Lots of people don't use Internet forums to talk about their cars...perhaps, they just see it as a car, alternatively they have enough other stuff going on in their lives to manage without us!

Rather than using Fiat, maybe they just use their local friendly garage to change the oil - I certainly did so in the past rather than taking a day off work to go to a specialist!

i only knew about the forum when my old 16vt broke down (engine failure) on the A1 and Roly Drove by and kept me dry from the rain, handed me a forum card and weblink and coupe ownership started to make sense, i would have been oblivious otherwise

Hello and welcome! I've only been on here a few months and honestly don't know how i would have managed without these guys. Matt black may be cheaper than you think, you can wrap it in vinyl, which varies dramaticaly in price. Painting matt black i've been told is also very simple, no polishing/ buffing etc.

Wow thanks for the welcome , just to clarify , first service was at fiat dealer in epsom because she was only two years old and i wanted full dealer service history, but after main dealer charges (and usual main dealer attitudes(should have known better as in the trade)) realised i could do better job. Anyway now no need for service history as can never see a reason to let her go. Used to have a Uno Turbo, these italian cars, they just get in your soul!

jame5 , know what you mean about vinyl wrap, but seen a bentley in a carbon fibre wrap recentley (yes it was a footballers car) and it just looked really tacky

They are so sweet mate...especially when the loud peddle is pressed
