30.10.2011 TRIBE AGENCY TO SHOWCASE CUSTOMISED FIAT 500 AT SEMA

FIAT 500 ALPHA BRAVO - TRIBE AGENCY

According to the single rendering released so far by Tribe (above), which itself is a photoshopped effort based on an official Fiat image for the niche 500 by Diesel model, and released through the Fat Lace website, the Fiat 500 Alpha Bravo project apes a distinctly military theme.

Chrysler Group's Mopar parts and accessories division will be showing two unique Fiat 500s at SEMA next week and they won't be the only highly customised versions of the Italian supermini at the Las Vegas extravaganza as Tribe Agency will present a project which has been dubbed Fiat 500 Alpha Bravo.

According to the single rendering (which itself is a photoshop based on an official Fiat image for the niche 500 by Diesel model) released through the Fat Lace website, the 500 Alpha Bravo project apes a distinctly military theme, as also reflected in its "call sign" nametag, and highlighted by its two-tone camouflage paint finish: matte olive green for the doors, wings and bodywork complemented by matte black for the bonnet, roof, door pillars and waistline. The matte colours are offset by the standard chrome effect door mirrors and handles. The exterior scheme was apparently finished by Wraptivo and Meguiars.

Visual changes to the 500 Alpha Bravo are led by a new, deeper front apron (based on the U.S. market specification 500 Sport's bumper) and bigger wheel arches that have forged alloy wheels (shod with Falken tyres) squeezed in. To compensate for this the car will apparently have air lift suspension. External improvements are completed by a customised surf board rack from roof rack manufacturer Inno.

The SEMA Show is one of the leading automotive specialty products trade events in the world and is held annually at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The one-off Fiat 500 Alpha Bravo will be presented on the stand of car products manufacturer Meguiars.
