Welcome to the forum :wave:

Linea grille will eat your budget up entirely, try what I did, and many others have done:
https://www.fiatforum.com/grande-punto-guides/141617-front-vinyl.html

Gives a similar effect.

Sound wise, not too sure what you could get for under £200, I went full Vibe, 2 amps, front and back speakers, and a sub - about £1200 worth of kit for £400/£500 so shop around, get last years models where possible - same peice of kit just not the "new shape".

Stripes are something I like, but it's personal choice I suppose. Defo get the windows tinted, and alloys are a must.

nice one lads thanks for the welcomes

i really want to enhance the sound system it isnt that bad compared to previous motors(1988 mini advantage, 96 reg polo).

but still needs a bit of a push in the right direction the vinyl thing seems cool,any other piks of the vinyls would be cool eg front shots,if it makes it look like a linea grille and it saves money then id say its a winner, also if i take a front view of my car would someone photoshop one on whilst on the photshop front any chance of some silver stripes been photoshopped on side if i put some picks up i like yours venomco ???

i really want some new wheels but bit out of budget at the mo,so il work on other parts alloys are a distant target for now i wana run on real wide tyres,but anyway back to the styling on a budget,

dont think the vinyl would work with yourt car as you have a black GP.

subtle free mods like taking the punto badge off the back, taking the guararouo stickers off the side, stripes would be good too not that expensive, silver indicator bulbs are a must too. plenty of small things to do without pushing the bank balance too much!

 

[Smally]

if i had £200
i would tint the windows for £100 cud b less dependant on how many windows u get done
tint the back lights with tint spray £10
stripes £35
front speakers (fli 3 way) or components if you can find any cheap/used £30
sub n amo deal n wiring kit for £50
taking u £25 over budget but all could be done to budget with deals

anyway thats what i would do

also get blue or silver indicator bulbs, led interior light & debadge the back n fit everything yourself

 

[richieboy]

nice one smally cheers and every one else

iv bought some of those chrome indicators,there on there way,they easy ti fit?

that tinted spray for the lights sounds good piks would be helpfull

smally sent u a PM, the stripes i wana go custom so il look around but the tinted windows i always get thrown off these with the legalallitys behind them?? enlighten please

 

[Smally]

new legislation says you cant tint the windscreen or front windows
the rest you can tint as much as u want.
n grandej has tinted his back lights it cheap n easy to do i wil be doing at some point
i think all the rear lights can be tinted as there are no reflectors on the rear lights.
also give the ice section a budget like u did us n they will sort u out wid a good system.
found his lights bad pic but hay

 

[richieboy]

the speakers u mentioned fly by3 was it??

have you got those and do they fit easy nough into the door pockets?

im not so keen on the tinted lights,love that exhaust tho another distant mod lol

right lads thanks for the advise il be back with my purchases lol probly post piks too.

so i have chrome bulbs in transit,think il look into some stripes and erm see from there thanks again

 

[Smally]

Not quite as much as you want with the tints, pretty certain they have to allow 60-70% of light through (someone will confirm this).

yep a 2min job just unscrew the old ones and rescrew the new ones in!

 

[punto_matt]

For a budget of £200 you could get a decent HU thats about it really ICE wise. Depends what you want from it though. If you were just gonna put cheap sub in then personally wouldnt bother upgrading the speakers to start with as a cheap sub isnt gonna drown them out or blow them unless you listen to it at really stupid volumes.

 

[richieboy]

im just thinking of new door speakers for now no sub just yet,iv decided that tinted windows new wheels for now iv seen some i like so need a bit extra for the ones i want so it will be a while yet,might get the windows done next month

 

[punto_matt]

You could get some good componants for £200

 

[richieboy]

chrome bulbs have arrived i want them in ma rear indicators any one got a guide and how easy it is

iv got blue ones in the front so,i hope its possible for them to go in the rear ones,


cheers
