Hola fella, a warm welcome here and hope you enjoy your time reading and posting here.

I echo Cliff's comments; there is an awful lot you can do to it least not, the eyelashes. I'll leave it to Cliff to confirm or deny this. There is a number of Abarthisti who have done a raft of modifications to their own cars.

Pictures! Also whereabouts you? Keep an eye on the meets section as meets are always organised from time to time.

Tmc box
Sports cat + full exhaust system with a 2.5 inch bore
Tmc induction kit
And maybe upgrade the turbo actuator aswell

This may see you some where near 175-180 bhp i believe . Or just have the gtt stage 1 put on and then it will really shift but I think it is £1400 for this
