Then i bought another set of alloys for the car after skidding on black ice and buckling one alloy on the kerb :(
They are the Evo Sporting alloys.

Next thing i did was get rid of the horrible yellow tint from the lights-

Team HEKO Wind Deflectors-

Then when i needed my brake pads changing i opted for the upgraded Greenstuff pads with the EBC front grooved discs-

I ran the car like this for a few months then i had a fantastic oppurtunity to buy these lovely RAYS alloys replicas and considering i was going to get the Evo alloys sprayed black, i spent the money on buying some already black alloys instead! :)

Then i ordered some orange rim tape along with my spigot rings, gave them a bit of a clean up and this is how they are right now-

These are going to go on when i finally pull my finger out and fit my Eibach Sportline springs-

Im sure most people know but they're Forge underbody braces.


So yeah, thats how the car stands atm- should be fitting my springs and the new alloys within the next week or 2 then ill have the car looking almost exactly how i want minus a Cupra Splitter & Black front headlights and also need to get round and vinyl my front bumper at some point!

All comments welcome,

Cheers for the comments lads! :)

The black & orange alloys are actually called Ace C047 alloys if anyone wants to try find a set, they come in 4x100 fitment but the centre bore is 73.1mm so you'll have to buy spigot rings to get em to fit on a Grande Punto's 56.6mm CB.

I bought them off a friend of a friend tbh, cost me £275.
The evo sporting alloys do have a few marks on them to be honest but with a touch up they could easily be perfect again, i was going to get them re-sprayed so i wasnt really bothered but then i bought the black alloys and never bothered getting them done, ill PM you a price if your interested though mate. They'll come with just the rims because the rubber on the car now has to go onto the black ones :)

No pics with those alloys on yet, only got them a week ago and car is at Fiat now just having a few bits n bobs sorted then im going to fit the springs myself because the local Fiat dealership charge £60/hour in labour rates and i wouldnt dare pay that! :)

Ill upload the pics when everything is sorted straight away, i cant wait!

The original sporting alloys. The ones that buckled. Any chance the 3 remaining ones are for sale? Or have they already gone?

Can't wait for pics with the car lowered and in it's shiny new shoes ;) could i recommend vinyling the front grills in black (the bit behind the number plate) looks nice will go well :)
 
Looks really nice! Can't wait to see it with those alloys on. I find it weird how the GP is a car that can very easily suit multispoke alloys (like the original sporting ones), or alloys with fewer spokes, such as mine and yours :)

Good to see you got rid of the yellowy front bulbs, but get some silver indicator bulbs now too!
 
Ordered 2 new tyres last night so when they come, ive got a mate of mine to change all the rubber onto the new rims for £20 sometime next week.
As soon as their on, ill be posting pics :slayer:
 
Very nice car mate, I take it you put HID's in your headlights for them to look that blueish? After seeing your wheels I may go get some alloy tape :p

No mate, dont really like the idea of HIDs... dont wanna blind anyone and these are the bulbs im running at the front.

- Xenonmax Headlight bulbs
- MTEC Sidelight bulbs
