[simon_16vpunto1]

as we speak the cars in the bodyshop being fully colour coded, just ordered some springs off the net (G-max -35mm) and the cars going to get a custom stainless exhaust on thursday with twin round tailpipes (together, not at each side of the bumper if you know what i mean) if i get it back by then

Next up- Headunit, and speaker upgrade.(Got 2 12" subs and an amp free off a mate but they not going in the car)

Will get some pics up as soon as its all done. Cant wait :lol:

Oh, and its been de- badged (Punto and Active Sport badges are just a memory now) :wink:

fiat still done warrenty work on my car even tho ive got a bodykit, alloys, lowered, induction kit, exhaust!

but sounds good! get pics up asap!

 

[simon_16vpunto1]

yeah, apparently it only voids my suspension, but knowing Arnold Clark in dundee, ill probably have problems if summin does go wrong

What you doing with the amp and sub if it's no going in the car.?

 

[simon_16vpunto1]

well, i dont know if it is, i wanna see how low the back of the car will be with the exhaust and that first before i make up my mind, as the subs and all that MDF could get quite heavy! (also, i have my mates in the back quite a lot so i dont want it to b totally impractical)

If i dont use them, my GF wants them for her car :roll:

Cant wait to see the pics of it lowered mate, sounds good.

 

[simon_16vpunto1]

[simon_16vpunto1]

right, finally got my car back, looking sweeeeeet, colour-coding came out really well.

Was using dads stilo to bomb about in :lol:

Going in on monday for the exhust, tuesday for lowering and ill give it a good clean and get photos on thursday

Watch this space

 

[imported_Mechelle]

Im looking forward to seeing it

 

[FS Guest]

What did you get colour-coded? Was it the mirrors, door handles and rubbing strips??

 

[M21MFS]

Think thats what he mentioned...

Regarding bye bye warranty, I've always heard that FIAT warranties aint worth the paper their printed on anyways, so Im sure the odd void part for replacement aint going to give too much concern! :lol:

 

[simon_16vpunto1]

yeh, i got the mirrors, handles and rubbing strips done.

I wanted the rubbing strips off but i figured id rather have to get one re-painted if someone knocks it than have a nice dent in the door :wink:

good plan, bastards and their door swinging. i have 2 nice dents where peoples doors have hit on my dirvers side (i dont have any strips)

how do they look colour coded?

 

[simon_16vpunto1]

i was a wee bitty nervous about the colour match, but its came out great, the cars sitting in the sun just now and the colour match is perfect
