Abarth 595 competizione

[Stefan.]

These are epic little cars!!

Bloody quick too for what they are

 

[Lal B3N]

Gave it a quick clean and took it for some photos. Splitter is currently in the bodyshop being painted the same oem grey off a friends Nissan GTR splitter so hopefully that looks good. Will be getting Cquartz protection at the end of the month along with a few other bits and pieces sorted out.

Quite smart looking in the blue, looks a lot more tasteful than the old one.

Being a total 500 Abarth noob, what's the difference between a normal one and a 595? And a Competizione?

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great!

595 has more power and the competizione has monza exhaust and a different gear knob. Well at least my Mrs' did!

 

[Conor Dale]

Are the DRL's still crappy halogen ones from standard or have they uprated them?

As of a short while ago they are now all called Abarth 595s. So you get a 595 custom which is the lower of the range, then a 595 Turismo which is like a custom but with leather as standard and a ecu map to 160bhp. And then the 595 180 Comp which is different wheels, 4 pot Brembos with 305mm 2 piece discs, garret turbo, engine compression ratio is different, 180bhp, Monza exhaust with a valve in, Sabelt bucket seats, Xenon headlights, dual zone climate then an accessory pack which is different mats, parcel shelf, gear knob, sill trims, metal oil cap and fuel cap.

They do. We changed both of ours to the PIAA ones.

Facelift should have the led ones like the current standard 2016 fiat 500 range.

 

[Inequality Street]

My boss has ordered one of these, collection March 1st! Looking forward to being taken out in it

There's also now a yamaha edition just to make it more confusing.

 

[daydotz]

Don't forget the trofeo edition[emoji1]

 

[Hixle]

Proper! Love that, never got on with mine but would love a go in one with a bit more power.

Is it true these have no reach adjust for the steering wheel (odd question, I know)?

Love these. The rear lights are horrendous on them though. Too lexus for my liking.

Just managed to get the rear face lift lights from the new Fiat 500 from a dealership for free thanks to a big mess up from them as compensation. Can run without the plastic colour coded centres if you want or we can paint them body colour.

 

[Lal B3N]

Decided to be a yobbo in the unit last night.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

It doesn't sound like a 1400cc i'll say that much!

 

[Ollie1]

Is that just the standard monza?! Mine sounds f**k all like that! Sounds good mate

It is yeah, the newer stainless one. I've just jammed the exhaust valve open.

 

[Pint]

The want is strong.

Ohh might have to do that to mine!

 

[Philip.]

That sounds soooo good!

 

[Martin_172]

[koi]

Do the Sabelts sit lower?

Which PIAA bulbs did you get for the DRL?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Jesus Christ that sounds good

Are the new ones led were they expensive?

Any pics?

I was wondering if they fitted so it's possible to remove them for the old ones [emoji1]

 

[Scrooge]

That is what the fiestas are missing, mine sounds soooo s**t!

 

[Lal B3N]

Car pro essence going to work.

Write up to follow.

 

[Lal B3N]

[PP200t]

[VR46-G@Z]

I love these little cars! Seriously cool, both look great, prefer the new one being a bloke, its lovely colour blue!!

 

[josh11490]

For the 2 back lights and 2 plastic inserts you are talking around £230 all in.

They dont plug in to the oem loom though, old ones are 5 pin, new ones are 4 pin. A company is currently making adapters so no chopping is required.

Sounds like a fath looking at your pic does the facelift have bumper mounted fogs or are they just reflectors?

They do a bit yeah but not enough for taller people. Not an issue for me or the mrs lol. TMC do sell brackets to lower them though.

These are the PIAA bulbs.
