The American market cars never came with side indicators. See this Press Photo to confirm.

Thank you Karl. That was quite informative.

[V-16]

My guess it would be aluminium due to its being light weight and at that era, aluminium was being used a lot for parts and even bodies.
Karl, you're something else man!! Hats off to you!!

the blue fiat with side stickers belongs to a guy called Ashish Poduval, Mumbai. he is a common friend of Salil Pawar.

Off Topic:

can someone tell me how it all started - first thing you did to form the FCCI. i wanted to start a similar club in this part of the country. how did you guys invite the owners (contact numbers, addresses, etc)? i even started a community @ orkut - Fiat Club at Kolkata (Calcutta) - but only four members joined (including 1100D n me). how can i reach out to more people? sorry about going way too off topic. :(

Uh, the ones I've seen are all plain aluminium (or maybe painted silver)...the rims were usually painted cream.
