Sits low, looks like aftermarket springs or the stockers were cut. Have fun.

It does look lowered. With that compact a ride, it would look even better with the bumpers pulled, or even just tucked in closer to the body. Nice car!
And welcome.

Yeah car has aftermarket springs. It rides pretty nice, needs shocks, im looking for oem type oil shocks.

Will be fixing an exhaust leak this week, gonna delete the cat and middle muffler. Stay tuned for more pics!

That's looks really good. I'm not a huge fan of stock wheels, but the black/white combo with the lowered stance looks nice!

find some crome beauty rings

Things I would consider with that car (just my taste, but so FWIW...):

1. Flat black vinyl wrap on hood and trunk: Abarth look, keeping the black/white theme going. Plus, with vinyl, it's reversible.
2. Pulling those bumpers off. That car is screaming for it.

Great work!
