Stu's Abarth Spider

Postby Bauer » Sun May 21, 2017 10:47 pm

Took delivery of my Abarth on Thursday night and despite poor weather in Tassie over the weekend I have put a few kms on it. Really enjoying it

Thought I would share some pics of it. It is a 2016 Launch Edition (thats means the red bits really) and the compliance plate (a Mazda plate no less) lists NF in the sequence. I was trying to tell Boyracer it was an ND SE but he just tells me it has a face only a mother could love.

Congrats!
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Well done. I reckon they look better in the flesh than in pics. Enjoy.
Never put the top up unless the storm has a name.

I think the white in the abarth is hard to beat. in the 2nd photo I think it also looks a bit like a great white in the headlight and grille dept
plus I gather by now you really enjoy that note emitted from the $2500 quad exhaust system. :wink:
nice car I actually went close to buying one myself a few months ago. I would have blacked out the bonnet :lol: but I get bored easily :wink:

I reckon the ND's rear lights look more Alfa-Romeo/Fiat that those ordinary ones - no flair whatsoever.

Haha no I haven't touched the exhaust. I'm quite liking the standard version and won't be buying the record monza. A bit too rich for me. Nice sound though
