Cinquecento Update.

[Guest]

I have now bought 2 front seats as my old ones looks like they were creamed, cos I broke the drivers seat so I need a replacement. I got these front seats out of a Seicento and they went straight in. Lovely. They only cost £40 for the pair, it's good that there are no rips or tears on them either. All they need is a bit of a clean. Also today with the help of little Charlie I got the rest of the paint done inside the car so it's looking all white now,  get it all white! white paint!  oh never mind. So thats one big paint in the arse job done now and it looks sweet.

it may sound like little things but it was a big job like cleaning all the seals and then when it comes to we had to take them out and then clean the seals and put back the windows but now its lookin whiter than white like daz lol  and the seats are just hot

I am well pleased with the way it looks now,  next I think will be to spray the outside of the car.

That's getting to look a nice lil cinq chas what color are you thinking of doing or are you keeping it the same,seeing that the inside is white why dont you do the outside the same but with a pearl mix in the paint, never seen a white sporting before so might look different from the usual colors we see them in  . give me a couple of days and a open free for all cheque book loads of ideas

The look of my car is having the rally look so I will not be going for the show car look. As nice as it sounds to  have a pearl mix in the paint I don't think it looks very rally car like, but nice idea though.

[STU?]

looking good mate , i think white whould look mint n use red n blue stickers for the rally style 

[olgit]

There ya go Mr Fett crack on mate

[charlie Fett]

Thanks DJ, I agree that would lok great. I will be putting a different front valance on which is part of the savage kit.


I have not done that much to the car today but I did manage to put the anti-slip strips on both drivers and passengers sides. I am a bit undecided on keeping them there though. Dont know what you peeps think.

I have a nice set of mats that would go nice if interested.

But the strips doo look nice, we should have done something like that in our Triumph, instead we properly fitted left over carpet from the kit car's interior.

  Not sure about those strips...
How about some thing like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aluminium-Sheet-5-Bar-Tread-Plate-1000mm-x-750mm-x-2mm_W0QQitemZ270377856056QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_BOI_Metalworking_Milling_Welding_Metalworking_Supplies_ET?hash=item3ef3c6ac38&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Thanks Steve, I think maybe a footplate like this would be great.

Even better Charlie.. I just done a quick search to see what came up..I do like the one you found 

[charlie Fett]

The only thing is Steve would I drill it to the floor, and if so is there anything under there like brake lines that I may hit?

[halfpint]

that's a good question. but you can get industrial strength adhesives that will do the job and no worries of drilling holes
