Side stripe replacement help.
« on: May 05, 2021, 10:17:01 AM »
Hi.

I want to replace my red stripe on the side and change it to the yellow one. I'm in Staffs, does anyone know how much these are and where I can go to get it done please?

I just dont trust myself with this job because it's too visible for all to see if I mess it up.

PS I'm taking the opportunity to do this whilst all 4 of my callipers are being re-manufactured at Big Red, and I'll have them finished in the yellow powder coat, so perfecrt timing really.

Thanks in advance.

I've seen stripe kits on ebay, but like you, I wouldn't want to do it myself.

You could try a local sign company that do graphics for vans etc

As a shot in the dark, what about trying an Abarth dealer? A lot of the stripes are fitted at the dealer, probably contracted out, but see what they say

Thanks Richard.

I just bought these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B084ZVNB79/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'll look around and see if I can find someone to remove the old red ones and pop these yellow ones on for me.

Thanks again.

Just an FYI. After replacing all 4 disks and having the callipers re-manufactured and finished in powder coated yellow, I then decided to get the 4 wheels re-done too, again powder coated. Then the stripe was removed and replaced with the yellow one ordered.
I went from the dull red to the bright yellow. It looks great and has had lots of comments so far.
