Abso-darned-lutey, I put the stock silver rims and tyres on CHeWie for my (later, ill-fated) trip to Italy. Snow chains were a must and wouldn't fit the 195/45/16s on the O.Z. Ultraleggeras, anyway. I had 180 Euros worth of wine nicked from the apartment's underground garage, too! :shocked: [-(

I'm going to show my old GT2 as it had to be one of the first abarth kitted GT's in the uk (it was only a year old when fitted) and i love midnight blue :)

I didn't have the rear bumper fitted as i had a novitec rear centre exhaust and they're not "official 5-spoke rims" they are 16" TSW Stealths with 215 tyres :shock: unheard of in todays punto world, **** loads of grip round corners mind :dance: had to have the arches cut.Quote:

Ah, I see my mistake about the rims. My apologies. Yours are slightly concave etc. compared to the "official" ones:

So, you've diggergt's Rialto Blue one? A lovely looking example.
Yeah very happy.I've done some stuff to it already, replaced the tank as i could smell petrol, it's had a complete underseal treatment by these guys http://www.rustmaster.co.uk/ and i've replaced the rad and intercooler (pace smic) and a full service :) got to fit my eibach springs and bilstein shocks as 60mm is to low for me.Quote:

Luckily in the UK our weather has to be extreme to say the least to leave us needing anything but an all year tyre.
My F1 Asymetrics are brill in the dry, but insanely good in the wet and just a laugh in the snow lol.
