Yeah just silver vinyl, it's near enough a perfect match to the other little silver bits like the glove box handle, door handles etc.. Don't know why fiat didn't bother to do the steering wheel controls as well, looks so much better.
I really like what you are doing with it, but makes me wish I never got rid of my tangerine!!

Thanks mate your yellow sporting is really nice, was looking at getting a yellow one but they are even harder to come by!

I believe some control bits in the Abarth model are silver... orange ftw!

Yeah I think they are, they should have been fitted in the sportings as well. Was thinking of getting my spoiler and the bit between it and the sky dome done in black vinyl, anybody recommend any good places that do it around the warrington area?
why vinyl the sky dome?
just do it yourself! it isn't hard

Im don't want to vinyl the sky dome mate, just the spoiler and the the bit in between the spoiler and the sky dome.
I would give it a go but probably wouldn't be very good.

Big update!!
My gearbox had gone. Booked in to fiat Monday morning. Being done under warranty so at least I don't have to fork out for the cost.

Don't think I'll be getting mine remapped (not anytime soon anyway) so hopefully this box should last me.
i think if i get mine remaped its not going to be in the 180+ because i cant really afford a gearbox lol. 150-160 maybe.
