[chrisunoman]

You want to get a set of 17s on it now

 

[welshboy84]

HE HE yer the thought of sellin it or part/exin it had come to mind, i REALLY want a 3dr 1.2 16v sporting! any1 wana swap??? heh, its only done 14k and its got 4 brand new tyres (not in pics), new brakes all round, new exhaust and a ful sony system (head unit and 6x9's) ANY TAKERS!!! PLZ!!! ha ha

 

[wolfracepunto]

the insurance on that sporting will be alot more than what ur paying now (if uve just passed ur test and got no NCB)
the active is IG3 and the sporting is IG6........
just stick some 17's on and lower it

EVERYONE- SPRAY YOUR PUNTOS BLACK

Hei.

The car looks great. A nice set of wheels, and a little lowering would do wonders. Personally I'd never trade a 5-door for a 3-door. The body is stiffer due rear door mounting, and so damn much more practical. I think they should make sport variants of cars with 5 doors as well as 3 doors. Think of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale EVO, 5 doors and 200+ BHP.

gas lowered on abarth wheels. upgraded interior and visuals. audio through phoenix gold and kenwood.

projects: air in and out.

 

[wolfracepunto]

surely the 5 door isnt stiffer- its got 2 big holes in the rear for the doors!!!

i reckon ur car would look good with 17" tsw razor......

EVERYONE- SPRAY YOUR PUNTOS BLACK

Alright, you are propably right as I've only read what I wrote. Someone once claimed to me that inserting an Uno Turbo engine in a 5-door Uno was smarter due to stiffer 5-door body vs 3-door.

A three door is stiffer in the same way a hardtop is stiffer than a soft top, more structure, less holes. There may of course be exceptions to this.

As for this car, its tidy as it is, I'd personally not spend too much on it, save your money till when a sporting is more within your reach then trade up, maybe just go with a set of alloys now, they set any car off, and keep playing with your ice, the beauty of these mods is you can transfer them across when you do move to a sporting.

Anyway, good effort for your first car, my first car was a brown Chevette[8D]

Stilo TURBO!!!!(diesel)

 

[welshboy84]

Yer i dont plan on spending much on this simply because a kitted car devalues at part-ex, i'm in the process of obtaining some TSW Razor's (http://www.motor-world.co.uk/images/hires/5901.jpg) i think jus a backbox and a drop will be enuff for this motor.
Then when ive reached the midway stage in my finance i will surrender the policy and go staight to fiat and get a nice shiny new black sporting

 

[welshboy84]

PHEW!!! ha ha, jus washed my car and it took less time than i had estimated.
So i thought to myself "what shall i do now" and i came to the conclusion.....
SCRUB THE ENGINE BAY!! (damn it was VERY DIRTY!) but i forgot to take before pics DAMN! heh
anyways after a good 2-3 hours this is what it now looks like!
(remember..it was filthy b4 heh)

 

[wolfracepunto]

see!!!! i told u to get some tsw razors!!!! they are really nice wheels i used to have 15" on my punto. are u after these or 17"?

EVERYONE- SPRAY YOUR PUNTOS BLACKDavid

 

[welshboy84]

yeah im after 15" at the moment, i'll have a new job in 3 weeks so i'm 50/50 as to whether or not to buy 15's now or wait like 4-5 weeks and get 17's, hmmmmmm 17's would look soooo much better tho

 

[chrisunoman]

I vote for the 17s lol

 

[wolfracepunto]

go for the 17's. even tho the 15's look ok ul regret not buyin them- i did when i saw other cars with the 17's

EVERYONE- SPRAY YOUR PUNTOS BLACKDavid
