Grande Punto My first car, Sporting GP 1.4 16v

Some state

Looks OK mate !


As you said the wheels definitely need a refurb, and the mods to have lined up are good however how old are you as this is your first car I'm guessing your quite young ? Things such as the induction kit might not be a good idea for you if your under 20 ! Purely due to insurance expense !

Best colour

Just turned 20, the induction kit is more of a future thing to do.

Smart looking car already mate I know photos cant really do a car justice but the body work looks fine in the photos

I would have loved this to have been my first car


As for your plans...

• de-badged grill

Not my cup of tea but then again this is not my car, never been a fan of debadged grills on any car

• panel filter

I got one for my 8v. Very cheap and easy to do mod. People would argue the benefits but I would say ignore them and go for it. I got a K&N panel filter (no induction kit) and I swear it drives and sounds better. People may say thats a placebo but for a placebo it keeps me happy

• induction kit

Do it

• lowering springs

What were you thinking of getting? people on here seem to always recommend eibach sportlines and I think i've seen a few with apex springs

• glossy black roof wrap

GPs with black roofs look awesome

• tint back & side windows

Good idea

• pioneer stereo

GP owners seem to be raving about the pioneer headunits, so much that i may have to invest in one myself. I notice halfords are selling a tidy looking pioneer headunit for £70

Cheers for the advice mate. There's a panel on the left hand side wheel arch that needs to be popped out & that's all, didn't put up a photo of it.

The panel filter sounds like the easiest way to go for now! What was the specific type you got ? I was looking at one but it said "Tjet" compared to my star-jet.. Not sure if it will fit ?

As for the lowering springs, not sure who to go with as of yet. That's still a few months away so I'll need to do some looking around on here first!
