new abarth bumper fitted

as far as im aware they just bolt on. But on the front there will be a gap where they are supposed to fit to the shape of the slightly wider wings of the 2.0. So You would have to use a bit of fibreglass matting and try and fill the gap so it sits flush with the 1.2-1.8 wings.

Or alternatively you could go for different sideskirts, you can get them off ebay or other websites for cheap enough. Maybe something similar to what Mike has on is dark blue bravo?
 
im sure there'd be enough play in them to bend them into shape a little? i don't really want anything too over the top, plus i'd rather not fork out on having to have them sprayed and fitted, only really gonna do the sideskirts if i can get them cheap, in the right colour and fit them myself
 
so i gave it a good clean and a polish yesterday, just thought i'd put a few pictures up :)

here's the car as her bought her in january 2010

i hate to think how much money i have spent! aha
 
im not sure if you would be able to bend the skirt in to make it fit or not, i wouldn't like to say in case im wrong.

Maybe someone else on here has done it and knows?

Either way car looks nice. Although i drive a heavily modified bravo i love seeing one thats modified with factory upgrades! decals down the side look a treat too mate go with the black and yellow them all over the car.

Still have to say the abarth decals would look good above a nice set of abarth sideskirts =).
 
cheers mate, i may invest in some side skirts... depends whether i get offered a permanent job where im working atm as my contract's about to run out, should know by the end of the week
 
now im not sure if i like it or not,it did look nice and clean when you bought it.But now you have black stickers and wheels on it...i dunno,just not keen on it :/
 
i got them from stu cook marcus, im not sure where he originally got them from

so you prefered it standard mike? :S
 
yer i do like yellow bravos,especially if the have been polished up,they stand out and look well :)

just dont like black wheels,never had done.
 
fair enough mate, each to their own isn't it :) i prefer white multispoke alloys personally but white wouldn't have suited the car, plus having non standard alloys would put my insurance up too much to justify them aha
 
im now tempted to fit some abarth sideskirts too... and also upgrade to apex shocks all round to match the springs, and possibly get a goodridge brakeline kit and get my brakes serviced
