Hi guys,

I'm converting a 75 and I need an evo kit, I have seen several that sell kits but I wonder if anyone has fitted them and how the quality was, how much work they needed.
Maybe someone here has done it?

Best regards Dennis

Unfortunately kits I have seen are low/medium quality and really disappointing. I had a full original EVO body kit i sold before and even that wasn't as strong and sturdy as the stock OEM bumpers.
When it comes to body kit if you have a low budget or worried about how long it takes... You're in for a surprise, a very good body shop person is a must first and that's rare today. Then anything is possible.
Good luck.

The one I got from centerline is meant for north American cars and the front and rear bumpers fit really well and bolted right on. The side skirts fit ok but needed some trimming. The hardest part is to install the fender flares front and rear because they don't fit very well and need to be molded on. I just bought some 1 piece fiber glass evo front fenders from pesch motor sports in Czech and they look great are super light weight

Take a look at my post if I get enough requests I can make molds off the ones I made. I was in a similar situation as you are in. Mr fiat sells a set but it will set you back like 5000-6000k and like a 3 year wait I have yet to see a quality body kit no such thing. Plus the kit wil require 10 inch wide wheels with proper offsets. Keep in mind it’s not only the body kit you also need correct wheels. The original evo has GTV6 wheels and I think everyone here knows that it does not look good .

Hey can you expand upon this, Maybe make your own thread on this? What was the shipping cost from the Czech Republic to Canada? Who was the shipping carrier? I've looked into buying body panels from europe on eBay but shipping cost and the carrier was always a deal breaker.

Thanks

I’m looking for a set too, in California. I found a few places which make the EVO kit, one from Santander, Spain. But shipping was catastrophically high last year, like $2000.

The fender from Pesch is the “superturismo” version which is wider than the EVO tack on stuff. I still might buy it though. How was shipping from the Chezch republic?

Anyone interested in ordering their fenders? I’m probably going to order it next month. Maybe we can order a few sets together?

Yep, shipping is so tough right now and frankly, I don't see the situation getting better soon. I'd looked into a set of Euro bumpers for another car I own and shipping from the UK cost as much as the bumpers themselves.

Was in Long Beach, CA recently for the Grand Prix and could see 40-odd cargo ships parked in the Pacific from our trackside condo rental.

Hey just felt like chiming In. I just bought an Alfa Milano, it’s a pretty rough car and I plan to use this as a car to learn bodywork, so I have no concern about quality of any kit, as I like a challenge and am interested in learning. I’m located in Arizona. What would be my easiest option for finding a kit? I couldn’t find any for sale online. I emailed centerline Alfa, but would also be interested in a factory veloce kit, or something similar. Anybody have any leads on something like that?

I am also looking for an EVO kit for my Milano. I would buy the centerline kit but they are out of stock and have been so for a long time. Has anyone purchased from this company:

Do you guys wanna doa group by from a Greek vendor? Price seems reasonable. But shipping is a total $h1+ though. We can wait until that comes down a bit

He quoted me €1400 so, about $1600? I will get more photos from him.
i tried to buy one from a guy in Santander, Spain , price was very cheap, but shipping was like €2000. Just stupid expensive IMHO. I was told container prices has gone up 5X due to price gouging by shipping lines.

I'd be interested in a group buy also, depending on how the parts look.

Ok let me contact him and ask him to check on shipping rates. I’m not in a rush to by and I’m willing to wait a few months as the rates are exorbitant now. I’ll update this thread when I get updates from the vendor
