Hi name is WeeRob (go by Weeman but it was already taken) just got myself a nice 2008 Black AGP with cloth seats. I have started doing upgrades to it so far the Brakes where replaced with EBC performance disc Front/Rears and EBC Green stuff pads. Wheels replaced with 18" Ich OZ WRC alloys Gold colour. Exhaust replaced with a turbo back system with a single 4" Ich Blued tip pipe. Forge subframe braces fitted, had to mod around exhaust pipe. Intercooler replaced with a Airtec Intercooler (Red logo, yellow hoses). Intake pipe replaced with a Aluminium intake pipe with red hoses to Airbox with BMC filter. Headlight replaced with Angle eyes black head light unit.Still got the Suspension to do and then the re-map. Post photos soon. Any ideas on a good Suspensions Kits spring/shocks.:idea:

Hello and welcome. :wave:

Sorry I can’t help with your questions, but I do have a 2009 AGP EsseEsse in Black - good to see yours. (y)

I hesitate to say it, but there is also a busy FB group for Abarth Puntos. People in there will know about mods if no one here can help. :)
 
Thanks Palio ….(y) not that much into the Facebook, but been reading through some threads on the AGP and the Punto Grande...…. found a few good gems of info (y)

Here are some pics, I decided to replaced the grill after modified it...(cut away the mesh/sand/re-paint).

The kit is awsome drove over 200 miles now.....:D drove on motorway, streets and country roads around scotland,Car grips and handles 100% better than factory fitted shocks/springs ( Forge strut braces aslo fitted ). Now saving for turbo kit.......Might re map to 180 til I have the turbo kit
