I've been meaning to start a thread on Fiona for a while so here we go :) sorry for lack of pics on some areas!

This is how I found her! Been sat in the corner of a parking lot after being there for 4 years! Covered in moss and with a knackered ECU meaning she only ran on 2 cylinders I bought her for £200 a year ago! I fixed the ECU for £100 and she ran sweet as a nut! Turns out she had only done 31512 miles! So a bargain all in all! I was the 3rd owner after 2 previous lady owners with full service history.
I got her home after a steam clean and a polish and she looked like this!

Overall the paint was mint and the car in General was perfect!
So whilst I was waiting to get a license I set to some slight mods ;) first was the back end, starting with some debadging and de-wipe ring, looking like this.

Much better! So I moved to the next mod with was making Fiona lighter, bye bye back seats!

Next was HIDs

So at this point I had Fiona on the road but because the insurer I was with (co-op with black box, who it suggest to never go with!) it lasted 3 months and she was back off the road for another 6 months until I was 18! (July)
So more modding was to be done!

So next was the sporting wheels getting refurbed in gunmetal grey :) with abarth centre caps to finish them off! :)

Then I bought a abarth spoiler for £30 on ebay, just a test fit later to get resprayed and fitted ;)

A big off topic now but a good friend of mine wrote off his punto active! :O (he was fine!)

On the up hand I got a set of 14" wheels for £70 ;) got these refurbed in gunmetal grey again. Looking a bit like this.

Now on the car with 20mm lowering suspension, looking a lot more smarter!

Now been to 2 MI meets and have a fair few more mods that I haven't mentioned :p
Much more on the to-do list! (Visual and performance wise) so watch this space! Many more things to come (and with more pics from now on!)
 
never seen them wheels on a cento before (Y) I like ... my mind is pondering :)......

Looks a good car , Paint the middle of your rear bumper black :) were the number plate goes :) they look so much better imo

I'm not sure if I like that or not :S I have just sprayed the silver mesh black, will post a pic tomorrow :) subtle but a massive improvement! Next month I'm gonna possibly tint the rear lights slightly and tidy up engine bay when HIDs go back in after MOT on Wednesday :S

Not done much with Fiona for a while, so today I put the sporting wheels back on (winter wheels)
And had some tint spray delivered so will be tinting rear lights, side repeaters and front indicators soon! Watch this space!
 
amber tint the front fogs ..Granville amber lens paint is the stuff you want
