Hi, just recently brought a black 1.3 multijet sporting and love it, just got a few questions for you, i know theyve probably been asked before but i couldnt find them when searching.

- If i want to buy a new set of alloys will i have problems with 16" with rubbing etc, is it best to go with 15"? if so what size/measurements will i need.

- Im getting my windows tinted in 2 weeks time whats the best % to get tehm tinted front and back without making it look too much like a van or being illegal?

- Anyone who's had their panda tuned by angel tuning is it worth it performance wise, and how much does it effect teh average mpg? and have you had any problems with your clutch after it has been remapped?

- Finally my sporting hasnt got the white stripes. Ive seen you can buy these for around £50 i was wondering if i got tehm how easy are tehy to fit yourself without messing them up. Or shall i just leave it stripeless?

I know i have a lot of questions lol but thanks for any help.
 
Not sure about answers to your first two questions, but I think you'd be best off getting the stripes fitted professionally. Good luck with you Panda, most people seem to like them. (Mine is a nasty little b@stard!!)

The Panda doesn't really suffer the 'van effect' from higher rear window tints, just look at any 100HP.
 
The remap from Angel is very effective, makes it feel very quick, though you do have more pronounced snap and jerk you get with the MJ anyway. Depends if you use the power all the time but my economy improved slightly. Clutch is a difficult one again depends how you intend driving, traffic light burnouts forget it, same for 5th gear drags from low revs no chance clutch will be a gonna in no time. You can use the power and have great fun once you learn how to drive the car.

I put Wolfrace alloys that were 15"/5.5J/ET38 on 195/50/vr15 tyres, no problems or spacers required, very tight though!
 
glad you're liking the car.

as far as the alloy's go, 100hp's have 195/45x15's fitted as standard, so I guess that'd be the best fit as an upgrade, should make sure there's no rubbing.
 
If someone can tell me how to post pictures on this thread then you'll all get to see my moded MJ, lol. It has 16'' speedlines from an Alfa, Eibach and 'B' post tints rear. It has also been remapped.
Thank you all.
 
I do indeed. However, I keep myself to myself on here and when anyone needs advice I PM them if it's regarding tuning or similar. I also own a Doblo JTD, a Punto and 3 Alfas including a track car!

The Panda is great fun and corners really well with the lower stance and wider grip. There's still quite a bit of body roll and I might adrress this in the near future.
