Mango know better than to annoy me, but it doesn't stop her. Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!

Always a pleasure to spend a day in ‘coupe world’...last time he just happened to have some nearly new front suspension parts, red rocker cover and strut brace I didn’t even know I needed....get it on!! inky goodness!!
