Punto (Mk2/2b) 17's on the gt...

[beau]

well i got the bolts so could fit them, but i didnt really want to fit em to the 75 so decided to fit em on the gt

i sold the 16's with worn out tyres for £120! not bad, i paid £60 total for the whole car, so thats paid for the car and an extra £60 towards it too

now, its not exactly drivable but oh well its not being driven is it but heres the pics i love it!

cant really see the gap but its about 1-2mm's and when im in it, the car actually sits on the tyres on full lock lol, and **** me! this power steering is mad, i can spin the wheel with one finger lol i find it so cool

whats that hanging from the car underneath on your floor photoshot?

looks like you got rust on both your front wheel arches... the wheels do look good, but they defiently need a refurb thats some major scrubage on tht front wheel. Oh and tht will fail an MOT if the car sits on the wheels when its on full lock and wud be extremely damgerous wen your drivin! Ever had a blow out, trust me they ent nice...

you cant leave those on as you'll go round a corner and find you have no tyre and a busted wing

LOL! i paid that for mine which were in good condition, and with good brand new tyres on 2 of them.

i'll just buy the odd 1

 

[dave]

only 1 of beaus needs a refurb, the others have just been done

yeah but i'd still have to get it refurbed back to silvery-whatever

the handbrake lines hang down more the lower the suspension sits, which is clever, since the suspension compres's when you go into dips etc, so they can actually catch the ground.

beau mate, as you say get the std gt wheels back on there, and whatever else (exhaust, chip etc etc). if you ever stood a chance of insuring that rust bucket you will loose it with even the mildest mod!

btw if you ever do get insruance for old el rust bucketo, it would be in the region of £2500-3000, not £1600 like I though before! 1600 is what it would cost ME at 19 with 2yrs NCB

 

[bulldog5046]

see you mist be doing somthing wrong, pretty sure i could insure a GT for less than that (18 1yr NCB)

mind you my friends claiming fully comp on her 1.3 KA for £400 odd (19 1yr NCB)

 

[GhostWKD]

and **** me! this power steering is mad, i can spin the wheel with one finger lol i find it so cool

So the tyres will have nice bald spots soon too :slayer:

doesn't 1 years NCB equal 30~40%?... been too long to remember but 1 year is BIG..
