Hi guys i currently own a standard fiat 500 abarth and have owned it for 2 years after regrettably not being able to repair my previous fiat (which was a fiat tipo 2ltr 16v turbo ;D) I absolutley love my abarth as its a great little pocket rocket.

 I plan to soon start modifying it nothing chavvy jst new wheels, lowered suspension exhaust and a few small engine mods as now you can achieve the same if not more power as the esseesse cheaper.

Have a look at the TMC website and quick search 'round here. There are few options available. Bilstein, avo, koni or just lowering springs.  :wave:
