Default Anyone here work for Fiat?

All right all.

I was wondering if there are any .ORGers in the employ of Fiat? I need a few unusual parts and they're proving tricky to get hold of ... I have part numbers for them all.

Also, a discounted price would be handy!

Cheers

Very good.

Scrappy won't have what I'm after, the part's too rare. There aren't many 'Mr Fusion' powered time travelling Cinquecentos around, you know.

Thanks for the constructive replies, people... All very good.

When a car's forty quid, you don't worry about the badge.

Sadly I don't - had similar problems when I owned my beautiful Fiat Barchetta (the best car I have ever owned - pic here http://www.privateletting.com/barchetta/IMG_1697.jpg ). Got driven into whilst parked and it took 6 months (!!) to source a front bumper from Italy. I know what you are feeling.

Try calling DTR Sports in Morden. They deal in Fiat Barchettas, but also do Fiat 500s etc, and probably know a source of all parts fiat if you are really struggling

Thanks for the tip mate... If I get really stuck I might give them a try - I'm just having the usual Fiat dealer incompetence to deal with at the mo.
