Grande Punto My first car, GP Active 1.2

Introduction

Hi all,
Thought I would show my car to see what people think!
Just needs some white alloys, my 57i induction kit should come soon, maybe some other mods not sure though at the moment!



new photo, just painted the bonnet trim, needs another coat or so but pretty good at the moment!



Any suggestions?
Ive changed a few things since, ill post pics when i can :D

Edit: Outside is pretty much finished :)
New pics
I know some people wont like it, I really do though, my aim was to make it stand out from the rest and I think I've done that well :)
I'm in desperate need for some white alloys but I don't have the money atm:



As you can see some nobhead tried taking my wheel trim off, also I put a new stereo and bluetooth kit inside :p

I touched up on all the sprayed stuff, and did the wing mirrors and door handles, some would say the handles are OTT but I actually like them :p

Very happy with how it's turned out! I like how the GP is such a modifiable car. Maybe wind deflectors and rear spoiler in the future :)

Thought I would point out also in replies to other posts my average MPG is 33.3, it completley depends how I want to drive though, the MPG scale that changed as you drive is actually useful if you have a heavy foot like me, can actually make me get through a week with half a tank

Car is starting to look nice and just cleaned it too,
Put some xenon bulbs in, vinyled the front (got it done by a propper car decal place,)
Still a lot to do, cosmetic wise there is not much, only little stuff to be done such as wind deflectors, or larger scale improvements if I was loaded, which I'm not :D

Hopefully after tonight will be able to afford GSR too, and lowering springs/coil overs if I'm lucky











Think I'm not supposed to use external hosting however I had run out of space in my gallery, and postimg will never go down :p

I just went to scotland recently, 155 mile trip (around that number,) used about a quater of a full tank with one person in the car, totally forgot to reset the mpg clock but i get about 37/38 when i drive like a granny

looking at that vinyl im kinda glad i never done mine white , any better pics of thos alloys mate ?
 
Looks sweet mate, not really my sort of thing.. but i sure do love the creativity! Looks like you're the same school year as me too, but nice to see something completely different mate.
Can't wait to see more posts.
All the best, Matt.
 
Got any pics in the day time with your new headlights? Also your HIDS as im thinking of getting a conversion kit :)




I'll try get some tomorrow!


Had these on my MK2, fitted with 6K HIDs, looked great! (y)
You ever thought of de-badged grille?

I've got 8k, just right IMO. They do look good like!
And yep I'd like one but my grille is glued in so it would be a pain, might just get a custom fiat badge or abarth badge
