Grande Punto Molly the T-jet

Introduction

As many of you know I've changed my car. Introducing Molly the T-Jet in New Orleans Blue. :D
Many of you will will have seen my previous GP 'Tangelina Jolie' at the FiatForum shows.

Agreed with the seller that I could keep my Speedline Turinis so drove her back on the Steelies! Molly was surprisingly good on fuel for the 130 miles straight to work on Monday!

When I got home that evening I replaced the Old air filter on the GSR (came with car), changed the wheels over and added my Carbon wing mirrors, smoked indicators, Abarth rear lights and badgeless grille…. I also found a surprise.. Molly came with Eibach 30mm lowering springs. Very comfortable ride but won’t be staying as they don’t make much difference to the height!

After a good clean her paint work is in good condition. The usual pre-owner swirls which ill be working on removing over the next few ‘car times'


little photoshoot with @BenNWuk

Plans for this weekend are Abarth Headlights fitted and Forge Intercooler. I will then move onto the interior :)


Enjoy.
Okay here is the overdue update....


Started the day off around at my good friends Garage WF motors to swap over the exhaust system

We also fitted the Decat after my neighbour kindly re-welded the flange as it was blowing. (poor on TMC's side as they didn't weld the whole flange to the pipe.boo)


we then drove back to mine to start the Turbo swap :) VL37 to VL36 (Abarth)

On sunday, I checked over the Boost hoses as I was experiencing whistling from the Turbo > intercooler hose

Molly has gained a fair few comments from the neighbours.. especially now shes's de-catted...

As much as I'm enjoying these new modifications I can only thank my good friend Sweex for letting me buy his parts :)

Should be able to hear you popping at Trafford meets now ?
 
Didnt even say about the linea grille!!! Haha.
Im just glad the expensive mods went to a good home <3

Yes they have mate, thanks :)

looking good mate!! Has the de-cat made much difference?

I couldn't say, I drove less that 5miles with new new exhaust before the decat was fitted :') it most definatly made her louder ;D

Bet it's loud! Looks awesome but, any other plans after this?

Mmm, a few goodies are in mind, stay tuned ;)

Popping and sounding like the car has a chesty cough :')
 
Okay so this happend on Monday....

I had pretty much every warning light come up on my dash..very dim lights and nothing electronic was working!
Spent my time on the m62 in the freezing cold between 11pm until about 1am brrr!

So Tuesday I took a day unpaid off work to get her fixed, turned out to be the altenator not charging the battery so I was draining whilst driving!

The altenator was not that bad of a job... If you ever need to get yours changed, don't let the garage let you that you need to drain the AC because you don't, I simply moved them aside (very carefully!) must say its abit fiddly though!

All fixed now though :)
