Grande Punto My 1.4 8v

Introduction

So, I've had my Grande a few months now but never bothered with a members motors thread. Done a few minor mods but still unsure how far to go as I want to be able to return everything to standard when I come to sell it.

This is the car as I bought it.

Anyway, first job was to get rid of that massive aerial so I ordered the stubby one the day I picked the car up.

Then decided to start changing all the bulbs to brighter white. Got the Nightbreaker plus headlights and a couple of white interior LED's.

Also got the chrome indocators to get rid of the fried egg.

Also made myself a cheeky little tax disc holder. :slayer:

Then I found some Carplan Original Black in Asda for like £2.49 so waited for some decent weather and give the car a good clean and sprayed all the plastic bits. Pretty happy with the results :)

And then last night a found an absolute bargain on gumtree and decided it was an offer I couldn't refuse...

Picked up these sexy little numbers for a cool £200. Near enough brand new Pirelli tyres and all.

A couple of them have 'white worm' but looking at getting them refurb by a friend of a friend. Just don't know whether to go standard colour or black?

Thanks RowingLad87, I'll have to give them a ring tomorrow and see what they say. Hope they don't charge me more :/

And cheers Jordan92 I'm really happy with the anthracite, was going to go gloss black but glad I didn't. Lowering springs will have to wait for now but I will get them eventually!

Full set of wheels with brand new tyres and refurb has ended up costing me £250 :slayer:

Old 15" wheels will be up for sale once I've got them cleaned up if anyone wants some spare wheels for winter or upgrade from steelies?

No problem mate :D best of luck!

Those wheels are lovely, good job painting them
