Ok, I have decided to take everyones advice and opt out of the delta kit 1 plainly based on the fact everyone is right, it is the wrong shape for the uno and I have decided on 4 of the first mods, let me know what everyone thinks and what should be done next, the must have Uno mods. (list below, a link or picture of each item will be found underneath each item listed)

Alloys : 4x 15 inch TSW Apex with Yokohama 195/50/15 tyres.

Fiat Uno 1.1 i.e. S (standard).....WATCH THIS SPACE!
 
Hei.

Are you sure those wheels and tires will fit. Remember the standard on an Uno 1.1 i.e.S (just as mine) is 155/70R13. If you install 165/60R14 you'll get a wheel that's 1,2% too slow - when reading your speedo at 60, you're travelling at 60,7, so appx. the same. Installing the 195/50R15 will get too big wheels - they are 5,3% too slow, showing 60 when travelling at 63,2. This means you'll get plenty speeding tickets. There might also be problems with tracking and even rubbing the wheels in the wheel arches. Please change shock absorbers as well (gas - not oil) when shanging springs. Get a complete kit.

If you're going for 15", my recommendation is 165/50R15 or 185/45R15. Please try one on before bying, and bring the steering to full lock.

An another thing. Is it 4" wide? Then it's not suitable for 195 mm wide tyres. Then you need at least 5". I've got 5,5"13" on winter and 5,5"14" on summer. Winter tyres are 145 mm and summer tyres are 165 mm. The winter alloys are 1" too wide, should be 4,5", and that's standard. You shouldn't go down on this size when getting wider tyres. The tyre walls will then bend inwards when cornering hard and reduce its stiffness.

Just some parental advice...

If you want a new body kit now check out this site:

15s will fit on your uno but u will need 195/45s
 
Nothing wrong with that. It's a difference between 195/45R15 and 195/50R15 since the 2nd number is percentage of the width. The difference in speed with these two tyres is actually 2,2 mph. 195/45R15 is then the best choice showing 60 mph when travelling 61 mph.
