With the coupe getting on for 5 years old I am wondering why we haven't at least seen a slight refresh of the model? The interior could benefit from a new go over, especially the steering wheel and infotainment. Slap a Giulia wheel in there and a TFT radio from the fiat500 etc and it would be...

Hi guys, Recently been given a Q2 147 from my brother and it has a couple of little niggles that I want to sort. First off is the gear stick not centering. I've read up on that and understand I need to change some bushes. No problem. The other issue however is that there is nothing to stop...

I know this is a crazy question as most people are asking for advice on lowering but here goes... I was wondering whether to do the opposite and raise my car a little to give it a bit of a rally look. I'm just thinking as I want to craft a few FRP panels and make some changes to the look of the...
