Hi Nick

Yes that is pretty bad - This has been posted here already by an American contributor. Not a good picture for Fiat - It's gone just about everywhere!  :o

I lost count how many times in the 80's I saw complete cars on driveways in that condition with only the glass and stainless trims holding them together  ;D

And still the owner believed it only needed a bit of a polish to get it through the MOT :D
