Yeah, it's a nice colour, but I've always preferred blue over red.
I'm just pissed off about the situation with my tributo stripes and throwing ideas about really, hopefully that'll get resolved to my satisfaction soon.

[AbarthIain]

My installer has offered to refit some new stripes free of charge, I'm waiting to see if TMC offer the same with the stripe kit.  Daron has said he would speak to his supplier - Signs Express - on Tuesday, but I've heard nothing since despite phoning twice.

I love the blue and the red,as Adam has said if you want decent stripes I know he has a contact who supplies really quality stuff,I do believe that whatever you end up doing will pretty much work on this car,Abarths are not supposed to be boring and all look the same,you have your Merc for when you need to be sensible,I drive a Yeti when I'm in "normal mode",your Abarth is to have fun with,i love your ideas,it took me a while to embrace the whole crazy ethos but now I'm all in,i look forward to seeing what you decide to go with,if you need anything I'd be more than happy to help if I can👍

Just mocked it up with a red stripe rather than black and it does look pretty good...

I think I've found the right blue, 3M Satin Mystique Blue...

That looks epic😎

Just got to get it costed now, can't imagine it'll be cheap.

At least it's only half the car!
I use a guy in Camberly and I know Adam deals with this kind of thing all the time,Monsterwraps are very helpful plus you can visit them and look at swatches,if you can get a sample of the material/colour you want it would be very handy as pictures can vary due to light etc.

Thanks Chris.
Where are MonsterWraps based please?  Obviously I'm up in Cheltenham so need somewhere reasonably local to me.
I'll get in touch with Adam as well, see if he has any recommendations.

What a great LOOK
and what a coincidence,ive got a Podium Blue 180 comp and was thinking about getting the top half wrapped in grey to match the side stripe(now i get an idea what it will look like) watch this space

Monster wraps are in Southampton,call them they are very helpful,explain your situation,send them some pics and maybe they will have something they could send to you.

Finally got the rest of the chrome swapped out for the grey Competizione items.

Definitely need to lose my chrome.

Great looking car Iain

A few cosmetic updates.  Alloy engine bay bolts, and a new red dash '500' to replace the chrome one.
