bodykits. Not sure what it is about the shape but it just doesn't look right without the original bumper.

sedici spoiler is made from foam, is fairly rigid and glue's to the body work. I know I have one resting against the wall in the garage.

With my name on it still I hope

In Turkey Sedicivalvoles sold with a Zender spoiler after 1998.

Think original spoilers colour coded were made by Lester. they were ABS foam i think. Sedicis look great with one.
And, i agree with Hellcat, Tipos do not suit bodykits.

is there a part number for original spoilers? the one i've just got has a number on it. it's foam sort of stuff. looks good too.:slayer:

Put the number up, and perhaps someone can try it on the ePER.

DIS H443 if that's any use?

Error! Does not compute!

DIS H433 in not a fiat part number
