Hi everyone,

New to the forum and it looks like a great place to get some help and info!!!

Thought i'd show you my Grande Punto 1.4 16v Sporting in carribean orange... looking to get a powerflow exhaust system and a K&N 57i ar filter or a BCA carbon one....i guess the ultimate question is , do you think 18" black alloys would look good?? i was looking at the Kei Racing Alloys, Force 10's or Pulse ???? or should i stay with chrome/silver alloys???

Hoping to debage and put black abarth badges on also....

What do you think???

Thanks for you advice

Alex

guilford not too far from me!

black alloys on the orange would look lovely especially with the stripes!
if you private message a guy called oldschool on the forum he makes gsr induction kits and i have only heard good things about them, i have got a k&n though and is great. black abarth badges would really set the back off, and do a search about removing the punto badge there are lots of pictures somewhere! its a good thing to do to the gp in my eyes.

anyways welcome and lovely car, although i am sure some people will have something to say about the shopping list on the side of the car but i don't think it looks bad.

lose the shopping list

i have black alloys, look sweet :yum:

stripes look good but the shopping list is a big no, get rid, so chav

Welcome mate!

Yeh I think black 18s would fit well. And stripes look great - I wanted to do mine a while ago but changed my mind last minute. Were they hard to put on?

thanks for the feedback...the stripes took a whole day to put on cutting them for each section etc.. then making it all smooth...in the end i think the result was successful! i am agreein on the black alloys also

Very nice motor mate!

They arent the gen fiat stripes are they?

Keep an eye in the styling section for pics of the one i done as our showroom demo! pics will be uploaded soon

Car looks good mate. Im a big fan of black alloys, hence mine. I think they will suit your GP really well. Liking the stripe as well, i think it has to be done well in order to look right and yours fits the bill.

Good work.

I thought they come already-cut? Where did you buy them from?

welcome to the forum

nah don't like the stripes. i don't really like black alloys, they just seem to blend in with the tyres, and at the night u can't even see them. you want them to stand out

Try the dealer LC motors in Newport - he did a nationwide search for me - located a car in swindon which i then bought.
What part of S Wales are you in.

thanks Nicky

I can not believe your dealer is having so much trouble in tracking one down, it really shouldnt be that hard. You may have mentioned this already but are you looking for new or used?

If thats the case why cant your local dealer do a factory order for one. The best thing to do is go onto www.fiatsupasaver.com and pick the car you want in the colour you want with the options you want, print it off and take it to them for a price match. If they say they cant then say you will go elsewhere because plenty of people will.

get black alloys and also get the windows nice and dark, that would look mint!
