Fewer “Hey look at me in my go anywhere, sitting up high so I can stare at my cellphone, SUV that’s really just a lifted hatchback which is fine because all I’m driving to is work and the store and the school to drop off and pick up my overindulged kids, also glued to a cellphone, because heavens if they actually had to walk a half mile because it’s too cold or too hot or too rainy, and since i bought a new house on what was a cornfield along a state highway along with with mini malls and Starbucks, the town gets stuck having to pay to put in traffic lights every quarter mile so I can just stop and go and stop and go behind these people in their hey look at me suv’s.”
Oh wow, I don’t think this is quite what @Brett67 meant! 🤣

Auto Ricambi sells stuff, they don’t make stuff. Common guys they are not Santa Claus. 🤣
The point of the post as I understand it is, what factory stuff should they stock up on in case we need to get our beloved back on the road. They also provide us with great aftermarket products, but I don’t think they are in the position to create products for such a niche car beyond what they have already done. Now @Brett67 can correct me if I am wrong, but I think I understood this correctly.

a boy can dream, can't he?!?!


I get that...and most of what I dream/desire is sorta OEM...IE offered by Fiat at some time, but maybe nicer. I guess I will just go back out in the garage and buff my headlights.... 😜
Hey I totally get that, I myself want to change out all the chrome bits on the inside with carbon fiber inserts, add alcantara to the dash, center armrest and surround (thanks @LondonAbarth124 ) and door trims, and have vented carbon fiber hood and carbon trunk made for the car. Btw there is a company that makes a very lightweight hard top for the 124 in both carbon and FRP. They also add insulation for a cost.

One thing that would be nice, it would be to have aftermarket options to the infotainment system that does not have the limitations of the original unit. I have looked and searched, and so far, no one offers an aftermarket replacement unit. BTW, if someone does know about an aftermarket replacement, please let everyone know. Thanks
Check out the alpine unit @TX_Bandit has in his. That thing is slick and from what I read it interfaces with the factory equipment nicely.
