Waiting for my new baby!!

[Ravello]

Hi just waiting for my new Abarth 595 to arrive, went just to 'have a look' & ended up the proud owner of one of these beauties, can't wait! Any tips on essential kit I should have ready?

I'm new too my friend. When does yours arrive?

I think I'll be investing in a Forge kit and a remap, lowering springs and spacers before long

It's sitting somewhere in bubble wrap & I'm hoping I'll have it within a couple of weeks.  Was going to order one from the factory & wait 4 months, goodness knows how I could wait that long, I've driven everyone bonkers over the week since I ordered it!
I fell in love with original in Italy & I'm married to an Italian too.
When's your's due? Is it your first?

Thanks Ads, been reading up on what people do to their Abarths - it looks like it can be quite addictive!  I think I'll drive it a while before deciding what I'd like to add.

One thing I'd like to ask you experts is the best care for the hood (it's a cabriolet). The dealer is adding some 'protector' but I'm worried about a sycamore tree & local cats leaving their mark.  Can you recommend a good hood cover?

Collecting my new 180 Comp tomorrow. No sleep tonight!

See, its like Christmas, 18th Birthday and losing your cherry all in one...... well, for me it was anyway. Hope you chaps enjoy this mad puppy as much as the rest of us. It really does become part of the family. I may have to buy the wife one just to get her to leave mine on the drive.

Finally collected her yesterday (in the rain). Had a great run out to Harlow, great fun! All I need now is some sunshine so I can put the top down without my ears turning blue!
