Very good If I was the seller I'd bring the vehicle out into the sun and give it a wash before taking any pictures. The work quality does look very good, but I don't like it as it's a mix of Fezza, Brava with a touch of raging bull so a true example of 'Less is more' in my book. www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes

I'm curious as to what the black vents are supposed to be under the rear lights. The rest of it can just about be explained or justified, but I don't see the point of those.

Maybe Alternative Autos? I think most get debugged de badged as the old ones look manky!! Last edited by patch234; 17/02/2016 09:40.

Got em as new old stock off some badging place on eBay... They are genuine though When I got the car a couple of years ago, it was missing the rear badge. Although- I must say, even with the front badge still on, people had literally no idea what the car was. The 5-slash FIAT badge has been totally forgotten in modern culture it would seem.

JKD Unregistered J	One day I was stationary at a set of traffic lights in the Coop and there was a guy in a BMW next to me in the other lane. ''I love your Ferrari!'' he said, looking in my direction. I was having a miserable day and the compliment cheered me up. ''Thank you!'' I said, smiling. He then looked forward at the road and I saw he was wearing a small Bluetooth headset. ''So when are you taking it to the Nürburgring?'' he asked whoever he was talking to.
