Matt the 16v turbo's had 16" wheels, i feel the 15" wheels are too small on the 16v and 20v

I occasionally mistake FTOs for Coupés in the distance I've done that too Me too I personally love the side and rear view of a Coupe, but, like some others have said, the front isn't always nice, depending how you look at it. I find that if I stand and look straight on at the front of a Coupe, it looks cross eyed and not very nice.

I hate this view of my Coop . I can`t wait till I get my 360 bumper changed for an LE lipped standard one . Baz I guess you bought it like this thinking you'd change it back to original later? IMHO that 360 front bumper is hideous.

My favourite views of the coop are front side as its passing, love the slashes, long bonnet, short rear :O) such an eye-catching car, as im just minding my own business just driving a long, if a coop passes coming the opposite direction, my eyes are suddenly drawn to it before i know what it is, anyone else get that? Saw a red 16vt from a distance yesterday and thought it was a ferrari passing until i realised it was a humble fiat coupe like mine lol. Love the view from interior looking down the long bonnet, makes you realise what a great car ur driving. Worst angle would be.....I cant really think of one really, perhaps the rear at times, can look a bit square-sawn off, but thats just being picky, overall i keep pinching myself everytime i go out in it cuz i cant believe what a good looking, rare car i have for pennies ;o) i always open my window in the morning if im taking mates to work, the engine note is just gorgeous, it roars!
I'll be back Alor Blue Seat Leon FR 180 atm

Lol i know what u mean, happens to me everytime if its been raining night before or i've washed it, pees me off but makes me smile because it's such a quirky car :O) cracks me up how the rear window wiper only cleans a bit of the rear window too haha! fantastic car If they were left-hand drive it would be fine, they just couldn't be bothered! And my service history says about mods made by a fiat garage to a known problem of the front driver-side wiper fouling the bonnet due to right-hand drive conversion......you gotta love it!

One of my fave angles HAS to be the bulges of the rear when looking in the wing mirrors......the most exotic aspect of the car from the driving seat in my opinion. Wing Mirror
