Grande Punto My Grey Grande Punto Sport.

Introduction

Thought id start a new thread as ive changed lots of small things and lost track of it all, but basically im back where i started :p

this is how it is now



At the moment its on fk coilovers (which im really surprised at how well they perform) about 65mm drop all round
i think the rears need spacing about 10-15mm and then drop the front to 75/80

Went for 16's a while back but looked horrible so went back to the 17 dezent motions (looking for a trade with 15 spoke sporting wheels if anyones interessted?)

Engine is standard apart from a K&N panel filter. no point wasting money on the engine as i wont get any more power :(


Also changed alot of audio, now ive got:
Rockford Fosgate P1652-S 16.5cm Front Comps
Rockford Fosgate P400-4 Amp - Powering the speakers so i dont need a HU
and a Vibe 1600w Black air box in the boot
It now sounds very nice, quality speakers for vocals and good for bass (y) really do rate rockford stuff :)

Future Plans:
Adjust Suspension
Rear wheels Spacered
17" 15 Spoke fiat alloys

thats all, Any comments/suggestions welcome
Nice, they genuine?
no mate, dont think they made genuine ones in this fitment, even if they did i couldnt afford them :p

Which bbs alloys are these?
Theyre ch's :)

Bare with me on this one..............gold?
i was actually thinking about gold, but i dont know if im brave enough :( when theyre on ill do a photoshop with all the options


wheels will be on when i can find someone in coventry with a torque wrench and a jack :) dont have the money to go home to do it :(
 
Like the 430 scuderia gold wheel colour? Ive seen a red 500 Abarth with that colour on (y) Looked the dogs bollo.....cks

Maybe the gold that Dlightswitch has on his Rotas:

I've not seen the scuderia gold but was thinking something abit more like this: http://www.dieselstation.com/wallpa...06/Volkswagen-Thunder-Bunny-SEMA-2006-005.jpg


What size are they?
If there reps where did you get them from?

They're 17's and reps, got them on ebay used so cant link you to more :(




My mate should be bringing his jack and torque wrench up to uni next week so they wheels should be on then! :)
 
i quite like that colour :) that goes in the maybe pile :p
good news is, got them on :) bad news is, went to a garage to check align my front camber as its miles out! but they said it cant be adjusted on grandes?? is that true? if so does anyone else have -1.4deg on the left and +0.7 on the right??

heres 2 photos anyway, will get better ones soon :)

Nice wheels spray them blaco they will look wicked then.
nice car!!
 
I dont think ill be painting them for a while, they really suit the car as they are :D very happy with them, as soon as i can clean it, ill get some good photos :)

Yeah camber can be adjusted, ive got my front wheels in a little to tuck my tyre in the arch better, the rears show camber when you lower any car.
Could you tell me how? or a garage that did it for you :)


Wheels suit the car really well! lovin the fastcar dustcaps too:D
haha yeah, had to put them on, got some purple dice coming soon though :)
 
Love the BBS wheels on the GP.
About the camber: KW coilovers have larger holes in the struts so you can adjust the camber by slyding the kingpinbolts backward (don't really know how to explain it better in english :( ) . Don't know if the FK coilovers have this feature.
