Well i have about 6 months until i get insured again so really over that period about a grand or so maybe a little more but i plan on doing most of the work myself so its just parts other than a few bits and bobs
 
i was going to suggest a set of cams but a good set are like 700EUR so thats most of your budget gone, cone/panel filter will free up a bit of low down torque in the 1.6, a custom catback will probably free up a little more as for big gain mods unfortunately your budget is kind of the limiting factor, theres not a whole lot of stuff available for the 1.6 but you'd be into cams and remaps for +20BHP gains
 
I emailed cat cams and am waiting for them to get back to me im just going to get as much done as i can cheers
 
I saw sonething about the punto grande bushes being the same as the stilo
 
If theyre anything like the Nuovo Bravo iirc the front wishbones and ARB are different. ..

Ive been meaning to email them to ask them because im interested but ive never gotten round to it
