Title: 1997 Mirafiori Sport
Post by: Thotos on April 13, 2009, 02:30:32 PM
Did you guys know that the Fiat Mirafiori Sport was not officially imported to the UK until manufacture of the car re-started in 1997?? ???? :-\ That's what the man from the windscreen place claimed when I called to ask for a chip repair (got a nasty windscreen chip on the M25 yesterday? >:( ). The windscreen man insisted that my car is an import because "that model of car was not officially sold in the UK until manufacture restarted in 1997" he claimed? ??? :-\? I tried to correct him but he got very upset and insisted he was right and I was wrong "because his computer told him so"!!!

No,  because my car is an import!!

I am fairly sure that windscreens for Sports are still available with the top tint but in my case I  only want a chip repair.

I don't think Fiat UK will have them but I am fairly sure Pilkington will have the screens (www.pilkington.com (http://www.pilkington.com/europe/uk+and+ireland/english/default.htm)). Also Yagmur has 131 screens with the top tint.

Hi nick, As far as I'm aware you can get a new 131 windscreen but not with the tint the same as the sport. I tried to get a new one about a year ago and had no joy. If you can get one let me know as I would be interested in a new one aswell.

I enquired about a new screen ( non tinted ) from Old School Windscreens a couple of years ago. Here's the reply they sent..

"Hi Mick  Good news yes your fiat screen is available from stock @?105.90 +vat. Irecommend collection from us as we have had problems with carriers in thepast . however if this is not possible we would be happy to quote carriage.A 30% deposit is required to reserve your screen balance on collection .orfull payment prior to despatch . Regards  R L mienes [ROB]".

The numbers  01932 873 506, they are, or where, based in Chertsey, Surrey, UK.

Hope this helps

Mick.

Try a windscreen place near to you. Then you can save on carriage. I got a new one for my 131 (was a few years ago now) was about ?50 +VAT at the time.
