1997 Mirafiori Sport

[Thotos]

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"!!!

Blimey - Let's ask his computer to source a few of these cars before everyone else gets to hear of this wonderful news!

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.

Hi olsen thanks but the shipping would be absolutely crazy!

Theo when you say still avaliable do you mean by Fiat? have you any contacts or numbers part number even, thanks Nick.

I don't think Fiat UK will have them but I am fairly sure Pilkington will have the screens (www.pilkington.com). Also Yagmur has 131 screens with the top tint.

Thanks Theo i know Yagmur has them but the shipping is ?450, i will check out that website.

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.

Hi Chris will do just need a new screen i will be getting all the windows tinted By Pentagon in Lisburn & they can do a top tint, they did the celica windows top class & not the cowboy s**t that you see on some yokes.

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.
