Grande Punto Ash's Chemical Grey TJet!

[ashleycox93]

Hi there guys. I've been browsing the forum and asking a bunch of annoying questions for a while now, so I thought I'd start up a progress thread.

I haven't done any modifications yet, but by show season, it's going to be gorgeous.

Mods will consist mainly of cosmetic enhancements, but maybe later in the year when I start earning more money and I have another years' no claims bonus I'll look at getting more power!

Here's some pictures, I bloody love it to be honest, I know it's standard but I'm sure you'll all agree they're cracking cars.




Mods will include:

Rotiform BLQ Alloys (on their way)
Coilovers of some kind (TBH, budget ones for now)
Colour coding bits and bobs in a nice purple colour

Honestly, that's it at the moment but I'm sure I'll do lots of little bits.
Any little touches you guys wanna let me know about, go for it.

Thanks for looking guys, looking forward to hearing from you.

-Ash.

Be interesting to see the wheels once they are on! Cost a pretty little penny as well!
Sounds like you have good plans, brilliant colour as well, love these in grey!
Look forward to upgrades.

Funny you should mention actually, it is 4x100 but the CB is 57.1... Even though on rotiformuk it says 56.5 just because I put my cars info in haha

aparently it's fine though, as long as I am careful when putting them on in case they're inbalanced

 

[Sweex]

You could get spigots to go to 56.6 which would be better.

GUYS the wheels are on. Slight issue. ANY HELP is appreciated.

The wheels have quite a lot of poke, too much almost. I don't know how the guy in that picture has got his to fit like that because mine don't :/ do I need arch rolling maybe? Here's a picture or two.





and the rear



PS it isn't lowered yet, the coilies are on their way, do you think that will help? Apparently you get a bit of natural camber?

Any help will be appreciated guys I am beginning to get worried haha.

 

[alx]

ashleycox93 I had my eye on these, what size did you get? 8x17? Coilovers will help slightly, but you've got quite abit of poke.

Which Coilovers did you get?

If you get it sitting like that pic sweex posted

 

[Sweex]

That car is probably on air bags.
They dont look to be poking too much you might hopefully be lucky and get the right amount of natural camber. If not, a bit of stretch will sort it out.

I believe it is, but you could get near to that stance.
