General Grande Punto Series 2 Details

[manthatkidisscrewed]

from wat i gather (and this is for the sporting model really, not sure about the others)
-Lights are different (tinted - more towards the abarth)
-wheels are different (more towards the abarth)
-Interior seats and dials are different
-introduced cool new key fobs!

but yeah, everything is still the same fitment so logically its just plug and play...i'm thinking about giving the dials a bash but i'll have to see what my dealer say. Everything should just plug right on though!!

Go for it. I would like some of those dials too

Spoke to MotorProvider today and am reieved to say it wasn't too late to add my opitions, so it should now come with the new wheels, tints, climate control and chrome mirrors...

The only choice I'm not sure about is that I've chosen the new Ska red over Exotica - but if as Scoog says it is likely to be a dark red replacement for Bolero, then I'm not sure I'm making the right decision?!

I wish FIAT would bloody update their website so I can see the difference in colour. I may just play it safe and go back to Exotica before it's too late...

 

[OCZedd]

Hey yeah I would say go for exotica

 

[venomco]

Exotica ftw

 

[Whintersby]

They've just rung and said Fiat have changed it (back) to Exotica.

They must be getting right pissed off with me keep changing my mind - that's about 4 times now

Cool, i've been eye'ing up a Grand Punto Sporting T-Jet for a while now. Looking to get one toward the back end of this year.

Gonna wait till the Fiat website is all updated etc so i can see some pictures of the new colours, and the new things being brought in for the series 2.

like all the changes apart from the wheels, they look too small and pants imo like the dials and dash changes alot though!

 

[punto_matt]

I want those lights

CF style dash looks cool and i like the needles on the clocks might have to see if they can be swapped over hmmmmmm

 

[Skitz]

Looks nice

 

[Whintersby]

Well the new Grande Punto is available to view / order over on Fiat.it, so SURELY the english website can't be THAT far away!? Maybe?

agreed. But can we see the elimination of the white dials? NOT cool

Nothing suprises me tbh

Think about all the abarth release dates...

White dials should of stayed but i prefer the new needles that are on the series 2

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

it does look really jacked up on that pic...the wheels can't be that small or have they ****ed with the suspension?

white dials wld have been nice but i think i prefer the current sporting seats to the series 2...the little dots have grown on me lol

 

[danielrostron]

Think i might call into my local fiat dealer see if they got any new brochures in or anything.

hadn't thought of tht...let me knw if they do

I spoke to FIAT UK the other day and they told me to see my local dealer as they should have brochures. However, this is the same dealer who knew "nothing about" series 2 last week, so I somehow doubt they have any.

Also, I wanted more than anything information on the new colours - which FIAT UK said they probably wouldn't have any information on (Not even in the brochure?!)

Weird. Such lack of communication going on somewhere...
