Grande Punto Mjet 1.9 Sporting

Introduction

Decided to create a members motors thread for my 09 plate 1.9 MJet sporting in grey. Had the car since about 9k mile i think it was and had the usual top mounts needing changing and a split turbo pipe but other than that has been quite good to me. The car has dual climate control and the lumbar package (electronic lumbar adjust on drivers seat and arm rest), but apart from that is completely standard at the minute, but would love to do the following to it;

  • Window tints, rear is already factory tinted
  • New speakers all round
  • Black interior pillars
  • Black roof lining
  • New alloys
  • Lowering springs or coilovers set to their highest because of the lovely speed bumps and pot holes around here.
  • Black or badgeless grill
  • Abarth fronts (possibly)
  • Under body and strut braces
  • Exhaust system
  • Remap
Just having its first full service, cam belt ect. after having 2 new front tyres (Khumo KU39's) and EBC Ulimax pads all round. After this hopefully people will stop using my car to stop their doors in car parks so I can spend money on it for good reasons.

Some old pictures from summer.

MOT passed with no advisories :slayer: although tbh that shouldnt be a suprise at 45k.
Tax with new cambelt, aux belt, water pump, fuel pump, 2nd oil filter (eurocarparts sent one that isn't for a GP), oil change, air filter, pollen filter, new windscreen wipers.
And as I said before new pads all round and new front tyres, should keep it going for a bit longer.

Along with this and all the bits I'll need to fit it :)
For some reason it won't let me upload two pictures from my iphone?
Until I get on my laptop this is a picture of a boost gauge :)

One other item is being sorted at the moment to, but more on that when it's confirmed, either way I'm going to both happy and a little busy once these bits turn up.

Just noticed the arm rest is that a Fiat one r an after market one wouldn't mind one in my car
 
Looking for some help if anyone can.
After buying the above abarth 500 alloys it's only then I realised I could of made an expensive mistake. I know the pcd is 98 and not 100 now so I'm going to have to buy some wobble bolts. But does anyone know what size centre hole these alloys are I can't find the info anywhere? I want to know because I want to know if I need spigot rings or not. Lastly the offset is ET38 i think, will that be ok to?
