>>>my Gp...

Hi everyone,

New to the forum and it looks like a great place to get some help and info!!!

Thought i'd show you my Grande Punto 1.4 16v Sporting in carribean orange... looking to get a powerflow exhaust system and a K&N 57i ar filter or a BCA carbon one....i guess the ultimate question is , do you think 18" black alloys would look good?? i was looking at the Kei Racing Alloys, Force 10's or Pulse ???? or should i stay with chrome/silver alloys???

Hoping to debage and put black abarth badges on also....

What do you think???

Thanks for you advice

Alex

Re: >>>my Gp...

guilford not too far from me!

black alloys on the orange would look lovely especially with the stripes!
if you private message a guy called oldschool on the forum he makes gsr induction kits and i have only heard good things about them, i have got a k&n though and is great. black abarth badges would really set the back off, and do a search about removing the punto badge there are lots of pictures somewhere! its a good thing to do to the gp in my eyes.

anyways welcome and lovely car, although i am sure some people will have something to say about the shopping list on the side of the car but i don't think it looks bad.

Welcome mate!

Yeh I think black 18s would fit well. And stripes look great - I wanted to do mine a while ago but changed my mind last minute. Were they hard to put on?

Car looks good mate. Im a big fan of black alloys, hence mine. I think they will suit your GP really well. Liking the stripe as well, i think it has to be done well in order to look right and yours fits the bill.

Good work.

Rich

I thought they come already-cut? Where did you buy them from?

Re: >>>my Gp...

nah don't like the stripes. i don't really like black alloys, they just seem to blend in with the tyres, and at the night u can't even see them. you want them to stand out

Try the dealer LC motors in Newport - he did a nationwide search for me - located a car in swindon which i then bought.
What part of S Wales are you in.
