I'm new to the Fiat Spider world and I'm pretty excited about it. Been an owner for about six months and love it. I hope to engage with many other Spider lovers here on this forum. As my first post, I'd like to begin with a seemingly trivial question. Does my 1981 Fiat Spider have the correct hood emblem?

The scorpion is typically associated with the Abarth variant, which I know I do not have. Also, my Spider doesn't have a trunk emblem, which I'm sure it is supposed to have. Thanks in advance for your help and insight!

Re: Hood Emblem
That's not the stock emblem. A previous owner must have replaced the stock emblem.
Stock it is red with simply the word Fiat across it. There should be identical ones in the front and back.

Re: Hood Emblem
This emblem is an aftermarket one sold by our moderator at Allison Automotive. I ordered them because my originals were faded and i think that they look sharp and wanted to try something different. At the end of the day it's a matter of choice, if you want to revert to what was original then the red ones with the silver lining are available as well.

Re: Hood Emblem
besides the Abarth emblem I also have red or blue hood/deck emblems with FIAT lettering on them
