Abarth 595 Competizione as a daily?

[cooky73]

Anyone got any tips on the cheapest place to get a black driver's door handle for a 2015 Competizione?

Silver ones are around £20 - best I can do for a black one is £100!

[Roboticarm]

Get 2 silver ones, mine came like that. Saves you £20

Just to chip in, I am waiting on delivery of my 595 Comp in red, has the Brembo pack and that's it, rather looking forward to the anti-waft aspects of it. Been a while since I have been in anything other than a barge.

Lucky you! They are a very refreshing change from most modern cars. Loved mine, and would love another.

I swapped my Jaguar XE for a red Competizione and I’ve loved every minute of driving since!

Welcome to the Red Comp club. Worth noting the Brembos come as standard so not really a pack as it were.

Enjoy, they are great fun!

Very nice, wanted a Biposto but couldn't justify it sadly

The Brembo pack seems to be £325 on the configure-ma-Bob thing or have I been swindled? I wanted the black calipers......

The £325 is for the caliper colour isn’t it? Default is red on a red comp.

Ah ok, well then the Brembo pack contains:

Abarth side stripe, bumper inserts & door mirrors: Black
Brembo Brake Calipers: Black

If you weren't fussed about the stripes then you can just have black calipers for £175

Mine had the performance pack so I wasn't aware they did a pack for the calipers as I was happy with red behind the black supersports. I also can't believe the charge for the stripes, sure mine were included but they do like to dick around with the specs regularly. I had to pay for the 7" Nav with carplay which is now standard, others had Xenons as standard, another option I had to pay for when I ordered mine which it looks like you still do.

This years silliness continues:

Some wrapping today:

[geeks]

Nice roof wrap

[pidsy]

It’s all just a giggle to be honest.

Side strips being re done to match next week.

[geeks]

Had a quote to do mine in matt black, will get around to it eventually

[Aaran13]

Pidsy - Have you got a link for that wrap? I’ve been looking to get some but it’s a minefield and that looks great. Cheers

It’s 3M 1080 CF201 Anthracite carbon.

You can get it on amazon or other 3M stockists.

Perfect - thanks very much

No problem.
Side stripes should be going on tomorrow.
