Our Fiat 500 Abarth SS

[Inequality Street]

The other half picked this up on Friday. It's a fantastic little car!

Silly quick for what it is, stops really well on the Brembo's and the Monza exhaust is a very nice deep tone.

Lots of fun.

Yes mate, Swift is gone and couldn't be more pleased with the replacement!

Nice purchase mate

When we got the swift was between a 595 comp and a Swift good choice!
Missus didn't want us to pay 20k for a 500

 

[Matt W]

Awesome!

 

[Slammed172]

Love them.
Hate that scorpion though.

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Love these! Best Alloy's for them i reckon.

 

[Gus]

Absolutely love that car.

 

[Martin_172]

lovely apart from that sticker on the bonnet!

 

[Inequality Street]

The sticker was a £60 option when new y'know! 😂

Suppose that's a bit like the stripes on my RB, a bit marmite.

Cambelt is due every 4 years so as long as that's done along with a water pump should be fine.

I loved mine but couldn't get on with it ergonomically.

New bright white DRLS and clean plates and it'll look just right.

Considering esseesse alloys for mine, is there much distance between the Brembo calipers and the spokes?

Can't say I have ever looked, I'll check tonight when my other halfs home. The alloys/Brembo's make the car IMO.

Cambelt and Waterpump were done by Fiat/Abarth before collection, along with new tyres throughout and a service. Comes with a years warranty and life time free MOT's too.

Brighter DRLs, Clean plates and Silvervisions are first on the list to do.

Love the wheels! Are the Brembos standard on the esseesse?

Yes mate, I believe you get more power, alloys, Brembo's and drilled discs. This is also spec'd with a Monza exhaust too.

 

[Matthew]

Ace! Love it.

The indicator bulbs at the front are wedge shaped, I made the mistake and ordered 2 sets of normal bulbs.

Thats interesting to know!

Also, there is a decent amount of space between the alloys and brembo's, no where near catching.

Oh something else worth noting, the Brembo SS wheels are made of chocolate. If anyone's considering getting them - I personally wouldn't. OZ ultralegerras would be my choice.

The SS also came with lowered suspension and the most horrific bump stops in the rear suspension. (Especially early model SS's) fiat coupe bump stops are half the size and allow more travel in the rear. Along with bright white DRL's, it was the best modification I did to mine.

SS's came with power upgrade, BMC lifetime air filter, drilled discs with Brembo HP1000 pads, lowered suspension and Brembo Multispokes.

Common options were; Monza Exhaust, Climate control, aluminium gear knob/pedal/fuel filler cap set, Sabelt racing seats, Xenon headlights and Pano roof.. Not to mention all the stickers
