Just brought a Grande Punto Active, Need some advice on alloys.

It isnt a very good picture of the car. only one i got atm tho. What colour alloys go best with tha colour car? And i want the handles and mirrors colour coded, how much does tha cost?

Also i like the linea race kit 084. Where do you get those from? or any other good ones u recommend?

I tried to post the URL but i am not allowed till 5 posts.

Cheers for your help.

Re: Just brought a Grande Punto Active, Need some advice on alloys.

nice looking car you got yourself there

im not a gp owner myself, but i would say get some standard coloured alloys (silver), or black might suit your car.

Re: Just brought a Grande Punto Active, Need some advice on alloys.

What size you think? cuz those standed ones are WAY to small the arches look 2 big so i want 17" or 18"s i think. How much does it cost to have the windows tinted?

Re: Just brought a Grande Punto Active, Need some advice on alloys.

im not to sure about windows tinted.

just have a look on a few websites and see what there is there

i would go for 17 inch alloys, but make sure you get the correct sizes and stuff.

i have 17's on my car and they are plenty big enough

i just got some new blinds for my car which make it look like the windows are tinted, but they arent

Re: Just brought a Grande Punto Active, Need some advice on alloys.

can you turn a grande punto chavvy

you are perhaps looking at around £150 upwards to get your windows tinted properly - check out this address for an idea (luxury company)

Re: Just brought a Grande Punto Active, Need some advice on alloys.

be careful of your warranty if you start adding bits to the engine and tinkering with the car because it could become invalid if something goes wrong.

the linea race kit does look good

does my kit void warranty or do i need to tell the insurers as it is an official fiat kit?
