Nice

love an orange GP. Vinyl wrap behind the number plate and it'll look much better!

Nice car Gr3g mate it looks awsome.

Love it so far, future plans sound great as well.

What paint did you use to paint the engine cover? I've always wanted to do that but I was afraid it would look bad or get ruined.

If you wanted to do a bit more to the interior you could paint the plastic dash strips, steering wheel cover, speedo surround

Gr3g · Apr 26, 2012

Cheers for the comments guys

!

Have bin thinking bout the vinyl idea but quite like it how it is at the minute, thtll be one of the things i do wen im bored n av ticked everythin else off my list haha.

I Just used one of the fiat touch up things for the engine cover dude. Looks like a bottle of nail varnish haha. Gave it a sand down then about 5 coats of paint n 3 coats of lacquer, was a bit worried about it myself what with the heat of the engine but i did it a month ago n its still fine

Sexy as.........f**k. Orange GP's ftw

Gr3g · May 27, 2012

Havent updated this in a while so thought id do a quick one, have fitted my nightbreaker bulbs, ten times better than the crappy stock bulbs which are like candles in a jam jar.

Wind deflectors finally came so got them on. Also changed my painted rear badge back to the original red one which i thkink looks alot cleaner.

Got some tmc tinted side repeaters on order and gonna be ordering some abarth headlights in the next week or two cuz ive decided i dont like the fly eyes lol.

Will get some pics up wen i can next get hold of my girlfriends camera lol.

All sounding nice mate. Looking forward to seeing some pictures of it.

Gr3g · Jul 19, 2012

Update!

Fitted abarth headlights, look sooooo much better than fly eyes!

Sprayed my grill matte black as it was starting to fade and look a bit grey in places.

And put a big furry orange dice in ma back window lol!

Will get some pics asap.

Sean23491 · Jul 25, 2012

Car looks sweet, love the orange colour coding.
How long did it take to fit the Abarth Headlights?

Gr3g · Jul 25, 2012

Cheers mate!

Took about 2 hours, could probly get it done quicker but i wasnt in a rush.

Cant decide whether to jus keep the fly eyes on the rear lights, ava go at them with a few light coats of tinting spray or get the abarth rears, what do u guys think?

Sean23491 · Jul 25, 2012

Im going to have a good go tonight at my headlights then

cheers

I think tintin looks good on rear lights if done properly, would love to have the Abarth rear lights but at £100 there not as cheap as spray. Saving up for some myself

So I would say if you haVe the money to get them

Matthewr1990 · Jul 25, 2012

I have the black sticker on the 3rd break light with the punto logo. seriously underestimated how cool this looks of a night.

Gr3g · Jul 25, 2012

Yea the brake light cover looks wicked man! And cheap as chips!

Think i might remove the fly eyes n whack sum tinting spray on n if i dnt like it get the abarths!

Sean23491 · Jul 26, 2012

Well tinting spray on mine has worked fine

I am goingto get the Abarths though at some point will finish the car off
