Hey buddy, nice GP.

Not sure whether i like the chrome mirror covers. but alloys look very abarth!

Get that top grill painted black matey!!!!

 

[6hamilton]

Cheers mate....about the mirrors hear what you say but i like the black/chrome look myself so i'm happy with them

Bought the car Jan 09 from an auction for £4800 with 42k...good price but got even better when i paid....they managed to charge me £1000 less so used that to pay for improvements and sort out paintwork.

Looks good ! i have just sold my black S3 for a punto, I didn't have the chrome mirrors on my S3 as i thought they looked pants (and cost an absolute fortune too!) but they look good on the punto, might invest in some for mine when i get it on thursday.

What are those rims on the silver punto, they look like audi rims?

Those wheels are discontiued...some sites still show them but they have no stock....i almost got the last set from TSW but they were damaged so didn't bother.

Very nice, how are you getting on with the pedals, have you driven it with wet trainers on yet?
My last car was a Honda Civic 2.2 sport and it too had the metal pedals but when you first got in with wet trainers it could be a bit slippy.

I would guess it's pretty quick as my Civic had almost identical BHP and torque and that was a lot heavier.

Can't say i've noticed it TBH but maybe there are different types.....these have small rubber strips that seem to sort that problem out

Mine had rubber studs but I guess your's are still quite new and have a bit more grip.
