Grande Punto Budgie's GP

Lovely looking motor someone correct me if I'm wrong but you can't separate the badge on the steering wheel. Its an airbag unit too so the only way is somehow adapting a stick on badge or new airbag unit .

Can be done. They only clip in.

There's a guide here somewhere.

I like the alloys, maybe get them finished in something like smoked chrome?

A very smart car this

Yeah they are like bubbling and all scraped, might get them sandblasted and resprayed ;P

Depending on where you live, Midlands Car Care in Walsall do a fantastic job with alloys and detailing.

Saying that someone travelled from Inverness to get some work done!

Give them a bell.

Okay so little update,
Used a hairdryer and old credit card to remove the punto badge from the back. Results are good, it looked a little weird at first with it being really clean where the letters where haha but after a wash it looks great!

Also just ordered a Curpa R Splitter and a FK badgeless front grill
Hopefully the splitter is not too much of a pain too fit :S

I will update with pics when i have them all fitted

 

[Paterson1]

Ayyee just the same haha

Seriously when you get them sprayed update with photos im wanting mine white!

 

[Budgieee]

Had some fun today with a karcher lance I bought off ebay

 

[Budgieee]

Also got my splitter in the post today not going to fit it just yet :/ going to fit abarth headlights at the same time so the bumper only needs to be off once so whenever I can afford them I'll give an update haha

 

[Budgieee]

Abit spontaneous, but i have just bought a set of alloys :yum:
should be here next week ish, will get some picks up when they are all tired up

 

[Corinneeee]

Very lovely car!

I'm in exactly the same position.. bought mine around 2 weeks ago.. unsure whether to lower it and waiting upon reply re tinting the back windows.

Smoked chrome would look ace on your alloys, one of the reasons I love my GP

 

[Budgieee]

Im 100% lowering mine, especially with aftermarket alloys, the arch gap is going to be huge :S
Im really skint now though so ill need to wait a few weeks at least until anything else happens haha !
