Grande Punto Another red T-Jet (:

Introduction

I thought i'd share my Grande with everyone as it seems to be the thing to do (y)

Anyway i've had the car around 2 months now and love every bit of it, one night I drove my friends (GotGrande) and I just had to get one, was a great upgrade! Cleaned the car over the weekend and thought it was time to get some pictures up.

Only thing changed is debadged boot but got a couple of things to buy when money becomes available :)
Let me know what you think :)

MISC1691 would you not be better off using the same oil as the GP t-jet which I believe is 5w 40 mate? I could be totally wrong mate but its just a thought :) but if its just a small top up until it gets serviced I cant see the 5w 40 doing any major damage?

Abarth forum says don't use anything other than 10w 50...I've given up the search and placed an order for the proper selenia abarth stuff, just hope it comes quickly need to use the car! There's enough oil for it to register on the dipstick and no warning light so i'll potter about till it arrives

Ah ok mate probably best to stick with the correct stuff as and when you can.
 
Haven't updated this is ages!

Oil was all fine and sorted with a service in the end so that was okay. In the mean time i've entered the property market so little to no money at the moment which is annoying for the car as someone managed to drive into my rear quarter denting part of the bumper, still got missing centre caps on a alloy or 2 and went to get into my car the other day only to find a scaffolding board with metal edging had fallen off in the garage and scratched my drivers door, not to mention the buckled alloy, refurb needed on other alloys, 2 new rear tyres, new discs and new pads...

So I aim to live on rations until I can afford to get her looking her best again!

not something I wanted to read if I'm honest!
sad times but getting a house is a big milestone so its only natural for the car to take second place now..
is the damage bad on the door?
