although i still have the old stilo exhuast in my garage somewhere, god knows what to do with it

I am looking for something to replace mine with. 1.9JTD, what is it?

Bob in disguise · May 18, 2006

It's incredibley loud, louder than a stilo abarth with a super sprint on and its a nightmare to live with to be honest thats why i had it removed and put a standard one back on....

Theres pics of it in my gallery, to look at you wouldn't think it be loud at all

Looks very good but is it the picture or is there more space between the bumper and the bonnet on the left side compared to the right side. I do have that problem but fixed it by pulling the bumper a little bit
up.

Shhhh don't upset him.

I noticed the gap the day i picked it up but its not huge and i can live with it, even the ones in the show room were not perfect. One of them even had a huge gap under one head light and none under the other one, but unless you really take time out to look at it you wouldnt notice that either

Just put some galvanised washers under the left torx screw of the bumper. To make this work there has to be some room between the bumper and the left headlight unit. It worked for me and the gap is much smaller.

Don't worry about panel gaps Bob, the F40 has gaps you could walk through so no biggie really.

Blimey mate good to see you finally got it, bet you miss the 5dr mk2 punto now tho

Looking good, although why did i think you were getting it in a different colour

Daver · May 19, 2006

Absolutely luvverly, exactly as mine will look in September.

Koa · May 19, 2006

Looks very cool mate

I wasn't too impressed by the new punto but I can say you have picked the best you possibly could Bob, best colour, best interior design and best engine, nice one matey

Sorry if this has already been answered, I didn't read the whole thread.
Do you have any plans for it modding wise ?

Bob in disguise · May 19, 2006

nope i like it standard for now

Maybe a remap in a year or so, but coming from the 1.2 stilo the punto feels plenty fast enough at the moment

Fantastic looking car bud!!

Should have got the vRS...

LOL only messing. Its bloody nice

Bob in disguise · May 31, 2006

VRS *yawn*

In all honesty i think the VRS felt a bit quicker than this car, but im happy i chose this.
I could see me getting bored of the VRS a lot faster than this car

beau · May 31, 2006

forgot to post on this thread, for styling mods i would probably wait until the abarth model comes out and then see what extras that has

and it really is soooo nice!!!! :yum:

The Fab has a bit more torque as standard, thats why it might feel a bit quicker. Ive had mine 1 year 6 days and I still find any excuse to go drive...actually im lying, I just go out and drive for the fun of it

The day I get bored of it is the day I sell it.

Good luck with the GPunto, I know someone who's just got one. Need to go and inspect it...

Bloody hell! has it been a year already, i remember talking to you about the ibiza and fabia when you were looking for a new car.

I'm the same with my car, i love driving it. Me and Alex did a 140 mile round trip in it last weekend and then later that night at about midnight i was thinking maybe i'll just go out for a quick spin

I bought a diesel to save me the running costs of going to and from work, but i can't stay out of it

ChrisUK · Jun 1, 2006

Im bored of mine after 3 months lol. Will be the last time I buy a German car....

There just sooo boring and they handle like crap too imo no matter what I do I can't take a corner fast without understeer or the traction control kicking in. Dont get me wrong loads of grip but crap loads of body roll.

It sounds like you didnt even give it a chance to me. With mods- engine and suspension you could have it nearly/as quick as that Civic Type R you used to own. Remember, the one with the VTEC engine. vroom vroom....

But this is Bob's GPunto thread! I saw my mates parked up today. It looks so smart and its red like yours- much better in the flesh I think, pictures dont do it enough justice. :worship:
