Grande Punto iPunto90's Grande Punto 1.4 T-jet Sporting, Black!

I love this car, those alloys are beautiful.

Loving the motion pics. I keep trying to get people together i know to do this with mine. But they all think i'm a loser and aren't interested in helping me haha

Looking forward to seeing the new colour Abarths. Are you going to colour code the wing mirrors to match again, or not?

Then we shall organise this when appropriate! Next time we get a little meet somewhere.

**back on topic**

I keep wondering what colour abarths we shall see. I'm going to be bold and say not Black, or Anthracite....something else maybe?

Thank you for all those comments and the pictures of my much awaited Abarth Alloys are here!!

I decided to take my time and make sure i did a good job so as always.. preperation time! I decided to go for a Satin Black rather than a Glossy Black as i had tried Gloss Black on my previous punto and it looked a bit chavvy but i think the finish on these one's look absolutely AMAZING and my car looks 10x's better, so.. your opinions?!



Here's a few on the car.. :devil:



and while i still had some spare paint lying around i thought id have a little go at something under the bonnet! :slayer:


I went on a bit of a photoshoot aswell but those pictures will be up later! Stay tuned people!

WOW mate! what a difference your car looks with those alloys being re-sprayed. Love it mate and I agree 10x better. Your GP is looking really stealthy now mate!

Regards
Stephen

Im looking and im liking well done mate loosk the bizzz!!
and that engine bay wow looks neat mate again well done. i look forward to seeing more and more and more of this car

Nice job. I'm going to be honest, i don't like it. Only because i dislike the black/black stealth theme. Each to their own though.

I have to agree mate, it's nice but think the white looked much nicer!

Thank you everyone for your opinions! I love hearing great stuff and the really nice comments about my car + even the constructive critisism! I pride myself on having a great looking, sounding and fast car as im very passionate about my car.. I dont drink much, i dont smoke or do drugs so all my money goes on my car keeping it looking like this! So a massive thanks to everyone, it confirms im going in the right direction and to build a bit of a fanbase with the likes of SJB and Jordan really puts a smile on my face, cheers guys!

Anyways.. Acceptance speech overwith, as promised here are a few of my favourite from the weekend when i went on a bit of a photoshoot with kaci1991 round Blackpool and the fylde coast!













Im also in the middle of photoshopping some of these so they will be up soon too! :slayer: stay tuned!

Alsooo i was having a gander on the Abarth forum as i had a strange popping whenever i revved the engine and have resolved the issue with a brilliant little mod for anyone with a T-JET.. http://www.abarthforum.co.uk/gp-abarth-tuning/blow-off-mod-how-to-incs-sizes-and-whats-needed/ you have the sound of a Dump Valve for a fraction of the cost and Its REALLY Dumps LOUD! a nice cheap little mod! Here's a sneak peak under the bonnet as ive never really shown it!

Just to clarify, this popping noise you had? Was it a couple of seconds after revving the engine? Mine does it
Did this mod get rid of the pop? Cheers in advance.

Yeah, if i was sat still revving a second or two after i stopped you'd hear like a pop/'dunk', luckily this little cheap mod works and gets rid of that annoying pop and actually makes the car sound even better as it makes the dump valve noise! happy to help!

Sounds like the exact same problem! Did you use the filter recommended and the samco pipe?
Thanks for the reply! Lovely car as well by the way! Love the new colour wheels

No all you need really is the bung as it shows in the picture and as for the filter i just used a bit of netting from say a window or similar about 2x2 inches and just get a small jubilee clip and put the netting over the open pipe and tighten the jubilee clip really tight around the pipe to keep the netting on and hey presto! you have what people think and sounds like a dump valve.. it sounds awesome!
Thanks by the way too buddy, the wheels look better in person aswell! I have big plans for it once i start my new job!

Ill give this a try this weekend

Its all good exhaust is sounding nice and pops nicely every now and then cant complain

Good good! the sooner i start my new job the sooner i can WOW you all with my amazing ideas and plans..

Car's looking good pal, although personally I preferred the alloys white rather than black on black, each to their own of course!

Cheers thanks! i think deep down i miss the white, its just the crappy paint i used flaked and they were dirty all the time, by the time i get round to doing the entire car up i will go back to the white alloys as they looked cool and show off.. much like me! aha!
