Bux_48 ◊ 2022-06-10 12:14	1985+ 3a serie 'abarthized' but 5 doors
Baube ◊ 2022-06-10 12:20	" Abarthization " looks not bad at all...
Bux_48 ◊ 2022-06-10 12:46	Indeed, usually I'm not really a fan of customizations on older cars but I like this one, and even 90s alloys look good on it
Bux_48 ◊ 2022-06-10 13:21	Now I notice that it has 1983-85 round door handles, so it's not only customized but also updated with 1985+ rear panel/bumper.
Baube ◊ 2022-06-10 17:52	or maybe a 1985 ?

Also the scene in which is falling into the water looks fake..at least that's what I hope.. -- Last edit: 2022-06-11 00:50:02
Bux_48 ◊ 2023-04-01 00:20	@Baube, since here we have a tasteful "abarthized" Ritmo, I happened to find a picture from an 80s catalogue of an italian tuning company (Lester) of a body kit for Ritmo I, with Golf I rear lights I can't find the right smiley to describe it.. Another typically 80s kit is seen in this article on a Cabrio: https://www.quotidianomotori.com/automobili/bubble-car-corsico-tuning-anni-80/

( our main Abarthized one still looks better by a mile.. even two,three.. ) ouch, looks like the only good thing that came out from Bubble Car is those wheels .. ( i think they could look nice on mk2 Golf/Jetta .. ) -- Last edit: 2023-04-01 04:46:01
Bux_48 ◊ 2023-04-01 12:46	Yes, I was looking for the puking smiley I have to admit that I quite like those wheels too..but the Bubble Car Lancia Delta is terrible, how to ruin a great design.. From the same company of the Ritmo I posted yesterday ..and, just to close the 80s tuning OT, a not bad (IMHO) Fiat Uno Personal with body kit styled by Giugiaro:
Baube ◊ 2023-04-01 13:00	looks like they have a square headlight fixation.. at least they resisted the temptation to slap 4 of them on the 911.. i don't know how the original Uno should look like but the front of this one makes me think more of a facelifted Renault 5 than a Fiat.. i wonder how many owners paid Bubble Car probably thousands to disfigure their cars..
AleX_DJ ◊ 2023-04-01 13:04	Were those kits successful? First time I see something like this
Bux_48 ◊ 2023-04-01 13:10	I believe the square headlights were an 80s trend anyway, I'm younger but I don't think I ever saw any car with these kind of kits (btw the 5-Series is from Lester, another tuning company), and I must say I don't regret it I believe mainly in the 80s/early 90s you could meet them.. PS: @AleX_DJ, have you solved your issue with the forum access? I sent a PM to you some time ago

I apologize for this, I hope it was nothing urgent! @antp: what can I do for this? It always tells me 'Login or password incorrect, unable to login', although I tried several times to reset my password
Bux_48 ◊ 2023-04-02 18:20	No, don't worry I had the same problem as you some time ago, antp gave me a new password
