Very simple, email Fiat and let them know how disappointed you are that the 500 has the Abarth emblem and not the Spider, Europe and Australia has it(I think)I know there is no current solution....but just in case someone has any ideas....how can we swap this Fiat emblem ?
In Aus we get the Abarth steering wheel badge, engine cover, fender badges and Abarth on the seats. It has to be a "branding" decision for North America.Very simple, email Fiat and let them know how disappointed you are that the 500 has the Abarth emblem and not the Spider, Europe and Australia has it(I think)
When they get lots of dissatisfied email maybe they can send us one for free.
my seats don't have the Abarth written on it.
You can always do your own badging on the cubby lid, easily removable with a heat gun if you want to experiment. I'm trying out this little guy (the EU's embroidered logo seats and huge heritage plaque are a bit overdone for me)....my seats don't have the Abarth written on it.
This is the airbag page on the Abarth catalogue.ew production, we will not get it as the whole airbag needs to be changed....I do not believe you can get only a cover change (still researching on this).
I maybe crazy, but not that crazy to spent all that money to get the whole airbag thing so the Emblem is Abarth, I think if they have an aluminum Abarth sticker like the other poster has done, I would go that way.I did complain and the customer service of FCA called to say sorry we have no solution :-(. which means they are taking all NA Abarth fans for suckers !
Even if they change it in the new production, we will not get it as the whole airbag needs to be changed....I do not believe you can get only a cover change (still researching on this).
I hope to be able to buy a full unit from Europe or other country......if anyone willing to point me to a dealer in Europe or worldwide that would sell me the airbag with the proper emblem....let me now.
Relayer, did you remove the old fiat badge...or did you stick it on top ? can you take close up pics please. Also the ebay lync would help. Thanks

I call bollox. The airbag is exactly the same part, just with a different badge on the cover.It's a US airbag deal my dealer said.
