Definitely agree on a solid colour. Metallics on stripped/caged cars don't often complement the race look anyway. With yellow highlights, something along the lines of RB would tempt me, though it has been done a few times. Red would look "Noddy" so that would be out for me. If you've got a...

Sounds like a busy couple of months! I suppose you can look at it from the perspective that it's giving you a push to get it done though. I think the car would look great in the grey that the doors are in those pictures. Or grey inside with RB outside? What about yellow? I like yellow, as you...

It does amaze me how bad the trim in these cars is! So many other cars last donkey's years without having any of this kind of trouble. Good ol' Renault. Big improvement that!

You pays your money, takes your choice. The used Billies (I think that's what they are) aren't going to be worth £4k. With the Cup car you benefit from the beefy uprights etc, as well as the cage and fancy dash. Their are many ways to skin a cat of course. My point was that it's very easily...

No, but you could easily have a set of dampers made to suit. Most suspension companies would be willing to do it. @EVOgone has Reiger on his rally car which are obviously at the top end of the market, but Avo would do a set for about £1k. You can buy the cars for around £10k, so not that much in...

A spring and damper change would sort a Clio Cup car. I believe the phase 1 V6 road cars are supposed to be a bit lively, let alone the race car, but a spring/damper change and some fine tuning would sort that I'm sure.

I was referring more to this kind of thing, albeit it's a rather extreme example, partly exacerbated by silly Americans who don't know how to drive: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/toyota-unintended-acceleration-has-killed-89/ An engine having a fault is annoying, but s**t happens. It's not going...

I think I'd sooner have an engine recall than some of the brake/airbag/other safety related recalls that happen that we never even hear about. There's no doubting that this is a bit embarrassing for Ford, given the hype surrounding the car and the fact that the 2.3 engine is fairly well-proven...

Cars are recalled all the time and problems slip through the net all the time. While this is a more significant issues than others, no car is perfect. These are incredibly complex machines, so you will never catch every single fault. s**t happens. If they fix it under warranty, who cares? Mark...

When I was a kid, our Christmas decorations went up two weeks before Christmas. I could have begged all I wanted, it would have made f**k all difference 😂 Car looks nice.

People do seem to be getting very excited about the problem but it's a bit over the top really. The car has a problem, it will be fixed under warranty, job done. If it's only 5-10% of them, it really is being blown out of proportion. The only drag will be if some of the cars that are unaffected...

I did find myself thinking "PCP willy waving contest" I've never understood the scooter thing. When I used to go to cruises years ago, gangs of them would show up. I'd be embarrassed to be seen on one lol

As soon as he said Ace Cafe it was only going to go one way. How that place is still allowed to host car meets is beyond me.

They do look really good in anthracite, but I already have Steevs 😂 mine are black with the red rim like a Trophy though. A drop to 18s is on the cards though. Your Turinis would look amazing on my car

Welcome! Making decent power. How reliable are they with that many revs?!

Can I have your wheels yet?

Same difference lol.

I couldn't not have the FPM375. Knowing that I didn't have the fastest available factory RS would trouble me. I am very vain though lol.

Mine has Williams wheels in really dark grey and I always wondered what they would look like in silver. Looks good!

Anyone on here want to own up? Think it was silver. I really appreciated the police closing a lane and ruining rush hour traffic instead of towing it the quarter of a mile to the next junction :neutral:

The more I look at these, the more I want one!

While I'm not on Facebook, this would make me want to encourage all of my friends to post pictures of base model Puntos on their page, claiming they're Abarths. What a bunch of prats. Why on earth does it matter what it says on the logbook? It's not like it's a classic Ferrari or something. The...

This is lovely, simple and purposeful! Be interesting to see how much you value it at.

Did that just blast up the screen, or blow through the standard dash vents for the screen? I've hooked mine up so it blows through the factory ducting in the dash and onto the screen. You can hardly feel it with it on though, so worried it is going to be cack!

I like an Abarth Punto. One of those cars that I'd like to own, though not sure I will ever get the chance. Hilarious that you got rejected by the club, how ridiculous. If you've got essentially the same car for less money, good luck to you. I think these are a great looking thing.

That would look ace.

Get the body painted or wrapped, then I'd go with carbon or black front wings and a few other details. Keep it simple.

Would love to build one of these. That's a bit of a monster for the money too! Plenty of tuning potential in the engine still too. Not too keen on the shiny body work but, once you sort that, it will be ace!

Indeed.

Car looks good. Don't think much to the big "Photo" sticker in the windscreen though. Reminds me of Talladega Nights and the Fig Newtons sticker.
