Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

How much do you reckon that will cost?

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

you can get the gaiters on italian ebay for about £20

dont know about the steering wheel, just have to ask specialist breakers to see if any have come in i think i saw 1 on ebay once, i think it was around £70

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Oh I see, that's not too bad is it a simple job to change the steering wheel over? Won't it muck up my airbag? Or is it just a cover? I'm dumb with this sort of stuff

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

i wouldnt have thought itd be too hard, as long as youve got the same steering wheel controls it should be a simple change
just remember it you do it, disconnect your battery first you dont want the airbag going off in your face

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Lmao that would be me typically forget to do that and then BAM airbag goes off in my face. I'm still looking into doing my boot build but just ain't ha the chance to even measure my boot

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

ive heard it done before
decided what you want yet?

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Yeah I've seen a build that I like on here but I'm not going to copy it im just going to take some of the ideas I'm still unsure whether to put 6x9's into a stealth shelf or not it's actually hard deciding what to do lol

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

personally i wouldnt, my brother in law works for an audio company thats done most of the car audio security cars and he always persuades his customers from doing that as it distorts the sound of the sub or something
if you want something thats just loud then go 6x9's but if you want quality spend more money on the door speakers or a good amp

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Yeah that's handy to know, I've got vibe speakers in my car just had them fitted and there decent for the price I payed for them but I'm looking at getting two subs and a good amp, just gotta get the measurements for my boot so I can get the mdf and start building it, im always at work so I never get time to do anything to my car anymore it annoys me so much. You got any plans for yours apart from getting the original fiat alloys?

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

good idea i put it on coilies yesterday (will get some pics soon) apart from that its going to stay as it is until im ready to sell it. may do a couple of small changes to it but nothing planned at the moment

 

[Riichard92]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

selling it? what you looking to get after it?

 

[gpactivesport]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

yeah well when im at uni i want something that wont loose much value and will have good consumption so i was think of either a golf or polo 1.9tdi

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

your insurance will cost a bomb on that, considering my car insurance renewal was £8000 on a 1.2 lol

 

[gpactivesport]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

youve been done! mine was £1600 fully comp but have mum, dad and sister on the policy
mines insurance group 10, polos 13 so with a years no claims (touch wood) it shouldnt be too much, have to wait and see may end up keeping it for another year

 

[Riichard92]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Yeah tell me about it well and truly done but I've found a quote for 1900 but the only problem is no females in my family drive so that's why my insurance is so expensive I want a new car and I've only had this car for like 6 months lol

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

yeah there lovely cars but without the turbo there a little boring

 

[Riichard92]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Should deffo stay with the good old punto can't go wrong with it did you manage to sell your alloys or do a trade cause I seen it in the classifieds

 

[gpactivesport]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

not in any rush, just waiting for the right set to come up
if you know anyone that wants a trade, point them in my direction

 

[Riichard92]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

remember there alot heavier than most after-market ones, might not do your gearbox any good :| might not make much difference, just something to think about
