Last Week I Purchased My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 I Get It On Tuesday, This Is My 1st Fiat I Have Bought And Seen As Im Young I Want To Make A Few Improvements To My Car. As You Can See Its All Basic On The Outside But Has The Fiat Stripes On.

Does Anybody Know If Its Possibly To Put Spots On A Fiat That Hasn't Got Them On? Cheers



Things I Want To Do
- Alloys
- Put Spots In If Possible
- Lowered
- Debadge The Front + Change The Grilles

If Anybody Has Got Any Ideas Of What I Can Do To The Car Then Feel Free To Let Me Know.

hi welcome to the forum there is a guide on the guide section about how to install fog lights i actually did it on mine and it was a peice of cakee, your car looks great mate futer mods sound good not to big but suttle and hows about lowering it on some eibach sportlines ive got them on mine about the handleing mprovment it amazing and looks the dogs b***s:slayer:

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Cheers for the advice, yeah that sounds good to me how much do they cost? im only 17 so i dont know that too much tbh. Also im not sure what colour scheme to go for seen as ive got the bit of white on the car. I havent got enough black to go with that but black always look better, so im in a bit of a pickle

yeah ill have a look but does that effect your insurance if you have lowered? and do you know if there is a guide to taking the badge off the front? or is it just simple to do? as i said earlier i most likely sound dumb lol however what sort of spray would i use to spray the grills? deffo wont get the tints done as i learnt from having my 206 tinted with the dot matrix i hated it i even had them redone to try and get rid of it but it doesnt work and the dot matrix is even worse on the grande punto.

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Nice looking car, I always liked that chemical grey colour. Personally I think White alloys and white mirrors would set it off quite nicely with those stripes.

But yeah, definitely lower it

Cheers for the comments on that i really appreciate it its a debate whether to go for white or black but im on about going to try and get the stripes removed by fiat but not sure on pricing or anything but it might grow on me again or i might grow to hate it.

Also will it be easier for me to just debadge it myself or just fork out 53 quid for the badgless grill? if it works out easier to do that is there any other places that do cheap grills? or will ebay be my best bet?

urmm youcan try ebay mate, but if you just take the badge ofyour left with a round plastic holder the same size as the badge on the grill. i dont see why you have to take it to fiat either to get them stripes of im sure if you got a hairdryer youd beab;le to do it yourself mate alsoo with the 1.2 if your thinking about putting 17" alloys on go carefully there masses of threads on the forum with 1.2 and gear box problems of putting 17s on soo eith go for 16s or lightweight 17s or gotfor the sporting alloys haha like me:idea:

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

hope this help

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

i see what you mean, i heard i can do take the stripes off myself but i dont want to make a mess of the car so it will be easier for me to just pay somebody professionally to do it, well if im gonna have problems with 17's alloys then i will forget about that and go for 16's or 15's. I checked out that guide for it and it looks a pain in the arse to do. Most of the work i do on my cars my dad helps and he was like ide get lost trying to do all that. So i dont think that will be happening. I get it tomorrow and ive bought my sound system for the car im just worried that if i get halfords to fit it and i have a problem with the car is will mess with my warrenty? is that correct?

Your sound system won't mess warranty up and honestly me and my dad did mine and it took about house maybe 2 at the most its easy honestly ! I'd go for 17s or 16s not 15s. If you wait till tonight I will do you a guide on how to do your sound system what's it include of? Sub amp speakers?

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Sorry about the late reply didnt come back on the computer on the night, i looked at a guide on how to do the sound system the other day and the rear speakers look a bitch to try and fit so im thinking i may aswell go and pay halfords to fit it because if i have any trouble theyve got to fix it correct? i did have a sub and amp in my old car but i think putting it in this car will ruin it so im still debating whether im going to put it in yet or not
