Abarth 500, 595 & 695 / Re: Replacement Rear Bumper
« on: December 04, 2016, 03:16:08 PM »
yeah whats really annoying is Ive tried to get he diffuser off so i can get my hand up the back of the bumper, that wont budge even with the screws and clips undone.

Ive tried pouring boiling water on it and using a plunger to try and pull it out but still the little sucker wont come back out >.<

Ive had a cheaper quote to replace it but seems such an extreme move lol

Abarth 500, 595 & 695 / Replacement Rear Bumper

Hi,

Quick question any response(s) would be great.

My abarth's  rear bumper has a mystery "pressure dent" on it which whoever i show it too cannot determine where it has come from. The point is it want it gone therefore have taken it to a recommended autobody shop to have this looked at.

I received quote from there which totaled £730.78 (Labour £152, bumper £343.40, clips £8.58, paint £105 plus VAT £120.80), it seems a lot however cannot say because its my only quote.
Does this seem steep to you or OK?

(Before anyone recommends having it removed and put in the over to pop the dent back out again, we have it and it didn't work, hence the replacement option  :) )

Regards
James

Edit:
I have attached a pic of the area i am talking about

I am going to come to this, it will be my first time for something like this really excited :)

I will be coming a's a guest unfortunately not as part of the abarth owners club, this is down to timescales I have to be back in Leeds (Yorkshire) pretty sharpish.

Will definitely be dropping in on the club though :)

TMC Motorsport / Exhaust - Akrapovic or Ragazzon
« on: March 03, 2016, 08:58:06 PM »
Hi,

I am currently in the process of choosing a new exhaust for my 595 competizione. I've narrowed this down to two i have been talking to TMC but have been to a number of garages that supply them too and they obviously won't make the decision for me haha.

I have done this before in the past on other cars but the other cars I have had don't have the natural sound of an Abarth, I don't want to lose that sound, I want to boost it.

Akrapovic:

or

Ragazzon:

Does anyone have one of these or any thoughts? I have literally watched every YouTube video but i can see no clear winner.


Any reply would be nice :)
James
