A UNIQUE ReSTYLING CHALLENGE. Purchased from Ebay out of London while employed as a Designer at Aston Martin in Gaydon UK. The challenge and goal of this project was to take the the most unassuming vehicle and turn it into a head turner. What made this challenge even more unique was that I decided to make this FIAT my daily driver and park it among a car park full of beautiful and expensive Aston Martins.
Affectionately called “Olive”, this tiny FIAT 126 required many hours of repairs and upgrades to run correctly. Improvements were made with authentic Italian Cromodora magnesium wheels and the same Pirelli Tires as those on a Ferrari F40 (not same size). The project was a success and repeatedly received special parking placement at the Aston Martin facility.
