welcome to fiat forum :D , also make sure you dont buy any power chips from ebay that cost £3 or so and claim to add 20bhp!!

im assuming thats those knob things that claim... when you turn them up it adds bhp to your car by re mapping the ecu ???...

secondly... is there any chance i can have the name of the person who sells these chips for 40 pounds.... i would be very inerested....
thanks alot for putting up with my newbie comments.... i think is mainly because of my age and lack of knowledge right now :)

The £40 chips your talking about are called Mckrich chips. Run a quick search. :) Is you car the SX model? Or the sporting? If it is the SX model the chips do not fit. I opened up my spare SX (899cc) ECU the other day and the chip which the Mckrich chip replaces is much larger and the ECU is a completly different lay out. However if you have a Sporting model, because your car is before the 98 model the chip will drop striaght in. The Mckrich chips are avaliable from the user on here called mckrich. There is a sticky thread at the top of the technical forum. Hope this helps,

Fred

Welcome to the forums!

I can agree that members on here are very helpful and thats the whole reason in asking about things if your unsure or just general enquiries, so to speak...

For interior/ exterior styling, all depends what you're after, but as said fastfiat.com or just try eBay!

Got any pics of your car ???
 
On a 98 Sporting you are going to need a whole new ECU from an older car if your fitting a Mckrich chip. The standard chip is not removable. Get an induction kit from GSR as they are awesome (avoid K&N) but remember you got to insure it! Welcome to the forum btw, what colour is your sporting? :)
 
im picking my car up tomorrow.... so ill get some pictures for you then...
its a grey colour... with an orange stripe around the bumper (y)..
thanks alot for all the help :)
