I like the look of that rack, nice! Does it create any additional wind noise? What is the rated load capacity?

Paul
Hey, wind noise no, but it might do if i ever put anything on it!

I have no idea what the capacity is I'm afraid. It's the standard fiat one, so I'm sure your local dealer will know. Not!

10kilos according to the Fiat publicity materials.

Love the wheels - winter tyres means no excuses for not using it - says the man who has never driven mine in the dark and in the rain only once! Must do better next year.

Great Choice! I almost went with that, but instead used...

Wheels: OZ Superturismo 17X7.5 4X100 42mm offset (19.4 lbs.) - heavier but wider with 215/45R-17 S-04 Pole Position XL rubber.
Suspension: Cusco Competition Zero 3r kit

inspired to order another

Just back from 1st service.
Joe90 - was yours one of the special editions at UK launch? I tried to replicate the European(?) release of the 'Not for America edition'
I think the UK versions of the same car were in Red only.
Anyways just order my Bronze Lusso plus with rack and heritage wheels.
The rack split opinions in the office, but the article in Autocar last November swayed me.

The journalist thought the rack superfluous to needs, but a great item to add for looks. I notice he didn't mention rack noise once in the article - which one has to presume means there wasn't any? Hope so anyway!

One minor regret - cannot get a bronze/gold coloured Fiat 124 badge in front grill. Fiat only do red.


Does anyone know how many UK cars have been registered in each colour. I love Bronze. Seems not to be many around?

Love the retro inspired CD30 style wheels! If my car had those I don't think I would have changed them out.
