When I saw this car for the first time even I was shocked and amazed. But late when I learnt more about it, it disappointed me a lot. There is nothing Fiat left in it ! And more hurting is the AUDI grill on a FIAT. The car has been modified well and to perfection, I must say that honestly, but the Complete Originality has been LOST. The fun and adventure of driving and oldy is below zero . I feel its insulting this wonderful Italian Brand, and the car (Fiat 1100) which has become a BRAND itself in INDIA.

Hi Sujit i totally agree with you as it has lost all the originality of a fiat, and I heard this car is for sale.

Are you serious? The owner sounded like he will NEVER EVER sell it on all the rallys.

Arre yaar.. What are you saying?!

Whats wrong with this Audi faced Fiat?
1. It has a 118NE Nissan Engine.
2. The front grill is of Audi.
For these two reasons you say its not a FIAT and you are willing for this FIAT to get scrapped.

Solution:
All it needs is Rs.5000/- to become a good Fiat 1100 Delight.
1. Fiat 1100/ Premier Padmini engine from guijri. Rs.4500/-
2. A Delight grill from gujiri. Rs.500/-

Instead of sending this car to gujiri, get the above two parts from gujiri and fix them to this Delight.

I have a big heart for FIATs. I wish you too have little more mercy for FIATs.

He he true. I didn't include the labor costs as I was answering to Suji's post. He is a Automobile Engineer and I thought he will restore this Audi Fiat as a college project.

That's the spirit boy!! Arun check out you must be having a FIAT logo on you heart. I agree to what Arun says this car doesn't deserve to be a scrap (I hope the owner is not reading this posts) guys think about the love he has for this car which made him to still keep the car. Do you think its wrong to have a car of your desire/taste. I agree originality also matters but folks we have all kinds of people under the sky.

I still love the car as I love any other Fiat/PP inspite of an Audi grill etc etc (I'm still wondering where did he procure the grille from apart from the cost). Job simply well done. (If this car come cheap then I am game)

I totally agree with Chanu, we should respect the love of the car owner has for his car. He modified it as per his like, atleast he took effort in modernising the car, not like the parent company who left the model to die, if any one is to blame here is the parent company who made a such a wonderful car, but then left untouched.

The idea behind the modification has worked well, many are attracted to this car, and for while it comes to there mind if they too had a Fiat like this, leave those who just can envie nothing else.

Originality of the car was manitained by PAL also then what happened the car production stopped, still many Fiat owners have kept the original car, but what use no one take effort to peep in.

This is just my point of view, may hurt some, sorry for that.

Assuming that's a genuine Audi grille, if the car is asked for without the grille then it is bound to come relatively cheap!

I hope it wasnt an all-original delight like yours before it was modded up though! Maybe it wasn't too original to begin with so the owner decided to go further?
But isnt the dashboard altered beyond "repair"? How to revert to the original if the car is to be restored back to originality?

[arun1100]

The Infamous Audi Fiat is very much with the Owner Mr. Ananth. According to him, this car is not for sale and no way it will be restored back to originality. Mr. Ananth is very happy with the car. Personally, I too am very happy with this car.

Chanu: Looks like you are still tempted to buy more FIATs. First restore your cars to full glory and stock enough parts for them.

Stanher: LOL. If the Delight parts I have were surplus, I would surely donate them.

Mehul1100: Your "Innova like features" Padmini needs this type of modification.

[funkykar]

If I remember correctly, this owner has a habit of modifying/changing the complete look and feel of the car every 3-4 years.
