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:

Nice!

I'm glad you're happy - 27k miles is nothing! My Sporting T-Jet (57 plate) is coming up to 100k now, had her two weeks and replaced many things haha.

I'm surprised the Corsa VXR seats fit in mine, I might have to browse the interwebs!

As for lowering it, do be careful - search up the driveshaft issue. I've got some 35mm H&R Springs going on soon; I'm not wanting to go much lower as the driveshafts pop out and **** themselves. I've heard 40mm is about the limit, but let me know how you get on, some people have managed it.

Have you got a link to those pedals?

As for the Abarth lights, that sounds wicked, but just make sure they fit without needing any connectors!
