Would like to introduce you to my 126 bought today.
« on: March 23, 2013, 08:56:11 PM »
She has covered 14k miles. I'm the second owner.
Cosmetically sound but needs a couple of minor things which i will report on later, tear to seat repair, new choke cable and some work on the engine so she starts..... as she's been standing for 4 weeks.

No mate, they are plastic caps..... The seller also threw in a brand new set of Fiat caps which I'm gonna put on tomorrow I think but I do want black gloss alloys for it - maybe I should put a post up in the Wanted section !?!

Ah she is finally home!

Something like these would look awesome;

I think they will fit, but double check with Marc.

On the wheels, they will have the same stud pattern and centre bore. The 185 tyres are definitely too big. I am not sure as to the wheel width on these. The offset is different, but may be ok. These are the fitment  stats I am still trying to figure out.
