Hi All,

Due to other commitments I am having to let my 500C go. I am giving this a month and then I will chop it in against something bigger so this will be a short term ad. Many of you will know this car and that amount of work performed on it.

Details: MOT till 31 March 2018
Around 38k on the clock
Brembo Max Rotors front and rear, new greenstuff pads front and rear
Braided brake hoses
MM Bombardone
Custom 10 spoke Abarth 17" wheels in excellent condition
Set of winter steelies (Could do with a refurb but tyres are one winter old so plenty of depth)
Heko Wind Deflectors
GTT Induction System
170 BHP remap
Koni FSD All round
Eibach Sports springs
MTA Gearbox

Looking for £7650 with a few odds and sods thrown in inc 2 DIN head unit kit (no head unit)
Center arm rest
Full set of winter wheels and tyres.

Location currently in near Mansfield but will be coming back home to East Yorkshire in a couple of weeks.

Hi All,

I am going through a transition currently and considering selling Dorrie  to fund my next vehicle (not 100% what I am going for but the 124 is looking interesting now they are coming down to a more sensible price). Now, anyone that knows the car is aware that I have put a fair amount of effort to keep her as fun, safe and reliable as possible.  I refuse to sell her in on a PX since they would give me far below what she is worth in love and investment. However, for someone that wants a quick reliable 500c with plenty of lovely stuff added she would fit the bill nicely.

So, I am looking for what the car would be worth to someone that wants a project that has got solid underpinnings and is ready for the next stages.

The Skinny:

2011 Abarth 500 Cabriolet
Full leather interior
MTA gearbox
38K (just had its 36K service and a general check through for anything that needs tightening, replacing etc)
Main dealer history (apart from one stamp from the previous sales place)
MOT until March 2018

Mods:

Brembo disks front and rear - Fitted March 2017
Greenstuff pads front and rear  - Fitted March 2017
Braided brake hoses front and rear
Koni suspension front and rear
Eibach Sport Pro springs
Custom refurbished ten spokes in chrome red/copper finish
GTT Induction kit with BOV
MM Bombardone
Remapped  by A1 in Hull to around 170HP and 265ft/lbs

So, if I can't get a sensible price above book I will strip all the parts I have fitted and return her to stock, that would be a shame but thought I would out it out here first.

So please guys, any idea what I shoudl be asking.

Hi All,

Just got my remap so I am shifting my Bluespark box. Its been on the car for about two months and is in spot on condition. Comes with the original box, cloth bag and the bypass loop.  Its been great and it certainly adds a fair amount of fizz to the car and brings it up to what it should have been from factory. I dynoed it at 172 with the GTT induction kit and a few mods, not bad investment I think

Also in the package I am throwing in a still sealed BMC performance filter for the standard airbox

£125  £110 shipped in the UK

"Hi All,

Fresh of the refurbishers spinny things are four rather splendid 595 comp 17's reupholstered in high gloss black and red. They have been diamond cut and a set of zero neros on them all with at least 5mm of rubber. Collection preferred from near Hull.  Also will come with a set of red/black/chrome centre caps

Price £650, not negotiable so please don't try otherwise I will hold onto them for winter rims. The refurb alone cost me £450. Look ace on a black/red A500"

Saw a big shiny thing up in the sky, somewhere over the Costa del Bridlington. I can only assume it was an alien abduction waiting happen but apparently its called "The Sun". Watched it for a few hours and took some photos and passed them on to the correct authorities. Oddly, it was like a wave of love spread across the crowd, well, both of us. Probably some alien pacifier ray thing.

Watch the skies...... "The Sun" is coming (not the wholly owned subsidiary of Rupert Morlock empire of filth version apparently)

Hi All,

Anyone know how to adjust how the bonnet site. I have some irritating gaps on the passenger side. I have tried the screw in adjusters but these don't make much difference to the side but are fine on the front. Anyone got any bodyshop experience that might help?

Hi All,

Came out to take Dorrie to work today to find some miscreant had thoughtfully peeled most of the back quarter of my black wrap and left it hanging. Despite there being no logical reason for doing so I can only assume they wanted to see what colour pants she had one or something. So, currently back to all grey but having to keep the bonnet in black since she is primer underneath. I can see why we are not allowed to have guns any more. So, time for a claybar cleanse at the weekend and make her the same shiny all over. Unimpressed by losing a £500 wrap but can't change it so as a wise man said, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade... oh, and go on a killing spree where the scrotes congregate

On the upside it may have slightly improved my fuel economy.
