Well i thought i should upload a few pics of my punto, to what ive done so far since i bought it in april 08, any ideas, feedback etc much appreciated...



Front view with the HIDs fitted (was a pain to fit btw)





And the 1.2 16v engine



Got the gsr over a month ago and not a negative comment about it (thanks peter)

Looking good mate.....got any side shots of the car?

I have but they were took in the dark though, just deciding on which rims would look nice on this car...





and an interior view...

HID suit the Mk2a punto. Though I'd go for extreme white as apposed to blue HID.

HID 6k are the ones man.....they are more white based and give off more light. me want some!!!

Regarding wheels and lowering mate, you need to ask yourself this question, "What do I want, ride quality or looks?"...

Big wheels (17-18) and big drop(50mm plus - nice looks but bad ride quality)
Small wheels (14-16) and average drop (30-40mm - best of both worlds)


my opinion, 17's and 50mm drop!! - As most ppl would say, do it right or pay the price!

Check under 'Members Motors' to get an idea of wheels that may tickle your fancy....

good luck

dont be a bloody martyr, HID's are not hard to fit.

looks nice though, liking exhaust symmetry but not the upturning of said items

and yes - peter is a duuuuuuuuuude!! i love him with all my heart, body and soul. lol

looks nice, but why badge it abarth when its not?

like the HID's, colour code your mirrors

Historically, Abarth's main role was to supply tuning parts to Fiat owners, similar to Ford's RS, or even Mercedes' AMG. So as long as there are Abarth parts on the car, i don't see a problem with putting the badges on it really.

but theres actually an abarth punto, which came with the full kit and was designed by Fiat as an abarth. therefore it is the only car that can be badged abarth unless you have fitted the full kit and are going down the replica route... dont know why i'm arguing, its not that big a deal lol

lol, firstly, the badge was there when i bought the car, secondly, dont want to take it off, cos i think it looks nice personally, however, i am looking for some cheap abarth side skirts,

looks very nice mate..go for the hole bodykit

Really like your car, do you have any probs with exhausts hanging under the bumper like they do? I was tempted to abarth mine but just didn't fancy doing it in the end although the scorpion bonnet badge had to go on it rocks lol.

not a problem at all with exhausts, even over speed bumps, only problem is they are too noisy lol, so i am looking to sound proof the floor soon,

Is it a full cat back system then? I was getting a pretty much straight through section with the back box with twin 3inch pipes coming from the center as i was thinking when lowered the exhaust may be an issue and it may look abit lame hanging under the bumper.

I like it! Nice one!

nothing wrong with badging a punto with abarth bits. i honestly beleive that abarth still stands for a Tuned Fiat (which to be fair the punto abarth was not a tuned fiat).

so any fiat that has been modified but kept within a sensible style (i.e looks stockish) can carry an abarth badge. or as a random boy in college called it abrat.

Do you have to have a remap to have the GSR working proper?

not necessarily, i was thinking about a remap but not sure its really worth it to be honest, just for a extra few brake, yet i do want to take it down to redot one day and just have the guys look over my car and recommend anything that needs replacing or that could make it perform even better for a resonable price, but being in Bradford (near leeds), it is quite a distance

Anyone know where i can get some abarth side skirts with the badge on the side and a front lip at a good price?
