I've been meaning to start a thread on Fiona for a while so here we go sorry for lack of pics on some areas!
This is how I found her! Been sat in the corner of a parking lot after being there for 4 years! Covered in moss and with a knackered ECU meaning she only ran on 2 cylinders I bought her for £200 a year ago! I fixed the ECU for £100 and she ran sweet as a nut! Turns out she had only done 31512 miles! So a bargain all in all! I was the 3rd owner after 2 previous lady owners with full service history.
I got her home after a steam clean and a polish and she looked like this!
Overall the paint was mint and the car in General was perfect!
So whilst I was waiting to get a license I set to some slight mods first was the back end, starting with some debadging and de-wipe ring, looking like this.
Much better! So I moved to the next mod with was making Fiona lighter, bye bye back seats!
Next was HIDs
So at this point I had Fiona on the road but because the insurer I was with (co-op with black box, who it suggest to never go with!) it lasted 3 months and she was back off the road for another 6 months until I was 18! (July)
So more modding was to be done!
So next was the sporting wheels getting refurbed in gunmetal grey with abarth centre caps to finish them off!
Then I bought a abarth spoiler for £30 on ebay, just a test fit later to get resprayed and fitted
A big off topic now but a good friend of mine wrote off his punto active! :O (he was fine!)
On the up hand I got a set of 14" wheels for £70 got these refurbed in gunmetal grey again. Looking a bit like this.
Now on the car with 20mm lowering suspension, looking a lot more smarter!
Now been to 2 MI meets and have a fair few more mods that I haven't mentioned
Much more on the to-do list! (Visual and performance wise) so watch this space! Many more things to come (and with more pics from now on!)
