Re: Grande Punto Sporting T-Jet

A few weeks ago i decided to get the rear windows tinted, im not 100% happy with them i may go darker eventually. I also removed the engine cover and substituted a piece of chromed metal pipe for the hose to attach to. Then came the forge air intake and a custom cat-back exhaust system to make the most the air intake.

Next up i hope to lower it on eibach sportlines and get some EBC grooved discs and pads. Im deciding if its worth getting an abarth turbo or to just get a custom map as it is.

Gives me a good idea of what my pro race 1.2's would look like in white

i think the pro race alloys look mint in either black or white, it was 50/50 which colour i was going to get but after seeing some shots of the abarth ss in red with white wheels i knew i had to get them in white, just a shame they are an absolute cnut to keep white!

Nice to see you've got a thread up Love the red/white combination

How does the exhaust sound then? Is it how you wanted it?

The exhaust is not as loud as i thought it was going to be, possibly because my rear wheel bearing has reached about 100 db and i cant hear anything over it! That should be fixed tomorrow so i will let you know how it sounds

Re: Grande Punto Sporting T-Jet

Re: Grande Punto Sporting T-Jet

Got my wheel bearing done under warranty, removed my back seats and have booked to have the window tints re-done as i wasnt happy with them not being dark enough due to the glass roof letting light in. Also getting a limo tint sunstrip fitted aswell and am looking into ordering some sportlines this week :slayer:

Not fond on the exhaust... prefer the abarth-type exhausts. Where about's you from in Shrops?

I was going to go for the GPA style ones but the twin exit was too small for my tastes and i didnt want to cut the bumper to fit a bigger exit in the cut-out. Im from Hinstock near Market Drayton :slayer:
