Grande Punto 1.9 sporting

Introduction

I got this car about 2 1/2 years ago. It had 45k on the clock and was in alright condition. I absolutely loved it for a while then I just got bored and sick of it. It starting getting a few things that needed sorting but i've decided to make a thread to show my journey with the car :). I realised the other day that I do actually really like my car and I am really lucky to have it!

What I have done;
Lamin x the rear lights
Vinyl behind number plate
Painted the calipers
Blue LED interior lights
LED side lights and number plate
Sprayed the plastic trim on bonnet
Team heko wind deflectors
Dieseluk tuning box


Im sure there has been a few things I have missed. Hopefully all the pics get them :)

So there are a few things I have had to get sorted with this car.
New anti roll bar
New droplink
New battery
New caliper

But this car has covered 65k miles now so I am expecting a few wear and tear items that will need doing. I have just had it serviced too so the car is running a lot smoother.

These are the things I need to get sorted;
Alloy wheels are going to get refurbished in anthracite
Heater needs sorting out as it only works on setting 4
New pollen filter is getting fitted
I am getting some continental contact 3s fitted in about a week.
There are some stone chips and scratches I will be getting out too. Looking at getting the paints4u scratch master kit, so if anyone has tried this then I would love to know how it performs

There hasn't been a lot happening here. I've been looking after the car and making sure it is clean. I got a nice treat to a photoshoot last night with my dad who is really into his photography. So once he gets the images sorted I will post them :) in terms to changes in the car I have ordered forge brace bars, love them or hate them guys they are hear to stay. I will be changing the brakes to ebc when they need replacing also I am thinking of getting a bmc panel filter. Here is a little teaser pic

So I am looking to change the speakers in the car, got the right sizes but I need to know the power output of the standard H.U so i know what watt speakers to get. Also I have been looking at changing the brakes, from a lot of research I will more than likey get Brembo OEM on the back, EBC turbo groove on the front and greenstuff all round. I have checked with the insurance and surprisingly this will actually lower my insurance, result! After that I will be looking at getting a Forge intercooler next year or Eibach springs depends which one I fancy when I have the money.

God it has took ages to get somewhere where I want to be in regards to mods!
