Grande Punto Blue 1.2 GP, First car.

Introduction

Hi Guys
As it states in the title this is my first car. I bought her 7 months ago and have been on the forums seeking inspiration and ideas, Just never got round to posting a thread. When I first bought her she was in terrible condition :/ had a dint in the rear wing....which is still there, and a scuff on the front bumper. Also came equipped with some rather tatty aftermarket alloys on, which were removed immediately for some steelies. After that the interior was next which was horrible and stunk of dogs :/ so I stripped it out and replaced with the whole sporting interior :D. At the same time I fitted a new tailgate because the old one had several tiny dints in, plus the new one has a spoiler. Next was the head/tail lights which are the front Abarths cluster and rear Evo cluster. Then lowerd it thanks to a guy on here, RusZ? The next major mod was the new sporting alloys, bought for £200! bargain, only one has a little scuff too! The rest are just small cheap mods vinyl, ariel, badges and wind deflectors ect. Maybe only a 1.2 but I love it!

Hi
I had the lights for ages and was putting off installing them because I heard they was a nightmare. But all you have to do is snip some plastic off the new connector and and they work fine, however there will be a light on the dash so its best to get a load resistor to make up for the LEDs. Then they will work perfectly.
 
Car looks awesome mate love the evo lights on it and I think I need a set of them alloys! Any idea what they're called? I've been very fussy with wheels and have struggled finding any I like. I think I need these! Lol

Thanks :) as far as I know they are the option sporting alloys off the later model. I was looking at the fork alloys then i seen these and i just had to get them :D
 
Yeah I can imagine! I've got the starjet and mine drinks at least £45 a week I doubt I could afford to run the TJet lol they are very nice alloys though. Suppose I only need one kidney anyway ;)
 
Just a quick update. Car passed MOT yesterday, no advisories :) still got my abarth backbox to get fitted too, keep putting it off for some reason. Also got some sporting alloys for a steal, probably refurb and fit them when the weather picks up as im on my steelies atm.
