yeah they are genuine abarth ones, just the same but black

it was hard cause under the bumper and wing you would not beleive how big they are from what you can see when they are on the car

and allso they have a bolt holding them to the chassis rail with the head like poining down and to the front, with it being a deisel there is fuck all room to get fingers in never mind a ratchet,

took me an hour just to get those bolts out...... I havent put them back in

Before (taken from Matt's garage)



That looks really really good though Matt, if they are proper Abarth/Fiat ones I bet they set you back something large as well

lookes miles better mate, result .

new cars are getting a bit silly with their designs though, There was an episode of 5th gear the other night where they raised this point, and it took about an hour to change just a headlight bulb on a new renult.

they look photoshopped in that pic but look very nice and sets the car off a treat

dark colours go with orange so well, light colours not so much.
