Hello everyone!

Im new here and i recently passed my test and bought my first car.

Here it is...



I havent got a huge amount of money right now. But i was thinking of getting a new exhaust backbox, tinting the windows black, adding new lights and some new wheels.

These are the wheels i was thinking of getting...


There 15" and the red rim around the black alloy would match the car perfectly i think.

I did a little edit on MSPaint to see how it could look...


So, what do you think about my plans for this car? good? bad?

And what order do you think i should get the things? get alloys first? get exhaust backbox on?

And my last question, Do you know of any cheap mods i can do to he car to make it look abit nicer for now?


Thanks

Hi and welcome.

Don't know what age you are, but what does your insurance company make of your suggestions?

Hi Lucas hope your ok.
Nice car. Yours is the model up from mine, I would have killed for your bumpers 6 months ago! haha
Looks in very good condition. Perhaps if I showed you a picture of my car you may find some things you would want to do to yours?
I'm not keen on the alloys but thats just because I don't think multispokes suit a mk1 but that's my opinion
There are ssooooooooo many things you can do to improve it aesthetically, my personal choice if I knew what was available when I bought my car would be a GT interior from a higher model punto mk1.
A nice start could be getting mirrors from a sporting/GT in Red or another colour then spraying them the same colour as your car. You can get the colour mixed up from Halfords. Sideskirts would look decent too.
Hope any of this helps and if you have any questions let me know as I have done stuff like this to my car since Feb this year.

Interior.

hopefully it will spark off some thoughts of what you would like to do.

Hes right dude, should you take a knock and need the insurance it will be void. Putting points on your license and as your new like me if you get 6 points in 2 years wave goodbye to your license.

Yep, its always best to tell you insurence the modifications you do. If you had a crash, insurence company's will look for any excuse not to pay up these days and the car not being as described is one of them.

u could always get the gt alloys, dunno if it would effect ya insurance? did it effect yours karbine

most insurace premiums arent affected by alloy wheels however the back box will be a diffrent story.


on the alloys hav you checked they are the right size to fit your car.
