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

Introduction

Hi everyone! :D

Here's my member motor thread on my Sporting, i'd been looking for a AGP (Abarth Grande Punto for you newbies) and having looked i couldnt find a nice example with reasonable mileage for less than £9000+ at the time so as cool as Abarth's are it was steep so i decided to get a Tjet and make it my own!! So basically heres the story and update!

I bought the car from TJ Vickers from Telford in June 2012 for £5000 with 37,000 miles on the clock! It's so much better than my previous Grande Punto (1.3 dynamic), It looks so much better and was the best looking Sporting i saw whilst looking around, the customer service at TJ Vickers was fantastic, having to travel 2.5 hours from blackpool to get there the salesman put sold signs on the car because of the travel and reserved the car for me! (plug over with).

It's so much better than my old car, insurance hasnt really gone up, it looks alot better being a Series2 with the dark headlights, the silver dashboard, carbon dash surround, new silver dials, the thicker steering wheel and gearstick and of course THE SEATS! It obviously sounds ALOT better than my diesel and the performance is AMAZING from a little 1.4, i've had the car 8 months now problem free and even today the performance amazes me and my friends!

Got BIG plans for it but for now.. Here how it was when i picked it up! (y)

Cheers guys.. its the best car I could imagine owning at my age all things considered! With regards to the alloys im thinking 18"s either the Esseesse or something like the BBS's that come on ferraris :) just gonna enjoy it for a while before I start modding!
 
Wow! Looks so smart, very jealous! Keep the alloys though, best for it IMO :) how much did it set you back if you don't mind my asking?

Cheers buddy! Yeah im keeping them till I find better and I was paying 190 for last one and 220 for this one and insurance is barely changed; car was £6990 and some negative equity from the sporting!
 
Not been on here for a while so apologies for not posting so just thought whilst im off i shall do a bit of a update! :D

Nothing major as of yet sorry to say but one thing i have done is got a new stripe, courtsey of my best friend kaci1991 - the one from the APE and it looks so much better! I also have sprayed the outline of the rear lights aswell although thats not much noticeable. Heres a few pics from when we went out the other night.. (y)
