Again I didn't see and actually wasn't interested in the price. Not my type of car >:(

,

Hi Albert it looks a lot better than the abortion abarth replicas, i like the way he has kept the side mouldings, i like it!

ok, in reality it looked less as in the pictures. We are all different! ;)

Hy,

it is no Racing and no Abarth! i think it have same from 131 Racing Gr.2 Look Pic's but Gr.2 no have
bonnet with air intake and rear spoiler. 

Enzo ;)

Well,
styles are sort of mixed on this one.
I would not buy it, but learned to respect peoples wide range of car tastes.
As the Romans used to say : "de gustibus non est disputandum"

BTW:  my latest rally shots ..from last rally this season

( Enzo: look at the wheels .. they look good indeed )

I like the silver one too. A nice mix or original sport with the Abarth touches.

This car is on Autoscout24 for ?14000. Not to my taste either.  :(

Nice car ridiculous price.

I agree completely. I too quite like the look of the silver car but the price seem far too high.

When you stood next to it you would be even more surprised. It just didn't show too well done for me.

The Grey with the flares and  body moulding looks GREAT.Not to much over the top. Good every day car.Its only worth what someone is willing to pay .Could be a wolf in sheeps clothing.Gary

that kit is same as a kit supplied by PRO-SPORT in england years ago ..

erm Kevin you liked this one?? so whats not to your taste silver??

I like the chunky roof spoiler on the black car but in all other respects I prefer the silver one.  ;D That's good because it means that Kevin and I will never get into a bidding war over a car!  ;D ;D

Nick, how did you remember that about Kevin and the black car? Do you know all the posts on this forum?  ??? There are nearly 3000 posts!  :o  ;D

Theo its part of the 131 sport disease that i have ;) ;D

Glad to see the disease is not affecting your memory! Keep taking the medication although I am told this disease is incurable; I certainly haven't found a cure for it yet...

Hell no! it stimulates the memory, no known cure, empties your wallet but its great when you get the little parts in the post like christmas!

I think its tastefully done love the wheels 8)

I quite like the look of the silver one.  Would probably look better in blue and white though.

needs a louver though

Good memeory Sid - I'll know where to come if I've forgotten about an old posting.

Actually there are more significant differences between the two cars than just colour although as you will know also, I have a huge soft sport for black 131s.

What the "creator" of this silver car has done that offends my idea of what is a tasteful modification and what isn't, is that he has attempted to "Abarthise" his car with bonnet, boot and roof spoiler changes - I think someone suggested that it is now neither one nor the other, (ie Sport or Abarth). I also dislike the colour discrepancy between the bumper/arches (it should be all silver for a cleaner look) and finally, the gold element in the wheels jar.  :(

The black car on the other hand is a simple arches and wheels mod while retaining the look of a Sport far more successfully. I've always said the simplest way to make a car look purposeful is wider wheels and tyres - This is what the black car achieves while still resembling a standard Sport - Hence a cosmetically pleasing result...to my eyes at least.  ;)
