Grande Punto ChrisUK's New GP Sporting

Introduction

Well I've had the car nearly 2 months about time I had pics :eek: :rolleyes:

I think I got a good deal. Bought from a local Evans Halshaw so I got a dealer warranty to fall back on when things break :D. Only got 27,000 miles on the clock although that is increasing rapidly :devil:.

So far she's as she was when she came out the factory with the exception of some rather nice German made wind deflectors from eBay & Genuine Fiat Matt's which fit perfectly :slayer:. I did buy some aftermarket pedals from partsworld but it seems they ONLY fit 57 plate or older Grande's that have the fiat pedal box and not the GM / Vaux one like the later cars have :cry: :dead:

To Do:-

De-Tango headlights and side indicators (perhaps Abarth headlights :eek:)
Abarth rear lights
Pedals of some type (I'm hoping the Corsa VXR ones fit seen as though I have GM / Corsa pedals)
Forge subframe braces
Forge Intercooler
Live Custom Remap
And maybe - High quality Coilover suspension kit, however I must find one with the best ride quality but money is no object. Any ideas?

Edit: I've just realised Corsa VXR seats fit :devil:. My eBay stalking begins :slayer:

Personally I would go with GAZ coilovers, you can specify at order what spring rates you want and they will build a set with matched dampers, so technically you can ask for the same spring rates as standard, but bear in mind if you want soft springs then you cant have it decked in order for the suspension to be able to work. Alternatively Bilstein B14/B16 would be my second choice. For race/track either GAZ or BR Racing. (y)

Nice catch, I love that colour too, Grey looks ace :cool:


Humour
 
That's fair enough :) You did ask about coilovers in your first post so I answered that question.

Bilstein shocks are always a good choice (y)

Well its had a good wash, Fiat center caps are in. Much better than team dynamics ones lol.

And thanks to Dom's drive way and its epic incline I now need a new clutch :(.
