Bravo Bravo Abarth Conversion.

Introduction

I always thought that the Bravo is such a beautiful car and would look amazing in Abarth livery. So I set out on this project which I have really enjoyed doing. I also really love the hidden exhausts rather than the twin pipes on the back also which is why I have no plans to change the back end of the box. Currently Running at a "restricted" 175BHP and 209ft/lb of torque, it currently has more torque than the 695 Tribute 500!

So i've slowly been doing work to my Bravo over the last 1.5years! Thought it was finally time to post up whats been done and get some opinions! Won't be for everyone but welcome all opinions! :D

So I started with my 150 T-Jet below (as standard)

So my first modification was Hid's which were 4300k's:

Then I got my GSR installed and remapped:

I have some restrictive problems with my Cat on the exhaust, which is backing up my exhaust so my power is flat-lining higher up. This will be sorted in the next couple of months. It's plenty fast enough at the moment.

Next I got my Abarth badges and Alloy wheels for my car:

Afterwards I made a new Abarth Key in the new style:

And I got a new engine cover and set of car mats to go with it:

And finally, replaced my steering wheel with a new one from a 500 Abarth:

When I finally get my new Exhaust parts I can also fit my Esseesse boost sensors to regulate the boost better too:

So with that completed so far, some further modifications include:
-New downpipe with sport cat from TMC and Esseesse boost sensors
-Grande Punto Abarth Seats
-Maybe some new Springs and Dampeners
-New Brakes/Tyres

Thanks For Looking! :D

i no you will have to wield a nut to the base for the seat belt to attach to because the seat belt on the grande bolts to the car. it might be better to change the hole rail over.

Not the case it seems, did not have to weld anything, The seat belts like on my car are part of the seat not the car.

Todays job done! was dark by the time I was done, will get some better pictures later!
 
Just done my first long journey in the seats and they are SOOOOO comfy. I could sit in them all day and just drive around :D Super Happy! :D

Hopefully will have more stuff appearing over the christmas period... ;)
 
The only thing wrong in that interior now is the white/gray roof liner and pillars.

I suppose I can spray the plastics.....I guess shouldnt be hard to get another roof lining....will have to go on the hunt, should be able to get one cheap enough :p cheers for giving me more to do/think about :eek: haha! But I see your point! :D Back to ebay! hahah! (y)

You can't actually spray the plastics in black that easily, paint doesn't stick on that kind of plastic.

You can paint the ceiling very easily, and cover the pilars with some black alcantara or fabric.

the seatbelt adjustment mechanism will have to stay white unfortunately :(
