I've tried a number of LED options in my 2013, and this set have me the best pattern and illumination. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WYL1P47?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
You have to fiddle with them and rotate them in their base to get the best results
this will have the clips you need and more . its a pita for me to tell you from starpart what the exact pn# you need
Sure here it is: Sparco 01612RS Tow Strap https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01DM5MUSE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2EKQFWE8YZF18P6KT7QG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I haven’t had to use it yet but it’s a much better alternative than towing from the control arm!
This is the exact kit I purchased through Amazon works perfectly and not expensive!

I bought this Arkon suction cup mount back in early April of last year, to use in my US-spec Abarth. Despite being a suction cup mount, it actually works great. I have it mounted on the front of the dashboard (hard plastic area; it looks like the 595 has the same type of material here?). In the nearly 17 months that I've been using the mount, it has fallen off twice. So I would venture to guess that if I were simply to pull it off every six or so months, give the suction cup a quick rinse and reinstall it, it would never fall off. Which is really not bad.
Here's a link to the product on US Amazon store, but I'm not sure if it will help much since you must not be in the US yourself (if you're getting a 595).

Also, here is a link to some pics of the one I bought, installed on the dash in my Abarth. These are pics I took shortly after getting the mount. The phone shown in the pics is an iPhone 6S Plus; the mount will also accommodate smaller or larger phones, though. I showed the mount to two friends after using it for a little while, and they both went on Amazon to order one for themselves (and have been equally happy with theirs, last I heard).
I know exactly what clips you're talking about.
They are not referenced by part number in the factory service manual, or on the MOPAR online parts catalog anywhere. I dug deep.
As it turns out that's because they are not a FCA part. They are an Alfa Romeo/Peugeot part OEM'ed by Bross for Alfa. Which I guess makes sense given FCA owns Alfa now.
You can buy them directly from Bross via Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079ZVHRLP/
Sunglasses, I store in the pocket to the right of the shifter. Change - I boycott tolls so not an issue. Random small stuff I store in the rear cupholders between the seats. If you need anything bigger that won't fit in the glovebox, stick a box in the back. You didn't exactly buy an SUV here :)
As far as the rear wiper, I ordered mine from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KS2PXQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Do you think that maybe an adapter could work. Maybe something like this??? https://www.amazon.com/American-Shifter-268707-Shift-Knob/dp/B01FXFQ8RK/ref=asc_df_B01FXFQ8RK/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312031442103&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11400582274239173669&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hv...
Can only answer question 2.
For headlights I run these: Auxbeam Z6 Series 9012 HIR2 LED... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08NVPVTKJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
No CANBUS issues
The DRLs are another problem. I was running a set but the right one would be out or it would be on with an error. Just bought these ones last weekend and they work about 80% of the time without an error.

I bought these ones. They fit in the stock enclosures and look awesome, been a year now and no issues. Still searching for the perfect DRL LED bulbs though. My right one always guess out.

Summary: I make the mistakes so you don’t have to.. decided to
gamble and mod my diffuser. not perfect but I like it. Total cost 100 bucks..
can be cheaper with other products or if you just want the fins or lights individually.
Install notes:
I used truck bedliner spray on the finished product.. covers
any scratch and mistakes plus I have most of my car already sprayed with the
crap. The brake light shows up with a white lens and you pick which color leds you want in it when you order. I wanted it red so I decided to use red tint
spray to tint mine red.. use a Dremel or a spork to punch a 3x3 hole in the
mesh of the diffuser.. provided light brackets hold it in place very well
because they sandwich together the plastic around it.. took out driver side
rear tail light.. spliced into black for ground and white/green for brake
light.. NOW plug in the taillight to test the connection.. wiring can be
perfect but the light will NOT engage if the taillight assembly is not plugged
in…after that route and wire loom the cable.. use zip ties.. hot exhaust pipes
will melt it all if you do not wire manage the connection. After that bob’s
your uncle..all done
Diffuser Project-
Parts used: There are the product I picked. was looking at
others but they seemed the most painless
Fins:

Rear brake light: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M5MZGDL?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details&th=1
They make bracket repair kits for the Fiat 500. Here's a link.
sure.. hope the links work.. these are the fins i took a gamble on.. The Fins and this is the light im going to be installing once some more parts arrive.. Brake light
this is what i use, however, i did have to use an adhesive to make it stay put on my dashboard, and if using it during the summer, will make the phone hot.

Only downside is that you need to stick a magnet to your phone.
If you don’t use your CD player I got a magnetic phone mount.

I would not trust my life with that shit, but hey
Thought I should share the OBD2 Scanner I’ve been using. I wanted to use it for about 6 months before recommending, but so far has been nothing but good to me and extremely helpful. For just over $30 US, good deal IMO. I’m not affiliated, just wanted to share for anyone looking at options.

Yes for sure I now use a full steering wheel cover and one of these every evening.

About £125 for the pair is well worth it for peace of mind, combined they're a visual deterrent if nothing else.
Glad you got the car back. I had a 595 stolen in 2018, never saw it again.
I typically swear by this stuff for corrosion protection but being hidden underneath the bumper I never really realized how bad this pipe was getting, I try to coat everything else routinely especially if I have to take stuff off/ put it back on. I’ll definitely be giving the replacement a full spray
Thanks. I used this: A-Team Performance 010402 Starter Heat Shield Barrier Cover Wrap Insulation High Temperature Fiberglass Versa-Shield Aluminized Protection Silver 7"x 24" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W5K6WRJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_R4TK5Y46F64QCEGZ94B9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Hey OP. Clay bar is a really good bet. That’s iron oxide buildup, which it easily removes. There is a cheaper option I wanted to point out to you, as you likely already have a few microfibers laying around and would only need to purchase one item, here’s an Amazon link for reference:

I’ve used that exact product from Autozone. So easy.
U green has a Bluetooth dongle that plugs into the aux and USB for power. Its conveniently tucked into the glovebox and auto turns on when you turn on the car. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B081GGB53R/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_0ZSXF7T63Q84Z6N8EJWR
Literally just fixed this on my new-to-me car last week. Bought some 3M automotive body panel tape (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JOVUO0). Cleaned & wiped off as much of the original stuff as I could with a towel, put some of this one, gave it pressure for an hour, everything still attached a week later.
I've had these in my wish list for ages but haven't bit the bullet. I haven't heard anything negative about them but am still on the fence.

I had a similar issue after a long trip in my 2013 abarth when it was new. I wasn't used to checking the oil as frequently as this car need it. You're probably fine unless you have continued to drive it alot since the codes came on. I have a recurring order on amazon to get a case of oil every six months. In case your not sure the recommended oil is this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JMCCBRW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but I am sure there are others up to the same spec as well.
I am not a big fan of the iPad as it blocks the vents and the radio (I do still use my radio, I must be old). I use my phone in the same way and don't need to type on it, I just use the google assistant and do everything by voice. It does get it a high-tech Telsa sort of look though.
One suggestion is to get a magnetic phone mount. This one on amazon is great and makes is so much easier to put your phone into place. It could be an issue if you don't have case on your phone since you would see the metal plate on the back of your phone. On my pixel I attached the metal plate to the inside of my phone case.
The spark plugs for this car are 13 dollars a piece CAD and can be changed within 15 minutes.
The evap code is the gas cap. Replaced mine with one from amazon for 12 bucks. Fixed it. The seal on the cap gets worn. It's just enough to throw a code.

I used the same molding tape to attach as you did, to remove I used one of these rubber wheels and a drill to get the old adhesive off. You have to get the right technique of light pressure, but once you do it works perfectly.
Removing the gunk was the most tedious part of it, but once it was off and things were clean getting stuff reattached was a breeze. It's also very likely that you won't need those new fasteners and that the old ones are just popped out in a way that they can't be popped back in without twisting like you can when it's off.
The volume adjustment changes every beep except the ignition beep...
I used a USB led strip for the foot wells, and plugged it in to the USB port in the glove box. That port is accessory power so it shuts off with the car. Going through the center console area was a bit of a pain but if you reach around enough you'll find the area to use as a pass through. The light strip I bought came with 3M outdoor tape along with some clips, after five months I haven't had an issue with it falling off. I set the lights to a lower intensity red so as not to mess with night vision.

I used this specialized socket plus a swivel joint to reach the oil filter. Also, this is the oil I chose for my car.
