Looking good...

Keep up the good work

Got some jobs coming up I'm going to replace the track rod ends, waxoyl all underneath and get the engine bay all cleaned up!

Anyone any ideas of any subtle mods?

 

[oldhammer]

Colour code the 'mirrors..

And the bump strips while you're at it.

Can I buy the Grigio silver paint from anywhere?

Or find a local body shop they should be able to mix you some up

Thinking of some mods to do to the car any ideas?

 

[darashen]

I think the silver colour really suits removal of the side bump strips. Then either colour code or completely smooth the front and rear bump strips.

Just testing the water that common phrase everyone seems to use i am not selling the car by the way just wondering on value. If it had a full 12 months MOT etc just wondering the value of the car, its got loads of service history too recently done loads new clutch, new brakes, de-cat, engine has just been re-built thanks to oldhammer , its in fantastic condition they are getting little rare cars to find now in good condition and well looked after etc its coming up to 65,000 on the clock got both keys too any ideas anyone. All i am thinking is turned 25 in July insurance is due up in November got 6 years NCB and i have had my eye on the Grande Punto Sport its not a definite thing just having a good browse... since they engines been done its like a new car running like an absolute DREAM hit 48.6mpg driving round casual too which is a massive difference to the 31-35 i was getting beforehand

 

[oldhammer]

Idont know its value..
But as you know I traded my 'yellow one in..
700 notes was the trade in value..mine was really high mileage..

The dealer has now got the yellow thing 'screen priced at 1495

I was going to go for the 'grande pun to as an upgrade but you know what I chose..

 

[corky]

Yeah i know if i trade in i would get about £700-£800 but then i would drive past the week after it would be £1495 annoys me but i would not sell this to some little kid and let them trash it because its been looked after as you know pal. Someone with a Fiat knowledge would know what they are looking at obviously if they was interested if its just some random person they would look at the reg and say £400 :bang:

 

[oldhammer]

I think 'realisticly..you couid advertise it at around 750- 900 for 'a quicker sale..
Anything above that 'I'd guess you wouid get a sale eventually ..

I think with the 'history of yours might make it sell quicker..as it needs no money spending on it..

Don't sell it 'to chavs mate they will rag it to death..

 

[corky]

Yeah am keeping it for another year possibly then see what happens

 

[bluejohn125]

Car looks great as it is, you'll lose value messing about painting all the black bits and it won't look any better - black and silver works nicely (like black and red, black and yellow...).

Just do low-key, sensible stuff that won't put anybody off the car.

Enjoy.

[corky]

Still got a few jobs to do could I pop down some time to get in that pit and waxoyl all underneath pal

 

[oldhammer]

Ihavent been messing with cars for a while now.. as I've not been too good health wise..

But the garage is always here..feel free to use it..
