it might not seem it yet but alot has been changed..
it looks the same because of having the same wheels but just stick around..

First thing i did was change the grill, i picked him up my bradford, 200miles away from home lol..that night i fitted my grill..the morning after i took all the stupid dealer stickers off and the punto badge aswell..used heat and a card to peel the letters off then a toffee wheel for the adhesive!..shiniest piece on my car now lol..

and de-tangoed my headlights

the next day i de-wipered the tailgate, this took the p*ss ..the wiper was seized on!!..took 30mins of continuous wriggling to pop it off..next drilled out the rivets and took the motor out and plugged it up!...love the look. no big plastic wiper. smoother

next i decided to do something about the front headlights so got in contact with lamin-x and they sent out a sample for me.. i decided to not waste it and tinted my rear badge with it.

Subcribe maybe? or stay intouch..much more to come at this point :)
any comments welcome! ..
This looks awesome! I was thinking that the wheels let it down a bit but when you get the new rims on it will be spot on!
Any more plans at all?
 
I really like what you've done to it, I love the Grande in white! Looks especially good that low! Shame about your driveshaft though.

I like your take on the abarth tail lights as well, looks much better without that pinky nonsense at the top of the light!

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the roof rack. Just looks weird in my opinion.

Can't wait to see it with the new wheels on though!

haha wise decision with the lows! I thought that car park was pretty much 'no go' now due to all the complaints lol! You keeping the RH's polished then? black alloys were looking tidy (y)

yeah all those people with civics and that thining there 900hp so they can have massive exhausts! lol.. i think im going to keep them polished.. after a few months though no doubt i will change my mind, then black or white centres polished lip :)
