Grande Punto GP Sporting

Heres a few pictures I took today after I cleaned the car



sammclean23 heres one for you (Extremley Clean Cut )



Also i have recieved my Abarth Headlights today Got to find time to fit them now, already swapped the bulbs to Xenon Bulbs and Chrome Indicator Bulbs to de-tango them :slayer:


Getting my Abarth Essesse Lowering Springs fitted tomorrow aswell so will get pictures up as and when i can

ah thanks mate! looks much better than my stanley knife attempt!

He used a scalpel to cut the vinyl Im extremeley happy with the outcome!

was that that place in nottingham?

Its in Mansfield Woodhouse and its called PWPro

Fitted Abarth Essesse Spring today, can see a subtle differnce at the minute but I will have to wait for them to settle in

Took around 2 hours to fit all four which was not bad going and it has only cost me a crate of John Smiths

Heres a picture to show it now hopefully it will go a little lower

Love it! Love the dark tints on the rear lights. Where are you from? BTW I'd definatly take the punto badge off the back if I was you. Would look nicer in my opinion,

Can certainly notice the difference mate! did you get round to the lights?

Nope see I'll be honest. I really wanna do the back lights. But don't trust myself with the tint spray. Think I need someone who's done it before to come down and do it with me... (I'm 22 years old and asking for help makes me feel retarded lmao). Think I'll leave the front lights for a bit. I've done enough this week £300 on alloys, £50 on new grill, £15 on new rear badge, £6 on some back to black stuff. Not to mention an achy arm from cleaning and polishing the car lmao. Just for the GF to drive it to Coventry on the motorway and dust it all up again :bang:

You reckon your car will drop much more? I'd drive it round with 4 passengers for a couple of hours. Wear them in a bit lol

Dude your car looks amazingly clean! What polishing products u use!?

Thanks! For £6 can of spray you cant go wrong and I used it on the side repeaters aswell Im from Worksop just south of Sheffield, I dont like thinking of taking it off because when I bought the car I got them to put all them on, so would seem a waste Will have a think about it though.

Cheers! Hopefully a little lower and ill be really happy especially what its cost me. No i didnt get round to doing the headlights yesterday, weather was too nice after doing springs so went out instead Ill souce some Torx screwdrivers first from someone then they will be in, how long to they take roughly?

Thanks! I use Auto Glym Super Resin Polish, but I havent used it on the car for about 5 months so just a goo clean off every week has it looking like this I only polish it every 6 months because the coat of the last polish is still there. Works a treat though

Well, if you didn't really know how to do them or where the screws were, then took me about an hour and half. However, if all goes to plan and you dont come across any crossthreaded/rounded/rusted screws it shouldnt take too long.

@Matthewr1990: id just have a go mate, I'm ****e with spraying things but managed to do my lights okay, despite the fact one is a bit darker

Nice might have a look tonight then once I get in, going to pick up a spare wheel tonight, 17" sporting alloy get my self a scissor jack and im sorted, no more tyre weld for me

When I did mine I really had no idea just make sure when you spray your ligts that it even coverage horizontal and vertical strokes, make sure you take both off at same time so you can do them next to each other because you will find it easier to get the same darkness

Lmao is it noticeable though?

You can only notice defects most of the time if you do them yourself, sammclean23 's GP you cant notice it in my opinion but he will be able to

Just been and picked up my 17" spare wheel
Has a blue centre cap but that doesnt bother me for a spare, got to fit it in the boot now and buy a scissor jack


Still havent had chance to fit headlights hopefully friday now I think

Thinking of painting my breake calipers, wonderding what colour would be best to contrast the New Orleans Blue, thinking of red?

What does everyone think?

Update :-

Fitted my Abrarth Headlights tonight with the help of sammclean23 Cheers mate

A picture with them fitted and one to compare

I love the look of the Abarths

Also ive decided to paint brake calipers - Blue!

You'll need to use some wax after polish, This is a good guide on what to do/products to look at:
