Go with this wind deflector............even with shipping to States massively cheaper I would hazard to guess. Looks great and same dimensions as OEM.

Auto Ricambi has a ton of items that work great on our Spiders. Go here and check it out. The stainless exhaust is the best option as well, great price and great sound.

There’s an old thread on this, I think it was the reverse though, about useless mods. You ought to check that out, just for laughs. Sometimes good ideas, well, they just aren’t!
Best regards

That was a great thread, but I keep losing it. Could it be stickied?

Congratulation, First I would increase your Credit Card Allowed Credit, cause the sky is the limit. LOL
So do you want add cosmetic and beatify the exterior or give move PSAZZ to your engine.
Exteriour - Side markers that blink and a good cutback muffler that will notify others you re coming, while the existing cutback people will notice only when you passed them.
Interiour- add the Car Play or Android Auto for GPS another must cost you less then update your maps
Engine- This will ruin your wallet. LOL but if your not in a hurry, you can get following items from other members and cheaper price.
Go to EUROCOMPULSION - Performance Parts & ECU Tuning you will have a good idea what s available
Gofastbits or FORGE ATMOSPHERIC BLOW OFF VALVE (1.4L MULTIAIR TURBO) this will give the WHOSHHHHHH
PTP TURBO BLANKET (FIAT 124 SPIDER/ABARTH)
Trumpets will sound like a real Italian,
V4 or V2 air intake,
If you want to add more power you can get ECU tuning, then you add the alfa 4c coil pack, adjust the spark plugs gap to .23 and so on.

Best thing is to ask, before adding the big stuff.

Per your request,

First, Congratulations on your new-to-you acquisition and Welcome to the forum!

Second, take a few, sit back and enjoy the moment, bask in the delights of now being one of the select enlightened few who owns and gets to drive, whenever they want, a 124 Spider.

Third, are you now comfortably knowledgeable in exactly what if any mods might now exist or have been made to your Abarth? Before considering any new mods or add-ons I might suggest you become thoroughly acquainted with any existing mods. Then, with reference to the 'Second' above, spend some time driving your new Abarth as this will help you determine down the road what may or may not be useful to you in the way of future modifications/add-ons/changes.

Fourth, keep a close eye on these forum pages and pretty much all will be revealed in time with regards to what is and is not useful and what may just be eye candy but helps to personalize and make your car 'yours'.

Fifth, your original question is kind of a general one which opens itself up to answers from all across the board. On the other hand, if you have a question or questions about a specific modification or add-on or maintenance or whatever - ask away - you will find the members of this forum to be experienced, knowledgeable and more than willing to share.

Now ......... where are the photos of this new-to-you Abarth?

Thank you for all that! Here are some pics.

 

[Nordamericano]

Great photos!
It appears you did quite well.
It also appears the 'the grin', which is inevitable when owning one of these cars, has now become a part of you.
Also, that's a fine looking hat atop your noggin.

Congrats!
im rather heavy into modding mine, so depending on what all you like there is plenty of things that can be done, cosmetic or otherwise.

i have gone though mine and replaced all lighting with LED’s, added footwell and trunk lighting, did some custom door sills, dead pedal, and name plate, shift knob, floor mats, yadda yadda.
Performance wise im rather happy with the current setup that is still easily un-do-able for warranty claims:
Go pedal
Full exhaust starting at the cross pipe
Turbo smart WGA and BOV
EC V4 intake
Race chip GTS
Catch can
Strut bar
Wilwood 6 pistons up front
I think that may be all…

but this list runs very well for me, if you’re into any of that.
Cheers,
