Claims this one has 180bhp, also both seem to have matt black exhausts.

I am liking how low this one is. First one I've liked with no stripes or anything. Found on an Abarth 500 facebook group!!!

I like the lowered white one, always nice to a set of wheels fill the arches.

Ooooooh yes liking those  :thumb: Not a fan of big gaps between tyre and wheel arch. The standard setup on the A500 looks fine at the front but the back could do with a subtle 1 - 1.5 " drop.

Why a BIG no for the SS wheels? they wouldn't look too bad as the 17" 10 spoke diamonds on the third one look spot on.

because the 18's look rediculas on it thats why lol  :thumbd: they look FARRRRRR too big for it.

the lowered abarth looks brillient though :) - dont think the wheels should be any bigger than 17's on the A500 . as for the AGP no bigger than 18's as they just begin to look silly

... i'm actually rather liking the matt black one, and agree that the 500 could do with lowering at the back. Eibach sportline could do the job to maintain the nose-down stance  ;)

The black one has a "stealth" look to it in that matt paint...   :thumb: :thumbd:  nope, can't make up my mind if I like it or not  ;D

Ahhhh you mean the SS style ones on the matt black and white ones at the top, they don't look to bad but would prefer the actual 17" SS wheels, they look chunkier, a few  too many spokes on those.

It's a bit sad but aesthetically I don't like big wheels that you can see small brake discs through as they look a bit puny.   :) The 284mm discs on the white SS  look OK at the front but the 240mm at the rear (third pic up from the bottom)with 18's don't look so good.

The matt black one is awesome... seen a few 'matt' cars at tuning shows in Germany... even a matt metallic red Cayenne... amazing! :thumb: :thumb:

matt metallic red...matt and metallic paints are totally different are they not?

The white one that is lowered looks amazing, I don't know if it's because of the "clean" look, which is worrying as I love all the stripes and this has put me off them. Maybe that with the checkered roof.

I think I remember saying to euroboy (?) that his black one looked a bit high up. Lowering does look amazing!

EDIT: Alex, do you have more pictures and a link to the group so I can contact the owner for more hopefully hi res pics :P. Thanks.
