Hey,

Got plenty of plans:

• Remap to around the 170bhp and 270 lb ft
• BMC Panel Filter (Fitted)
• Medium smoke tint on rear windows
• Tint Rear lights slightly
• Refurb alloys in gun metal colour
• Get centre dash strip wrapped gloss black and paint inserts red
• Dash light colour change (smd conversion, dunno how to get this done on the punto)
• Lower on eibachs at some point
• Some other little changes
• Paint calipers...... Any suggestions on colour please.....

Ordered:

• Millers Diesel fuel treatment, really worked well on the petrol corsa so why not
• 3rd Brake light cover thats stenciled "Punto"
• Team Heko wind deflectors
• LED Numberplate lights
• Silvatecs for front
• Sound deadening mat, going to use on front door cards and boot
• Blaupunkt speakers for front doors

Anyone got any other ideas, anything welcome

All good apart from the brake light cover :yuck:

ooh red badges!

Hehe might not fit it tbh was only 1.99.

Might change to red badges, but I can imagine the back one being a bugger to get off.

Ordered some mtec cosmos headlights and some led canbus safe sidelights.

Fitted silvatecs and bmc filter.

Yeah when I had my 1.2 I bought that....let me tell you now, its sooooo cheap it doesnt even fit properly.

Nahh not at all. The easiest way is to get a flat headed screw driver, put a thin piece of cloth over it (so you dont scratch your bodywork) and pry it off. Easy as!

whats its bhp as standard?

maby a new custom exhaust to help with bhp gain?

Ahh right puntobooth, might do it eventually then

130bhp, I might get the one of the cats removed in the future. Its non dpf which im happy about

getting from 130 to 175 would be great lol, pluss with the stuff you would have to do to it , it would sound like a beast afterwards

Doubtfull it is a diesel, would sound like a beefy tank if I decatted it

Fitted LED numberplate lights today.

But missed 2 packages, my wind deflectors and sound deadening will pick them up tomorrow.

i dno, when my dad wacks his 535 into m sport mode thats an automatic and a diesel it makes a racket but that is a 3.5 ltr bmw lol

and its been re-mapped and stuff :yum:

i bet it will still sound nice and fast for a 1.9

Yeah tbh it probably would, dads merc sounds nice thats a diesel.

Its pretty quick as it is, so much torque no need to thrash it.

remap it and leave the rest of the "chav it up" mods,

you'll need the money for a new clutch

Ill do as i like tbf thankyou

Not unless you screw the power right up. Map it to were its safe around 165-170 and youll have no problems with the clutch.

Had my redot remap 35,000 miles ago, clutch, dmf and gearbox all fine.

Just be gentle with it.

Have you got a picture of your LED numberplate bulbs at night? Which ones did you use?

When you said third brake light punto cover it really made me laugh, and the first thing that came to mind was Vimto Rolf lol. Anyone who's been around a while will understand lol.

Anyway, sounds like you have listed some good mods there.

Eibach sport lines are quite popular and really transform the handling of this car.

I've never seen an smd conversion on the GP. My mate has an Astra coupe 1.9, and he had an smd conversion - oh my god looks awesome

Good luck with the mjet anyway mate

Yeah not fitting the cover

Yeah I know the eibachs are good from the corsa forum. Not as good as my spax I had but they wernt exactly comfotable lol.

Changed Numberplate light leds to bright white bulbs, same with sidelights, no error code yay.

Also fitted Mtec cosmos headlights. Fitted new front door speakers.

Looking for new head unit now.

Lastly just waiting on a reply for the SMD conversion from a guy on the corsa forum, it should be fairly simple to do though.

Plans for the car sound good. Would deffinetely get the red badges and spray the top grille black. Where did you get the wind deflectors? I have been looking for team heko ones but cant find them anywhere!
