Fiat 500 hood spacers: the charm of vintage racing
The Fiat 500 hood spacer pair is a historic accessory with a strong sporting character. This system indeed allows the engine hood to be raised to a 90° angle. It is an iconic modification rooted in the competitions of the 1960s and 70s. At the time, this solution was adopted to drastically improve engine cooling during races. Today, it represents an essential choice for those wishing to faithfully replicate the style of the legendary 595 and 695 Abarth.
Technical details and historical mounting
Installing the Fiat 500 hood spacer immediately transforms the rear aesthetics of the car. The product is supplied exactly as shown in the images, with no additional accessories included. However, it is important to remember a key detail for a consistent restoration. Originally, the hood was not simply rested but secured to the supports using specific rubber hooks. Therefore, for a professional installation, we recommend pairing them with the elastic tie-rods available in our warehouse. The structure is robust and designed to withstand mechanical stress.
