Styling First Modified Fiat Punto Mk2 - ideas!

These guys are experienced here and the advice you're getting is excellent!

I'm pretty young too so I went for a few straightforward things on min like body coloured bumpers and a set of alloy wheels, although the insurance will go running scared, keep things simple and small and before you do something ring your insurance provider to see how much it's going to raise your premium.

As already mentioned, the sporting body kit (side skirts/spoiler/wheels) really set these puntos off

Save some money for the inevitable and endless repairs it will need too haha!

Good luck with the car!

I've been driving since I was 17 too, I'm 21 now and I was the same as you I wanted to do everything to my car. Mk 3 Polo Coupe, loved it. I got enough enjoyment out of keeping the thing running in the end :D, replacing parts learning about how it runs. I would do mods to your car yes - but keep it simple make it look neat and tidy it goes a long way. Look at homeward thread his is very nice indeed and there isn't any big mods that he's made.

I'm not trying to ask a dumb/inflammatory question, and I'm completely not in the mod game (as you say, keeping car serviced and running well can be more than enough work!): but what counts as a mod for insurance purposes?

Can you add skirt, change bumper, colour-code mirrors, smooth-side, etc.? I'd imagine most internal stuff would be fine (i.e. bits of dash, trim)?

That said, insurers probably want to be able to catch you out, so common-sense may not apply.

Only mod I've thought of doing was putting a remote on the central-locking (perhaps alarm also). Would that cause an insurance problem?

I think you'd be ok with the central locking. you need yo decalre any visual and performance mods i think.
