Ours (well my girlfriends) is a bit of freak, it isn't a real one so to speak, it is full essesse spec though and has a Tune4performance map on it, I have a thread from when we first bought it here:

That looks like a lovely example, I've been sorting out ours the last couple of days too, it was more of a cream colour than white to start with, did you find the boot covered in tar and iron fillings? Seems to be a hot spot, not sure where ours was kept previously but I had to do multiple hits...
Hi Guys,
I haven't done a top up shop for ages, started detailed my white Abarth today and realised I was very under tooled.
What are people reccomending for microfibres and drying towels these days? I had two new fluffy purple things still wrapped up, went to try them and they were terrible...
My friend Iain was there in his rx7, had a bit of issue with black flags for noise before finding a decibel devil and managing to take part for the rest of the day.
He said it was a little relaxed etiquette wise.
Shame you couldn't get the mk3 out there Ste!
Thanks for the input Dan :)
Like you say, I know the car isn't perfect and I'm quite happy to send pics of everything wrong with it to interested parties so hopefully honesty pays off in the end.
Hi guys,
Could someone give me some honest feedback for my advert/price? The really cheap ones seem to be flying out of the door so I'm not sure if I'm over valuing mine, I thought £1500 was a fair price but maybe I need to rethink that.
The missfire has now been sorted via a new injector so I...
The ebay advert is here:

That has the full spec list which as...
They are usually quite expensive for what they are and I personally wouldn’t pay the full premium for one, this one saying Fiat on the log book meant I got it for 3k which when you add the parts cost up is a bargain, only 47k on the clock too :)
Well that settles it, up for sale it goes haha...
I've read that they seem to be a bit problematic, luckily it won't be getting abused much so fingers crossed it hangs on, if we have any major issues it will just get broken for parts :smile:
Bit of a random purchase to be honest, a good friend of mine had one of his cars on ebay, I know the car well and know the full history of it, I was stood is pets at home when with 5 seconds left when I thought why not, whacked a bid in and ended up winning it so I now own this thing:

Good choice of car to work on your skills with, where abouts are you in the country? Plenty of people on here are happy to help out and offer advice :)
You also bought the fastest colour!
Thought I would post another quick update.
First off I took the weight saving a step too far:

Yes a fresh door is finally on, I could do with swapping the check strap over as this one is a little stiff but other than that happy that's over with.
I then...

Not sure wht it is set to privacy wise but I've attached a couple of pics showing the adapter plate, it was all homebrew driveway stuff, 330d manual box is needed because it has a 35mm input shaft whereas the petrol one only has 24mm I think he said.
One from Lindos the other week.

I've also just picked up the new Canon 50mm STM lens to have a play with, my first non kit lens, looking forward to learning more, for now I've just been running around the garden with it.

Looks like a nice little example, as said skoda splitters are about £15 and will tidy up the front end at a much cheaper price than the renault alternative.
Wheels wise I'm surprised turinis haven't been mentioned yet, they are the go to wheels on here, I personally prefer 2118's or pro race...
I saw you were giving up for the time being....this made me sad.
I then saw you had sorted it....this made me happy again.
Top work, hopefully the issue with the injectors gets sorted eventually and then you can enjoy what you have built properly :).
