Grande Punto White Grande Sporting.

Introduction

just the 2 pics so far got few things doing before i get some more, hopefully have them done within next couple weeks ;)

tis a 1.9 mjet sporting

re: White Grande Sporting

thanks for comments guys!

yes that be me :) on about a billion different forums for various cars i've owned and few others as jk.

shopping list so far, already got cupra splitter sitting in garage (been working since i picked car up) will fit sunday pos! , linea grille will order tomorrow, waiting til done a good couple thousand miles then visit red dot and gsr for tuning ;) waiting for a scuff or need tires replacing then getting wheels refurbed at spit'n'polish in anthracite like the style of the wheels dont wanna change them, already de-punto'd boot and taken blue stickers off, will probably get tints darker and waiting for some abarth rear lights to come up on ebay dont like the pinkness off standard ones.
most im guna spend on this one is £2k and gotta be concious of warranty

was also considering some lester wings with the vents but dont think they would suite. lots of other small ideas!

A nice detail there, is dodo juice as good as everyone claims? I need to try dod juice banana armour I'm going to wait until i run out of my clearkote stuff first.
 
re: White Grande Sporting

im told it does similar job to polish but removes all the oils and reminants of the polish with it. paint feels really smooth and glossy after first time i've used it though
 
re: White Grande Sporting

cars lookin nice! (y) the tints dont look very dark at all, although im not one for limo tints i would have thought theyd be darker. is that a clubman estate? or just a traveller?
 
re: White Grande Sporting

clubman estate, but is also a clubman gt and 1100 clubman on the drive, and in the garage a 998 clubman 34yrs old with 23k on the clock and a shell of a mini pickup in process of being built.

my dads, mums, bros and we all own the classic one. my dad and my bro are rebuilding the pickup inbetween working
 
re: White Grande Sporting

sounds good, i had big plans for my mini just never the cash. but at some point i want a clubman estate with the v-tec conversion!
 
re: White Grande Sporting
