Located once again in the eastern part of London in the U.K. this tuning specialist also offers many modifications for the Sporting, as with many tuners a bewildering array of options are on offer here quite simply the only limiting factors here are your imagination or your budget. Also in much the same way as the company listed above this is the other one of the two companies who really know the most about the FIRE engine in your car in the UK and how to get the most from it.

Having seen their Cinq Sporting demonstrator with many of the styling parts they offer fitted to it, I can personally vouch for the excellent standard of their workmanship and quality of the parts on offer from this northern based tuning concern. Sadly this company has now ceased trading but I thought i'd leave the info here so people can at least see what was available.

Having spoken to Autodelta myself I can confirm that they are extremely professional and are able to answer all your queries about the Novitec parts range and also stock many of the parts which are available.... if only all tuners of these cars were as helpful and as organised as this !

Very much the innovator Novitec produce some excellent equipment including the items pictured below of great interest to me is their airbox (approx £105) which fits onto the front of the standard filter/airbox in the same way as the standard intake system but has the added advantage of having a 2" intake throat allowing the car to breathe much more easily.

Following a magazine article my attention was drawn to the fact that this company can supply an Abarth Bodykit, Which I assume is the full genuine Fiat kit or a copy of same. This company recently achieved a "commended" rating in the 98/99 Max Power Magazine awards here is the write up from the magazine..... "RGS are based in an immaculate workshop near Northampton. They are able to carry out most modifications and offer a tuning service backed up by a power graph from their Dynomet mobile rolling road." RGS Say: "We're dedicated to customer service and our aim is to provide a professional and personal approach to tuning" this points to the possibility that RGS can supply all the Cinquecento bits you might need why not give them a call and see.
