You cant get alloys that exactly match the Fiat Spec. So it is out of the question.

Yes Niaz Sir, those are Amby wheelcaps. Dad insisted on having them. They have been removed now. thank god..

12 years back we had a red (my idea) 1976 Premier Padmini....with blacked out pillars and white wheels. But then i didn't have a camera and i hadn't heard about TBHP.

Later we changed her color to grey (dad's idea).

Here is the illusive FIAT with GYPSY engine. This is going to be my first project when i get my own garage.

*hint hint*

hey guys,

i would like to lower my fiat, remove the bumpers and do a nice front and rear skirting on it..

any ideas?

Cyrus43 · 9th July 2008, 01:29

Please dont do any skirting job on a fiat. Please Please Please...It looks good as of now. Dont ruin it. Also, why are your wheels in a different color??

Man! That's an awesome car! Just perfect, nothing overdone, and well finished too. It would have looked better with the alloys, but there is a reason for not putting it, so its fine.

But just 1 qn, why dont u ever use this car?? Atleast thats what i've understood.

Dear JayD - there is a reason why I do not use BLL4919 - when I was a college trainee in PAL in 1977, there was one red colour car (tartar red registration number MMD3232, chassis no PA222870, I still remember the chassis number) which was made for the use of Mr.J.M.Vakil, the MD of PAL. I was very thrilled to see that car everyday. It was my dream car. I decided that I would have a dream car like MMD3232 some day but it will be with a black top and it shall look better than MMD3232. I realised that dream after 28 years in February 2005 when I restored BLL4919 exactly the way I wanted it. It was made for not using, just keeping forever. My dream is not yet over. I want it to be parked inside the living room of my house. Someday, this dream also will get realised. I am working on it. I have even gone to the extent of getting the doors to close with a sound exactly like that of a new car. What more can I do? It is the best fiat in India.

Now everybody is telling me to use it. Let's see what to do.

Nobody realises it that for me BLL4919 is not a car, it is the realisation of my dream.

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

VJ_MAVRICK · 9th July 2008, 13:57

@chargerman: The Fiat looks amazing with those bumpers and also nice set of wheels and tires

Behram Sir, The Red 4919 looks beautiful. It does reflect the love & care that you have for the car. Please use the car as you wish too as I would love to see this car gleaming like this even after a few years down the line

Cyrus43 · 9th July 2008, 16:59
