Grande Punto Grande Punto Sporting ... 3 Years On

Introduction

Doesn't seem that long ago since the keys were handed to me in the dealers, however my car is now 3 years old and so I thought i'd post up some pictures of how it currently looks.

It passed its first MOT at the start of february and apart from servicing has only ever needed to go back to the garage a couple of times. Two of which were for safety recalls and another was for both top strut mounts to be replaced, of which only one had gone.

There are still a few things I'd like to do, most importantly to lower it on some Eibachs which will hopefully be done before this summer.

Not that noticable in the pictures, but it is in person. I also had the dashboard strip out yesterday and finished the carbon-vinyl on the passenger side. And tried an orange P on the front grill, but not sure wether I like it or not yet.

Thought i recognised that Garage :D

Looks so much better now it's been lowered and handles so much better.

Car's looking good Andy (y)
 
hi there does any one knows the offset off original 1.9 sporting 17 inch alloys? can anyone help me out please?
 
You wanted to know what colour to do your alloys yes????

Another slight update ...

I havn't got that far on the new alloys with refurbing them yet as ive been busy recently. I've got all four cleaned and sanded back and one of them has had the primer finished. Ive still yet to decide on a colour ...

This is what they looked like when I picked them up:

And, once finished with primer:

It will take me a while to get them done but even if there only done ready for next summer I won't be too bothered.
