Re: My Punto Plans

Lowering will cost about £200 for springs and fitting. Then obviously insurance costs on top.

Re: My Punto Plans

hmm, maybe just the alloys for now then untill my insurance goes down a bit more.
Im having trouble understanding which dynamic it is, the book says its a 1.2 but it has 6 gears???? and only the 1.4 has 6 gears, I will have to look at the engine when it gets here, is there any way i can tell?
I personaly think the guarage has made a big mistake, not only was it already underpriced but i think they got the specs wrong as well lol

Thanks

Re: My Punto Plans

tbh pass your test first before you even consider ANY mods

Re: My Punto Plans

yeah, but i can still drive the car on this insurance deal im getting, it just means that an adult with a driving licence has to be with me when i do.

But the only mods im planning on doing is alloys, lowering, maybe tints and i like the look of this induction kit you can get. after that i will make it up as i go along.

I put it in that site and it says
MakeFIATModelPUNTO DYNAMIC SPORT 16VTransmission & fuel typeMANUAL 6 GEARS PETROLBody Type3 DOOR HATCHBACK

So the guarage must of made a mistake lol, they thought i was getting a discounted 1.2 dynamic and they gave me a 1.4 dynamic sport worth even more
I just wwwiiiiiiiiiisssssssssshhhhhhhhhh it was in another colour but what can you do... i hear getting it sprayed is VERY expensive and apparently they have to take the car to bits? and if i get it sprayed the interia will look odd so i wont bother lol.

I also checked the insurance with direct line, theres not much difference there either im beggining to like this car :P

Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but Direct Line dont allow any mods unless you are over 25.

well moaning about the colour on a forum isnt going to make it change to a better colour so either get a refund or get a respray or just deal with it.

Re: My Punto Plans

Ive already said its something i will have to put up with.

I phoned direct line, alloys are fine so thats good i also asked about the indunction kit, they said it was ok but it would rocket my insurance so its not worth it, i dont mind it being a bit sluggish, im not getting it for the speed, im getting it for the looks, quality and comfort

What the hell, I don't get it. Direct Line's policy is no mods unless you are 25 and has been mentioned on here loads of times before. Something doesn't add up somewhere along the line.
