Then i bought another set of alloys for the car after skidding on black ice and buckling one alloy on the kerb :(
They are the Evo Sporting alloys.

Next thing i did was get rid of the horrible yellow tint from the lights-

Team HEKO Wind Deflectors-

Then when i needed my brake pads changing i opted for the upgraded Greenstuff pads with the EBC front grooved discs-

I ran the car like this for a few months then i had a fantastic oppurtunity to buy these lovely RAYS alloys replicas and considering i was going to get the Evo alloys sprayed black, i spent the money on buying some already black alloys instead! :)

Then i ordered some orange rim tape along with my spigot rings, gave them a bit of a clean up and this is how they are right now-

These are going to go on when i finally pull my finger out and fit my Eibach Sportline springs-

Im sure most people know but they're Forge underbody braces.


So yeah, thats how the car stands atm- should be fitting my springs and the new alloys within the next week or 2 then ill have the car looking almost exactly how i want minus a Cupra Splitter & Black front headlights and also need to get round and vinyl my front bumper at some point!

All comments welcome,

If your after black abarth headlights, get on the phone to all parts south west, ive got mine on order and they'v got another 3 sets comming aswell, be quick coz i think they sell out quick and its taken two months to get them, should have them by the end of next week (i paid around £250 for mine).

£250 isnt really that good of a price.. im thinking about getting some Dayline DRL headlights for it now, can pick em up for £215 and they look the dogs b******* :)

Heres the abarths for 90 odd quid each-

I really want to but orange fades badly so the paint underneath them will be a darker shade of orange and im not sure how noticable it'll be.
Mehhh... it will clean up the look so i might just do it :rolleyes:

ahh true, im sure you wont be able to notice can always put them back on if the colour fade to too bad.
when I took my rear punto badge off there was a ghost image of the badge but thats long gone now after a few cleans and polishes.:)
 
You car rocks!! What make of alloy wheels gave you got? and where dud you purchase them from! they look great!!
Did you redo your b pillars?
As mine are peeling and look horrid!

Under my punto badge I have true orange colour where it has faded bur it looks cool, will soon fade as weather is sunny and the more it us cleaned and pollished.

Cheers for the comments guys! :)

Someone asked about the alloys on page 1 and here's my reply-

The black & orange alloys are actually called Ace C047 alloys if anyone wants to try find a set, they come in 4x100 fitment but the centre bore is 73.1mm so you'll have to buy spigot rings to get em to fit on a Grande Punto's 56.6mm CB.

And yeah, my b-pillars are looking a tad worse for wear aswell.. just pondering whether to do them like a dark carbon fibre or gloss black again! hmm... :rolleyes:
