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.

Thought you had black alloys mate. Or have you not finished posting yet :p your lucky getting a tjet at 18 haha :p Im guna upgrade after a year or 2 to a White tjet love em. Anyway cars mint mate love it. Do you ever get pulled for the Italian plates?
 
Lovely car.

What shade of lamin-x did you use? Looks perfect. And how much of a pain in the backside was it to fit?
 
Thanks for the replies! Yeah im insured for £2900 tho :/ lol.. There is alot more to come! I've tinted the rear lights just on the repeaters part like abarths but that's it for tinting..i want euro style that's why :).. and the tints on the front are one of the darkest whatever that is..they are hard to get on cus the angle of the lights..im good at that **** tho lol..

You people and insurance.

:rolleyes: My current insurance is £780 im 23, 4yrs NCB, no previous convictions or claims and live in a decent area.

Coming to think of it sounds about right. Wish I had a T-Jet at 18/19yr old. I was with swiftcover when I was 22 and they would not insure me on an Abarth or T-Jet until I was at least 23 and at least 2 years no claims. :mad:
 
I'd be happy paying 2900 for insurance! I'm 17 and it's costing me 3500 to insure my 1.2 and thats only third party!. You think when I turn 18 even with no ncb it will go down a little?
 
Yeah insured with co-op and coming up to my first years no claims and will drop to 1600 squiders..I did do pass plug and I'm doing advanced driving with my step dad :p .. There silvertec ones yes..I have a spare set that look blue!.. Just I like the simpler looking ones lol..I got pulled over twice and threatened to get three points and £60 fine so now I have pressed BS ones but that's later in the thread that will be uptaded later tonight a bit more :)
 
and sorry i want 16's with mad stretch lolQUOTE]

Looking at another thread about winter tyres it would seem you can't put 16"s on a TJet because they wont clear the calipers. Maybe worth having a look into it.

Looking excellent so far mate, love the white ones (y)

Some 16's are okay sometimes, some rot as I tried didn't fit but the Porsche wheels I had where fine ;). Buts that's later in the build..an update later to come lol
