I KNOW! 

I bought these damn wheels about a year ago, and since have been waiting to need new tyres and now i have them and the spacers - iv only had time to paint 2 up! Fixing the exhaust and mot issues came first this week!

Hi all

Iv been having thoughts about this...





im thinking it looks pretty good! not too over the top or plonkervy?? haha i love the anti plonker thing

[halfpint]

it's defo not over the top, she is very tastfully done.

[STU?]

changed my mind do it to the flag that looks sweeet as. you could always take em off if u change your mind

[purf]

Cool

thanks for the feedback guys! Im thinking it has do be done! itl be the only one like it

Im determined to fit the rest of the new tyres and get the wheels on 2moro

I havent ever seen a cinq with abarth kit on the road b4!

Good ole cinq! I Just drove 8hrs - about 400 miles from wimborne to portsmouth then watford, then luton, then home to wimborne in the wifes standard yellow cinq. I realised the rev limiter is higher than my car!? could mine have a different ecu chip?  I have also noticed the 'key'/imobiliser light on in my car occasionally...

It had a car club stickers when i got it??? hmmm Iv always thought it has a bit extra than expected for a 1.1...

spose i will have to post on a car club and find if anyone knows about the cars history

[halfpint]

i had the immobileser light prob will have to think cause that was a while back now.

[purf]

Hey halfpint - its not a problem at all - it just comes on now and again for a whole journey, makes me think the imob has been disabled...? Its never needed the red key - and i have messed about with the electronics quite a bit... anyway

New wheels fitted on the front with spacers - will upload pics in a min

[halfpint]

i to thought it was the immobilizer but it wasnt as i had mine disconnected to see if it was that. i will still try to rememer age is against me.

[halfpint]

what does your little light look like that lights up sometimes? just want to clerify what it looks like.

[purf]

Its a little key pic with 'key' written underneath. doesnt affect the car at all - which makes me think it could be chipped - and i also think it has a lower rev limiter - but im gonna double check that

The cars exhaust is perfect now, centre box removed and 4 leaks fixed! its ready for mot now

heres the front wheels fitted. I have yet to paint the rears as it started raining just b4 i did them!!!



Iv painted the spacers as they are steel items



will post a better pic then they are all fitted

[STU?]

just remember , the mkcritch chip (carn't remember how it is spelled) used to be available from someone on ff it give you better performace but removes the imobiliser you possibly have one of these 

[charlie Fett]

that is a good chip, I have got one in my ecu I paid a guy on FF £60 for the chip and ecu. For best results combine these  4 . The chip, 866 cam supersprint 4-2-1 manifold and a GSR. Then you have a very good stage 1 BPU

[purf]

here we go

[STU?]

looks sweet mate would look even better lowered a bit , u know which one you puting abarth kit on yet??

[purf]

it is lowered already 

-40 i think lowering springs - standard shockers - brand new on front. When i had the springs out - i was soooo tempted to chop them a bit too - but it already hits some speedbumps with two people in! 

Should look a whole lot lower with the abarth kit :P
