Looking good mate, all I can recommend is changing the front bumper to an original one as it looks a bit chavish. also, either lowering the front to give it a nicer stance or putting the back up a few mm.

Looks like a nice upgrade, bet it shifts? :( Jealous really as I would love one of theses but by the time insurance will be able to insure me for a reasonable amount they'll all be Forked. :(
 
very nice my friend, do you know what power its running atm ?
and it looks more like the Punto Leather = RARE!

Cheers mate not quite sure yet..prob around 160-170ish coz its on standard turbo

The bumper is actually growing on me :eek: 160 is still amazing in a car that is just shy of a tonne? Not bad at all.

I've been looking at the Renault Sports (they are group 16) with as much power as a GT, with figures of £2,300 for insurance.

The GT on the other hand has insurance quotes of over £11,000 :bang:

Where as a New Clio Sport 200 (Most decent car magazines best car of the year 2010) I'm getting quotes for £1,800 on a new car :confused: Insurance is a pain in the arse.

Same i wasnt sure then grew...WTF???thats fcuked up GTs are insurance group 14 though...but thats insurance for ya
 
loool not as good as the sporting but will no doubt change in time



yea for power but body is imacculate:D yea pulls like a train...it doesnt die off just keeps going then you change and get the "tiiiiish" loool(y)

And a headgasket later ;) If you want the tish, Find out the exact rpm the turbo spools up and peaks, then let off the accelerator :rolleyes:
 
reason why i and most other drivers cant get insured on a GT is due to that fact its a 'Turbo' on a group 14...but what i really dont get is, how the hell can i get insured on a Alfa 156 V6 192HP Group 16 for £800/yr..

makes no sense what so ever
 
shame, my sei was just getting to the point where i reckon it could have kept up with the old punto, and then you go get this!

looks like im gonna have to s/charge mine now ;)

oh and i am DEFO coming for a run up and down the top strip in this, text me when youre taking it to lakeside. :p

when you gonna get it on the rollers?
ill take mine with, we can see what theyre both putting out :D
