I doubt it would be cost efficient, you will be lucky to get 5-10 bhp from a remap on a sound.

What size engine is a sound? 1.2 ?

yeah, pretty sure its a 1.2.

 

[skinner05]

They are a 1.4 but without much punch

Theres no point then copey unfortunatley. Unless you want and have big bucks to waste? Spend a bit of money making it look good : ) Take a few looks at the guides and see if theres anything that takes your fancy : )

Ok thanks for the aevice, didn't buy it for speed tbh, I'm looking for an exhaust, induction kit, m-jet alloys, and xenons? I previously fitted a HID kit on my old Arosa so I might just fit one of them. Any suggestions would be great, it's a White 2010 punto sound only 3 weeks old and before you ask it's mine not mummy & daddy

Good lad : ) There is a guide on here for putting a white L.E.D Strip in the footwell which looks fantastic. Ive done it on mine and really looks good and was extremely cheap too : ) Bought the strips off of ebay for about £5 delivered : ) And The M-Jet alloys are really nioce aswell. Looking to get mine re-furbed as the previous owner and kurbed them to bits and they are flaking away : (

And be careful with the HID's as The GP Headlamps are not the projector type so It is technically illegal but a few people on the forum have it done and it does look good. Depends what the police are like in your area, Im in essex and they're everywhere!

So I personally think you should leave the performance and get the footwell lights done, Tingt your windows as that looks nice on white GP and new alloys and that will begin to be looking good my friend : )

 

[skinner05]

The best first mod will be 17inch alloys and to perhaps lower it aswell. They just look a bit daft on 15s as it sits way too high

 

[Copey21]

I'm goin to fit the HIDs as they're quite cheap and cops tend to target chavs in saxos up here, I'm goin to tint the rear lights a touch I think and the rear windows, is there a sportier rear bumper for the GP? Also what lowering springs are recommended? I really want it to purr and I want a decent twin exhaust poking out the back. You think it's do-able without voiding warranty?

 

[willeywilson]

No sportier rear bumper, but there are add-ons, air dams like mine, rear bumper spoiler which is the same but without the "diffuser" fins, both available from fiat, or the novitec kits. the fiat kits needs smoothing in to look good (like mine =D ) the novitec look ok just "stuck on"

 

[DJSparky]

Fair enough. And yeah you can but im not sure what the 'Sound' Comes with but there is the Linea and Novitec ones. and I know alot of people go for eibach sportlines but I know nothing about these so you will have to ask other members about these. Im probably wrong on the ones Ive just said.

And you could go for the Abarth exhaust ?

As for warranty im guessing it depends what the problem is with your car but I would presume things like new springs and exhaust would affect it. But ask around and see what other people have had done to theirs as I only have Re-map and a few odd bits done here and there.
