Grande Punto My 56 Grande Punto. Needs mods..

Avoid the chrome mirrors and handles.
Some sporting alloys, skirts and spoiler? Lowering springs? I'd say thats a good way to start if you want to avoid the 'chav' look.

:yeahthat:
Check for cupra splitter...cheap and simple mod.
The rear lights are also beautifull ( i use those too...)
The xenon fog lights would help...in...well...nothing actually. I made that mistake too, and i regret it every time i run through myst. IMO skip that idea and spend that money on something better.

All mods sound good, although bear in mind that aftermarket HID's from now are MOT fails

just get xenon bulbs, which are far better than standard

17's, lowering, tinting and a splitter are what I have planned for my car externally for now

all pretty subtle and not chavvy or halfordsy IMO

Aren't xenon lights supposed to help when going through mist?

Is there anyway to get xenon lights without aftermarket kits? (Other than xenon-like bulbs).

Unless you want to spend a fortune on fitting headlight washers, self levelling and specific housing, the bulbs are the only option

Well i have the halfords top end performance ones, they were about £23 each but on permanent buy one get one free, very white light and much better than standard bulbs

and then I have the MTEC sidelight bulbs, also very white although light output isnt huge, they are more for show than anything.

That is what i thought too, but i was proved wrong...

jamied92 · Jan 9, 2012

Xenon bulbs fitted, much better than stock bulbs! Ordered some MTEC Sidelights too! :slayer:

Just wondering, will I be able to fit fog lights without it being classed as a mod that needs declaring to the insurance company?

You need to ask your own insurance company. You probably will have to declare it but all insurers are different

smokeyjoe03 · Jan 9, 2012

You'll probably find if you fit them and declare them the insurance company won't care anyway.

As for the mods, my cars is the same colour as your's, check my members motors thread to see the mods I've done.

Hey, I just joined the forum. I have exactly the same car as you, and smokyjoe, originally came looking for ICE advice, but now found so much inspiration for stuff I want to do. Had a Seat Ibiza before my GP, which I'd modded, Looking forward to starting again now.

I'd say put a little roof spoiler on it and some skirts. Pretty subtle but will make a big difference to the look. You could get it striped up, nicer alloys and paint the calipers. All these things will also give you at least 20 more BHP

. Just be careful not to get into chav territory. I have one too, I'm just going to respray my current alloys for a two tone look, put some red alloy protectors and spray the calipers red.

Persoanlly detango is nice and cheap and maybe a dewiper with a nice plug, preferably removing the rear wiper (if you like ne and don't use it).

Hi everyone i myself have 07 plate grande punto 1.3 bought a month or so ago and wanted to add alloys but have no idea what to look for in size width etc
Will going upto 17" affect the ride, speedo or other aspects
Thanks
