mmmmmmm yellow cinq nom nom nom

[purf]

Just ordered some yellow window tint! haha

I plan to cover the headlight protectors with yellow tint  (which have little abarth badges btw!) so they will be like french low glare headlights. Legal in my opinion! I will also tint the rear quater glass.



Will have the black revolutions fitted soon i hope.

and the cars also got dealer momo steering wheel and leather gearlever gaiter too 

I've also fitted the abarth headrests from the old car and iv just started polishing a spare rocker cover...

after a quick clean and rub down by hand to get rid of the worst high spots

yellow!

[halfpint]

is that legal?

[purf]

its debatable - but iv tinted the headlight covers so they can be whipped off if required

mot regs state white or yellow headlights.

[halfpint]

well let us know if you get pulled or not. if you do and they say they legal let us know.

[purf]

I have researched that by MOT rules they are legal but apparently nany EU rules say headlights should be white only.
Im a rebel what can i say! and there are so many clearly blue'ish hd headlights out there!!! 

[halfpint]

they do like to contradict the rules to suit themselves.

They look like deflectors.. Back in the 80's you could buy them from Halfords if you intend driving over to France/Germany..

  yum yum,Its hard to beat the Cinquecento in Broom Yellow,i have to be honest i was never fan of Broom Yellow at first but i do like it on the Cinquecento,

Like the sounds of your plans,i look foward to more updates,

If its any help?? i polished my cam cover and as much as it was hard work by hand it was worth it,all i did was use a sanding block and working with rough to smooth wet and dry using a little polish i had like Bling!! in no time.....well lots of time lol,its not perfect but it does look good and gives it a good looking finish,

Cheers Scuderia

cheers Scuderia

heres how its looking so far. amost finished with coarse paper, I'l have to use some dremmel bits to get into the nooks and crannys i think.



I may also use some kid of liquid metal to help make it look really good, as there are some deep wear marks from the air celaner clamp and deep pitting from the casting process.

i mate of mine mirror polishes stuff , he uses sand paper going up the levels to 2000 grit then uses zeplin polish

this is his work the p slots are mine

Trouble with metal filler is that it will NOT polish up like real metal.... If you end up painting the cover try using delta quick set or quick steel to use as a filler prior to painting
