Took a big step today to getting the outside finished by adding some 18' Dare V5 alloys. Put on Toyo Proxies as well. This added to the full Cadamuro kit (cheers Mariusz <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) with Cadamuro grill and spoiler. For some of the smaller details Ive also removed the rear wiper (cheers Fergie <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) debadged the bonnet and on the rear smoothed out the boot lock and reflector recesses. Clear side repeaters (cheers Nazo <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />). Just have to get a bit of mesh fitted to the rear bumper. I think it being lowered on the FK Coilovers helps as well (cheers Truffle <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />).

Anyway heres some pics:

Here is a few pics I took just on Sunday without the 18's

From Front

From Side

I know alot o people like the standard alloys but to me the 18's has almost made it look like a new car <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />.

naa, 18's look small <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> i like the alloys, they are "large" 18's if you know what i mean? mine look small but they look nice and big.

I have to say that i LOVE it!

The alloys are perfect and certainly are now my no1 choice if i ever get the chance.

my only complaint would be that i wouldnt have the roof spoiler.

Great job! now dont ever drive it, keep it in a glass case.

Truffle these wheels are the only ones to get in my opinion. A nice simple 5 spoke design which as ajg says looks big. Also and perhaps most importantly thanks to consulting Circolo I found that these are a direct fit on the 20VT. No spacers, No wobbly bolts, they don't even need the small coloured plastic rings. Also even with it being lowered I have no rubbing issues and still get full steering lock (for what its worth <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />).

how much and where from ?

All in with the Toyo's fitted and balanced £950. I also got the steering aligned for free and a free car wash so they could take pics and put them on their website. Might not be of much use to you guys as Tyre Saftey Centre are based in NI. The free alignment and wash was mainly down to my brother who works for them <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. If you look in the "customers car section" on their site under Fiat theres a pic of my car on 17's without the bodykit.

The wheels took a while to come as when they where originally ordered they came by mistake in ET 30 which didn't fit, aparant admin error <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. So took a few weeks for the ET 25 to come but was worth the wait.

Might be of some use to you 16V and NA guys as I was told today that Dare have a big batch of the ET 30 sitting in a warehouse that they cant shift. Perhaps explains the admin error <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

damn my lack of funds!

so where exactly is this car parked ? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

mmmmmmm low rider <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Very nice looking car.

I'm not too keen on the front mesh - a FMIC would sit nicely in there, plus the roof top spoiler makes it a little too busy for my liking. Apart from that its a real head turner..

Yeah liking the look of that coupe <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Only thing I'd change is the mesh on the front bumper.

.....and you need to get the roof fixed back on properly, it's slipped about 5 inches down the rear window..... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The wheels look great but IMO I think the rear is way OTT.

Youve actually made the 18"'s look like 16"s again by the large rear overhang and bodykit.

Sorry, just my opinion. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

ally, i think it looks lust the only thing i`d have to change is the mest from silver to black mate!

these the wheels they are? http://www.alloywheelsni.com/html/content/popup/popupwheel33.asp?image=16_Icon5.jpg

how much were they?

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

the car is stuning mate brill like it all well done <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Duuuuude, that's a nice car...:D

OK guys cheers for all the opinions so far. In regard to the mesh I cant see it in black myself and I know there is a slight difference in the mesh in the grill and the bumper. I just went with it anyway to get the job done but Ive since got mesh that matches the bumper and going to fill the holes in the rear bumper as well. Ive just recieved a Pro Alloy FMIC so the whole mesh will have to be re-worked anyway.

Cosmo you said the kit makes the wheels look small. Well you can imagine how small the standard alloys looked on it before it was lowered, this is simply the most I can do with this bodykit which I always liked. Ive always been different in what Ive done to my cars. So in going for this kit I wanted to try and be different from the normal LE or Zender kits. Myself and yellow_coop are the only two Coupes that are in anyway modified at all in NI <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

I know there are alot of people on here that wont like what Ive done, and thats fine, each to there own and all that. However it because Ive modified my Coupe doesn't mean I'm wanting to take away from the fact that its a Fiat or anything. Ive always driven Fiats and am an active member of the NIIMC (Northern Ireland Italian Motor Club). Im a Coupe fanatic, there is no other car in the world that I think competes with it in terms of individuality and value for money. This car is my life (if you dont believe me ask my girlfriend or family). Some of you may think its a "Boy Racer" car now or something, but I can tell you how well I look after this car that Im sure its better cared for than 90% of the Coupes in the world (Dont mean to offend anyone) or any modified Saxo, Corsa, 106 etc. Its just hit 68k and I hope to be driving it for many years to come. Long after alot of "Boy Racers" have either put their cars in a hedge. Or for example non forum memebers Coupes have died thanks to not knowing how to look after them, or that theyve lost interest and sold up and moved onto the next new thing.

Im not getting all defensive here or anything as I knew their would be negitive opinions before I posted. I just want to put across where Im coming from and to try and let you know just like everyone else on here, how much I love my Coupe <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" />.

mate the more I look at that rear bumper (the more I like it - ALOT) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Might have to look into that in the future !!!

Again NICE JOB tho Fella !!

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I was at a Car Show last week and had a good look around a Ferrari 360 and I noticed just how much its rear bumpers look like this one (I know there is another 360 style rear for the coupe). Also that the Ferrari had the same Pininfarina badges and side repeaters as the Coupe <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />.

I'm saving for a silver one in the future, Trouble is with the "Dancing Donkey" it spends most of it's time in the shed <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> then when it comes out to play yer brake it and it has to go to the "vet" to be petted and loved a wee bit more.

What make (who dunnit) the rear bumper you got onit ??

cos the other half said earlier (close yer mouth) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I got the kit from Mariusz. You can either PM him on the forum or contact him on his Website here.

Thought It might have been ??


<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

mmmmmm U got me thinking (wallet getting ready shoes on laces tight marks set --> catch me) Doh! allways one step ahead,

But na, I prefer the bumper the way u have it, no lower horizontal piece under the V. Just my pref.

Might have to have a good old shimmy at this in the future.

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hello Ally.. your car looks beautifully.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/love.gif" alt="" /> congratulations.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

..and thanks a lot <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hey Mariusz,

I wasn't saying That I dont like your's fella Like them both !!!!

I always have wondered what A coupe would look like with that kinda rear lower styling.

Think I might be hastling you in the future Mariusz. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Bout £150 for the rear bumper in that style ?? How much to send it just a little south of Zurich. ??

(also) do you think it would look ok on a Standard LE (or a bit too much) ??????????

Think I'll have a play with photoshop tonight <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

oh dear, sorry but this is a few steps to far IMO, moves it away from italian style and into the realms of Max power.

Shipping cost.. about.. 39 euro.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


I will seek in my collection.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Need to get rid of the silver mesh, it looks gay <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> i did have the same last year but i soon saw the light and fitted black, it looks so much better <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I just cant picture this whole black mesh thing in my head. Does anyone have any pics?

On the whole moving away from Italian styling I have to disagree. Cadamuro are an Italian designer that make mostly for Italian cars. The skirts follow the original lines of the car, the front bumper is like an exagerated Zender bumper (which is Fiat approved) and as Ive said I think the raer is quite 360 like. How can that not be Italian? If I had went "Max Power" the Id have fitted some sort of Japanese bodykit and went for a crazy paint job <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

I want to hear everyones opinions whether good or bad and I wont take offence to what anyone says. In my opinion a standard Coupe would now be too boring. If you think you get attention in a standard Coupe then try driving mine. I know its a marmite car now (Coupes are even in stanard trim anyway), but I really like it and after all its me that drives it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
