    I found with the coupe that it was advisable to only use the original Fiat ones. Pattern parts don't seem to last as long. (you gets what you pay for)

    If possible I will but in this instance there have been issues with inside tyre ware and some people have called into question the quality of the fiat part against the pattern one ..some people question whether the pattern is an exact pattern of the original and if not can accelerate the inside tyre ware on the stilo..I haven't seen as yet seen any proof of this statement and TBO need convincing with evidence of the statement..

    well i have always used pattern parts and never had a problem only genuine parts i use are oil and airfilter. i will ring mervin stewart tomorrow and price a wishbone. if they are over £70+vat i'll just order pattern ones. i want a whole wishbone rather than p!ssin about with the existing wishbone changing bushes and the whole crack.
