Not sure how it is attached as the Abarth doesn't have top strut mounts but this is a pic I have.

Dual works in principle…for about a minute until the temp averages out in the car which neither side wants. Then it becomes battle between each side to increase the cold/heat to try and increase/decrease the overall temp! (I saw a brilliant comedy sketch about this very subject recently, I can’t remember who by)
I’ve had various cars that you can sync both sides permanently which I have done and never used them independently again so a complete waste on me. My current Alfa reverts back to dual each time you start the car and each time the passengers side dial is touched, an utter pain in the backside.
I’m sure some do find it useful and I believe some makes are a lot better than others. My wife and I usually feel the same in the car, if one of us is hot or cold we both usually are, that’s probably why I don’t see the benefit. We find it easier to control the temp by turning vents off if one of us doesn’t want so much hot or cold air.
My comp only has single zone, given my experience of Italian dual zone I thank the Lord!
Just had a cutom remap, wheel spacers and Bilstien B14 coilovers fitted too :-) Im done now... possibly some wheels but thats it
I'd count yourself lucky, all dual climate control means is that when you want to change the temperature you have to do it twice!
I've owned a few cars with dual and I've never seen the point, surely the laws of physics means it's never going to work. My other car has 3 zones for the air con, I have no clue where the 3rd zone is as I only have 2 dials. Given me signal zone any day of the week.
If you YouTube power motive abarth 500 mine is the grey one on the driveway revving up to 3500.
I do get great noise from mine and get a lot of compliments. I was about to install my Scorpion sports cat which would have been epic but have now bought a new turbo which will be installed next week so that never happened.
The Power Motive has a deep tone to it at mid revs that I haven't heard from others it also sounds great when cold. No problems getting pops and bangs even on a Euro 6.
Spotted two in the last hour, a black 500, ten plate and had a monza going around the norwich st stephens roundabout (near iceland and wilkos) a female was driving it, looked very good.
I get exactly the same using Chrome or Safari on a Mac or an iPad.
