Cool thanks.

What about graphics? Stripes etc...
should i bother, because i dont realy think any of the stripe colours would go with the light blue :\

realy wish it was another colour
 
silver stripes? or maybe black to go with alloys.

and mate if in doubt ring your insureance and declare it, it may not increase premium but always declare anything you do to change your car from standard.
 
you realy think black or silver would go with that light blue colour? im not sure :S

and yeah no worries i will

Paint your brake callipers makes such a different, gives it that sporty feel. Def no on the bodykit. Tints would look cool but cos it is a light colour I would go for light tints, dark will look odd. I got the same interior- its well nice and I've installed blue LED neons in the footwell which really set it off. There is a guide in the GP section.
 
Forget the body kit, would probably barely move with all that weight. Spend your money on lowering, induction kit and some nice alloys. Then will be an all round better drive! I'm sure you will enjoy your GP experience!
 
I read the first post..

And all I can say is. I hoped these cars would stay out of budget for chav's for just a while longer - but oh well!
 
As above. You say you love the design of the car but then you want to put some chavvy corsa esque bodykit on it that will ruin the look of the car.

You keep asking if you made the right choice, how are we supposed to tell you yes or no? Its all down to personal preference at the end of the day. But because you keep asking and to me looks like you are doubting it then i would say you have made the wrong choice on colour because if you were happy with it then you wouldnt give a **** what anyone else thought.
 
Im not going to put the bodykit on, ive realised that.
im just going to add some nice alloys, im just not sure i made the right choice, as the colour of the car looks a little... plain, would of loved a black one but when i saw a dynamic at 4k how could i resist! even if it was in that colour. 1 pervious lady owner, and full service history, it had all the toys, blue&me, parking sensors, powerassisted steering and so on... allot nicer then the actives i was looking at which where more expensive.

but it was just the wrong colour :\

By the way, im not a chav, i just wanted your opinions... sorry.

Nowt wrong with the colour, but as the other guys say, it's your money, and your perference that counts, so if you're not sure about the colour, then once you buy it, you're stuck with it till you sell it!! for a guy getting his first car, i think its perfect for you!! as for modding, i would hold off for a year or two till you decide weither you're keeping it or trading it in for something better!! however, if you can't wait, then go for lowering, 17" alloys, and a set of sporting sideskirts(try scrappies??) and prehaps an induction kit, and if the colour is still bugging you, stick a stripe on!! lol:p

Yeah i supose, it just seems a bit of a plain colour, i am thrilled with the car, i cant wait till it gets here, i dont think i will lower it as it sounds like a big expensive job, i definatly will put 17" on though, perhaps some sporting sideskirts will look nice ill keep my eyes peeled.
I know i will bang my head against the wall for asking this but what is an induction kit? and i dont think any stripes would go with that colour :\

hmm, maybe just the alloys for now then untill my insurance goes down a bit more.
Im having trouble understanding which dynamic it is, the book says its a 1.2 but it has 6 gears???? and only the 1.4 has 6 gears, I will have to look at the engine when it gets here, is there any way i can tell?
I personaly think the guarage has made a big mistake, not only was it already underpriced but i think they got the specs wrong as well lol

Thanks :)

yeah, but i can still drive the car on this insurance deal im getting, it just means that an adult with a driving licence has to be with me when i do.

But the only mods im planning on doing is alloys, lowering, maybe tints and i like the look of this induction kit you can get. after that i will make it up as i go along.

I put it in that site and it says
MakeFIATModelPUNTO DYNAMIC SPORT 16VTransmission & fuel typeMANUAL 6 GEARS PETROLBody Type3 DOOR HATCHBACK

So the guarage must of made a mistake lol, they thought i was getting a discounted 1.2 dynamic and they gave me a 1.4 dynamic sport worth even more :D
I just wwwiiiiiiiiiisssssssssshhhhhhhhhh it was in another colour :( but what can you do... i hear getting it sprayed is VERY expensive and apparently they have to take the car to bits? and if i get it sprayed the interia will look odd so i wont bother lol.

I also checked the insurance with direct line, theres not much difference there either :) im beggining to like this car :p

well moaning about the colour on a forum isnt going to make it change to a better colour so either get a refund or get a respray or just deal with it.
