Grande Punto Grande T-Jet

Introduction

Thought id share my 58 T-Jet with you all.
Im a new member and a new driver have had the car and my license for two months now, and I am apsolutely loving it atm.
I have just started to do a few cosmetic changes to it e.g day running lights on the front, 15 led sidelights, zenon headlights, red led footwell lights running from interior light and also red led strip across the panoramic roof also connected to the interior lights...sorta looks like a knightrider effect not that i planned that just so happened to be once i looked at it after it was installed : ), interior light cover tinted red, installed sound system head unit sub amp and front speakers.

Very soon will also install red led strips in the boot just not sure which wires to cut into for the + and - wires as the already wires connected are not standard red and black?Vinyl the bumper behind the license plate and the middle of the bumper underneath the bottom grille...seems to be the in thing to do to change the look of the car for the better, also vinyl the the panel just after the panoramic roof and just before the boot. Spray the wing mirrors black. Maybe get darker tints in the back three windows. Would like to get an induction kit gsr or k&n not sure which one is better and also not to sure if it would boost the emount of money I would spend on petrol. New backbox and tip to make it sound meatier...hopefully not to loud just a nice hum would be perfect.

Would appreciate any recommendations on other styling tips as I am really enjoying customizing things, thanks for your advice in advance.

Hey Man, Welcome to the forum!

Im liking the car ALOT!
Whats the insurnace like for a new driver on a T-Jet? I know for me it would be extortionate!
Personally, i would go for a darker rear tint, Eibach sportline lowering springs, GSR (if you can get your hands on one, they're like rocking horse s**t now), keep the alloys that colour aswell :)

Cheers
Tom
 
Good choice of car/colour (y) check out my motors thread i have the same car and have done many of the things your thinking about. I also made my own cutom air intake which is similar to the GSR
 
GOOD CHOICE...


just for the record... i have a t-jet. it's red. it has skydome sunroof. it was my first car. my names also cookie.

great minds and all that :D
 
Insurance is quite dear as im a new driver, £1900 for 10 months but get 1 years no claims after that and my excess is £750.

Just trying to do things on the cheap as havent got alot of money knocking around at the moment. Really want an induction kit mainly for the sound but not to sure if it kills your petrol compared to not having one fitted.
Would like a new exhaust but i dont want nothing too loud maybe an abarth sound.

Just fitted led running lights on the front, they look pretty good. Side repeaters laminated red to blend in with the motor and have ordered matte black vinyl from ebay only £4 for 1m length for the front bumper.
