Only if you want white indicators look like standard clear bulbs to me and also at a glance look like pin opposing as opposed to pin off set

Well they say they are legal but i cant see any [e-mark] (the number refers to the country of approval)

you can just see the emark here on the metal base part:



which is why i listed the ones i did been osram and german When i was looking for some i even put the ones in halfords back as they had no markings on them

They will probably be Ok but should the worst happen and insurance co finds they are none e marked your in for a tough time

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

It works, it just has a bit of condensation.

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

looks lovely Russ, looking forward to seeing what you do

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

cheers Reuuk

not entirely sure what i'll be doing to it.

Its supposed to be a standard reliable car for work and university and day to day stuff. but cant afford a toy car. so inevitably i'll crave to mod it.


Think the mod's list will be;

Abarth/Sporting alloys.
35/40mm lowering springs

I want to do an induction for it. but theres not much around for the StarJet as its a slightly different intake compared to the older 1.4 16v.

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

Russ, never fear!

@Sean23491 did it with a BMC - CDA, just buy the pipes

Hey, looks like your wanting to do an induction kit for Starjet

I did mine using pippes which sammclean23 had from his 1.4 8v and added a 90 degree elbow bend and used his alloy t-piece as a connector

Quite easy to fit in as no breather pipe is attached to the air filter box, plenty of room at the front end to add the new Induction filter in.

Heres a picture of mine:-


Hope this helps

Re: RussJTD's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

Ahh, that's where my BMC ended up
