Email: john@colwells.co.uk
Country: UK

Model: 2.0 20v (pre-1998)  
Colour: 820 Metallic Ink Black  
Interior: 372 Cloth Grey & Black  

Year acquired: 1997
Secondhand: yes

Options
No external changes, but several mods to interior including aluminium effect dashboard kit by Postert(very effective -especially in a metallic ink black coupe) aluminium instrument bezels(superb!) from German club, aluminium pedals and various Fiat aluminium accessories.

Tuning
No performance modifications.

Loved
Style, performance, exclusivity (in Norfolk), smoothness of engine. The fact that the coupe looks stunning but can still seat 4 in reasonable comfort.

Improvements
Paintwork seems to scratch easily - this may be my fault as I wash it too much! Otherwise still very pleased after 3.5 years of ownership!

Comment
Thanks for excellent website!

A knocking noise has started to come from the steering well when I pull away from rest. I will be asking my dealer about this(Wife's Punto makes the same noise!) Has anyone come across this or knows the cure?
