Re: I like the way this looks
Oh yeah, that's an aggressive looking car. I would love to do this to one of my Spiders.

Re: I like the way this looks
I, for one, have never liked the Abarth 4 headlight look. broke up a beautiful clean hood line. Much prefer the "mustang" in the grill 4 lite look.

Re: I like the way this looks
Man those look nice. If each of the headlamps on that that top one only uses 55W bulbs, the lights alone draw about 36+ amps. Wonder if it has the alternator upgrade? <{:^)

One more.
Personally, i dont like the pics of those other cars. To busy for me. I never really liked this hood set up till I saw this car. It just looks right.

All racecars have busy paint jobs on them. The burgandy one has the same wheels as my racecar.

Re: I like the way this looks
Is this the car that's currently on Craigslist in the Bay Area? In the ad it proudly explains how none of the car's Abarth "upgrades" are under the hood, or are at all mechanical in nature. Still, it's a cool looking car.
I think that the venerable Spider body begs for a single seat "Monoposto" configuration. As soon as my fabrication skills multiply by 4 or 5 times, I'll get right on it.
