Here are a few pics of car from when i started modding it January 2009-Present.

Last pic shows new dotz alloys.
The dub edition came with a blaupunkpt DAB stereo and a different interior and a dub vinyl. That about it. Based on a 1.2 active model.

 

[ycming]

Are the dub editio only a 1.2? They do look good i nthe flesh.

[johnlad27]

Yeah they are based on a 1.2 active model. I have seen a active sport modeled DUB edition, wouldnt have minded that but i got big plans for that next year hopefully. So all change again lol

 

[Glenza69]

Just curious, but did it come with the front fogs fitted, or did you get them installed?

 

[BenYoung]

wow your car looks identical to my friends. he has the blue punto with them dotz alloys. his isnt the dub edition tho. nice car the bro. if it does look like my friends it really stands out in a crowd

 

[johnlad27]

Bit of an update. Havent got any recent pictures as the weathers been crap up north.

Looking at getting some mjet or tjet alloys and hopefully saving for some coilovers ( decent set though) and hoping to get the roof and spoiler sprayed glossy black.

 

[johnlad27]

Just curious, but did it come with the front fogs fitted, or did you get them installed?

Yeah i got those fitted after i bought the car. Prefer the look of that front end compared to those horrid grilles

 

[smokeyjoe03]

Long time no see mate, plans sound good. I'm looking for coilies too, lemme know if you see a decent deal

also, the breather pipe for your gsr, where did you get it from and how much?

 

[ysidfa]

Hey man, have you got any pictures of the exhaust? Was the leather seating stock on the DUB edition?

Cheers
Tom

 

[johnlad27]

Yeah need to get some newer pictures uploaded so will do it this weekend. And no i got a bargain on them, £75 for both seats. Some guy had them in a sporting and he upgraded to those recaro's out of VXR's.

 

[ysidfa]

Ahh not bad, Im due a mass picture upload soon lol be sure to check my MM out
haha

Quick Update. Trying to get Finance on a Tjet/Mjet as insurance is the same on both. If im unsuccessful, then im spending some money on the 1.2. Coilovers, New Alloys and Interior changes will all be coming, like i said if im not able to afford the Finance Costs etc.

Just a few pictures most recently after a late night carwash lol

 

[Jamie]

i dont get the "dubarth"?

 

[GotGrande]

i dont get the "dubarth"?

Guessing because its the DUB edition with Abarth back-box etc...

a gimmick then lol

 

[GymJunkie]

a gimmick then lol

its not really a gimmick is it just a play on words - instead of just having the title 'my 1.2 grande punto'
