Benvenuti amici!
We are back with another customization spotlight. We discovered this at F5O (FIAT 500 Owners) recently and instantly knew we wanted to share it with the CC5C community. This project was presented by Bryan at NGen FIAT, located in the Woodlands Texas. This outfit grabbed my attention, because it is committed to much more than helping people personalize their FIAT 500s. NGen FIAT also organizes/hosts meets & events. They are a family owned & run business which is devoted to being an active part in bridging the gaps between owners. That is an important mission and we are very much pleased to shine a light on them.
This, unlike our equally brilliant build from Joseph Reyes at 500 Madness, is not a performance-focused presentation. This is the FIAT 500 take on Extreme [Styling] Makeover. Seeing this entry through, to the end, will be a very rewarding experience. With the FIAT Custom Shop apparently a long way out, places like Road Race, NGen FIAT, Euro Compulsion and H.P.S.I. Motorsports are, for most of us, the source for FIAT goodies and intense work. Of course, as was the case with my modding, there is also the partnering with our respective local studios for these projects.
The custom project we are sharing today began with a verde chiaro 500 Lounge. Now, one could reasonably argue there is absolutely nothing one could possibly add to a Lounge. They are, after all, the luxury Cinquino. But FIAT owners are a creative bunch. They see possibilities in every Fitito. My friends, we proudly present… to you… 'All Dolled Up'.

The set-up…
Let's kick the tires and walk around…
Get a good look at everything…
Looks pretty spectacular to me…
Brace yourselves for the next two shots…
Ouch!
I told you so...
So, with the Lounge disassembled for painting, and other modifications, the transformation can begin. We will skip that, as you can find it on the NGen FIAT website, and jump to the big reveal. Get ready!
Drum roll, please…
Ta-Da!!!
Let's take a closer look…
A Posh interior for a posh tiny buggy…
This build is beginning to look familiar...
That's it! The EU Barbie Special Edition…
Of course, this spin on that is more extreme…
This is an exercise in loving devotion...
… To a given idea...
… And seeing the idea...
… through to existence.
Now, that's amore!
Are you happy you committed the time to scrolling through this build? Are you shocked by the transformation ~ from start to finish? There is a groundswell of excitement, in North America, building around the FIAT brand. I have a strong feeling the things we are seeing from owners like Joseph & Bryan are the merely tip of the iceberg. We, at CC5C, welcome the future today.
Do you have a build you would like to share? Do you have a story of another sort to share? Please, share it with the community here. We look forward to every new contact made. Until our next meeting…
