After nearly year of searching i found alloys from 20VT (you may laugh but it is hard to find this model here)When i found them i have to paint them and made my own abarth caps for the alloys. From that moment i start a project based on black and red and decided not to leave any other color on the car.

And the fuel cap

Le kit was bought
click to enlarge

But soon after that i damaged it ... frown

click to enlarge

And here it comes the begining of the end i hope laugh In the begining of 2011 i decided to make everything i want on the car at once, starting with repaint, repair the LE kit, black roof, facelift steering wheel, a little more sound improvement, upholstery of the gear shift and so on.

Starting with the actual bodywork ... in the pictures could be seen the new exhaust

The car is now ready ... i will give photos of the interior in it's final version and with armrest upholstered in the color of the interior ...

PP. Sorry for possible mistakes ... I am ready to listen and take every criticism and compliment ! smile

Really nice work there smile

Maybe there should be a blacktop sub-club - not forgetting mirrors and fuel cap wink

Like the leather interior particularly, good luck keeping it in that good condition...

Well done and keep going, rotate
Owning a coupe is truly a commitment
You wake up every day
You look at it
And you think
What next
And it's on you're mind all day
