Just a bit of the subject here. I forgot to say my first mod was a spoiler, i stuck it on with araldite(stronger superglue), it flew off on the dual carriage way, straight under a lorry and smashed into bits, I was thinking of calling the the rate my drive number, cause he should of driven round it!!!!!!!!
Theres a moral to this story follow the instructions and use the bits that come with it.

First mod on my Fiat was the Punto alloys; although I didn't fit them. Previous owner gets the credit for that!
I've fitted a removable CD player / tweeters in the front and an alarm. I've tinted the side repeaters, too.
Seats need replacing next! Really want a pair of Cinq sporting seats![8D]
A couple of Abarth stickers may just end up on her too! Yes I know there aren't any Abarth parts on her...but she's a Panda - you can't take them seriously! [)] They are a fun car!!

1st mod: threw out the Maystar radio cassette and replaced it with a Blaupunkt Montreux. The whole shebang slides out so it's pretty secure ...
2nd mod: replaced the weird Ducellier distributor with a Marelli electronic one from a 4x4. I was getting fed up of spending £40+ replacing the points (I had to replace half the distributor body)
3rd mod: Replaced the rusty brake pipes with Automec copper ones and all brass unions. Added braided flexible pipes. There is no servo so I need all the help I can get here ....
4th mod: when I get "A Round Tuit" I will replace my knackered 4-speed gearbox with a 5-speeder.
5th mod: (suggested by my family) take it to Podder's (our local scrapyard) and get them to flatten it ... NO! NO! NO!
Okay, I'll shut up now.

The first "Mod" I did was Pete Townsend. He staggered across the road holding his ears after a 10 minute Keith Moon drum solo during a live performance of Wont Get Fooled Again.
Second "Mod" I did was Rod Stewart, I mounted the pavement as he dismounted a blonde
The last "mod" I did was Bruce Foxton as he was whingeing about Paul Weller dumping the Jam and just had to be run over.
Did I miss something??

The first mod i did on my first fiat a few years ago now was to put a concrete paving slab in the front boot/bonnet on my X/19 to stop understeer.
The fit was that good i sold the car with it in 18 months later

first 'mod' i ever did was fitting my alloy gear knob and leather gaiter, which i did within 3 hours of picking the car up. Then i fitted a punto SX centre console in (it was a basic 60s). Er...that was it then as i was perpetually skint...a situation inherent today.

Tell me about it Ritchie. That's why I drive (ha ha ha!) a beaten-up old Panda ... but still love her even though she hasn't moved for 10 months ...

1st mod: Replacing the Cigar Lighter
2nd mod: Smoked side repeaters
3rd mod: sticking an "MC" oval sticker on the back (Monaco)... I can but dream it would mean tax exemption!

Mine had to be the ice. After previously being in a band and having a love of stupidly loud music but not being allowed due to having a wife and two kids (pram space etc), I got divorced, bought a bravo and threw in an amp and a couple of subs! Worth the solicitor bills already!!

So named as I was the drummer in the original line up and looked like animal from the muppet show with my bright red hair.
We even supported 'the verve' once
