Correct


The salesman has told you these extras are worth these amounts to make you think you're getting a bigger saving.

Nah we arent having ago at you mate We are just saying the dealer might have been over egging the value of the extra's that is all. 10,500 is still a good price with all that stuff on though

oh, i agree 100%. its all about the stats and commission for them. i know they sweet talk into thinking your special. but all in all i dont think i did bad.

while were on the subject of removing stuff, how do you get the front grills off the GP, anyone know?

No cant be fitted afterwards and rear lights should just unbolt i would of thought.

I think they just pull out? Give them a good tug or have a search it will have been covered before i think.

pop the boot, undo the 2 screws and pull, it does take some doing but be careful also.
as for the sky dome, i dont think theyd do it. the cost would be stupid.

Re: Rear Lights What Do You Think

Go as dark as you want. As long as you can still see the light through them then you are fine. Its only illegal if you tint the reflectors but what with them being down near the reverse light and fog light it doesnt matter.

ok. thanks mate. i dint know that. the casings are clear and the bodys of the lights are black, they have a big ugly yellow bulb at the top which i dont like. but the LEDs are pretty cool. so i might give it a go this wknd. ive still got my original lights if i destroy these ones tho. ha ha.
concerning wheels, would it be better in your opinion to get them re sprayed black, if so how much do you think i would be looking at per wheel, or just get some neww ones. mucho exspensivo for the styles i like.
is that a punto 3 you drive?

Re: Rear Lights What Do You Think

thats not bad. ill look into it.
a mate of mine once had a punto 3 1.9HGT (he ended up gettin rid cos of fuel consumption and repetitive electronic faults) and he gave me a go in it, at this point i was driving an S reg punto 60 1.2, so i thought it was ace! I put my foot down and had to hang on for dear life!! right little pocet rocket it was.
