I'm just coming up to the end of my PCP agreement and I am intending to pay the balloon amount and keep the car.  Two things will determine whether I go ahead:-

1.  The market value of the car compared to the amount I need to pay (obviously!); and

2.  A concern about emissions now and in the future.  This is one of the main reasons why Fiat ceased production of the 124 Spider, and I must say with the Monza exhaust, it is fairly smelly.  Has anyone had an MOT failure so far on this question?  With emission standards inevitably tightening over the next few years will the car be forced off the road eventually, or need significant alterations to remain legal here in UK.

Just received an email advising me that Startin of Redditch will no longer be Fiat or Abarth dealers with effect from 1 April 2019.  Looks like I'll have to go to Johnsons at Solihull or further afield for service etc.

Just noticed that the reversing sensors operate at different distances.  The two on the direct rear at 1.5 metres and the two corner rear at 0.5 metres.  This means if you are reversing and turning at the same time (e.g. reversing out of a car park slot) you will only have 0.5 metres when the warning starts if there is an obstruction.

Has anyone fitted these to their 124 Spider?  I can see they are going to get quite marked after time and it would be nice to cover the target area, preferably with an Abarth logo.  Where can I get a couple?
