[kaci1991]

Hey guys,

Does anyone know where I can buy a badgeless front grill for my car at a reasonable price? Can't seem to find anything on ebay or anything Also need a new glovebox lid as the handle on my is broken.

Any ideas, please let me know! Also, thinking of spraying my alloys to dark grey.. Any opinions? Thanks!

you only need a new handle and mech to fix your glovbox, iirc its two screws to remove

nice pics btw love the moving shots

I got my grill from http://www.venommotorsport.com/ which was reasonably priced at £40 if I remember and was delivered rather quickly

Looking good mate!

 

[kaci1991]

Thanks guys, I'll have a look on that website so that it can officially be added to the 'list'! As well as a new handle for the glovebox..

Been out today in the rare-ity that is 'the sun' and taken some photos, will put them up tomorrow

Also, I'm wanting to de-badge the back of the GP at some point.. Or actually thinking of moving the badge from where it is now to where it is on the Evos - just under the main Fiat badge... But.. I have absolutely no idea on how to de-badge it.. Tried looking on guides but haven't found anything (not sure if I'm looking in the right place) so put a post up on there but nobody seems to answer? lol.. Any ideas anyone? Your help would be appreciated!

Just get a hairdryer on the badge to warm it up a bit n it will peel straight off. Then just give it a wash where the badge used to be to get rid of any sticky bits that might be left behind

oh right, knew it would be something simple just didn't know how!! Thanks Do you know how I would then move it, just a bit of glue on the same badges and put it where I want or would I need to buy a new badge?

A lot of the black gp's have orange interior mate.

Debadge grill

Rear lights :yuck: Get abarths!

As for De-punto'ing, mine attempts to come off when i wash her with warm water. They go a bit loose and are easily manipulated into slightly slanted positions. So just a bit of heat is required Simples. They should just restick once you warm them up and move them. Do it on a cool day and they'll stick better after they've been away from the hairdryer again.

Yeah, I wasn't too sure about the Orange interior at first, but I kinda like it now Especially the Orange Smarties effect lol

Yeah... I can't decide on those rear lights, I like them there but not sure how they would actually look on the car Only thing is mine is a series 1 and the Abarth rear lights would be for a series 2 I think so a lot of trouble with changing the electrics or something? I was originally thinking of getting the Evo lights as I like them but that's the same electricals problem.. If you have any idea how to fit either of them??

The abarth rear lights arent series related so they will fit ANY series grande punto its the front lights that have different series for fitments and i think abarth rears look great! :slayer:

 

[Wisey]

Just to reiterate that rears are not series dependent. Fronts are. So get Abarth rears, so much nicer. For such a subtle change, its amazing how much it sets the car off IMO.

Don't go for those tacky aftermarket rears, OEM+ is sooooo much cleaner/meaner and not to mention,...classier.

 

[kaci1991]

oh right, so I'll leave those then and get the Abarth ones I think Like I said, I was looking at the Evo lights rather than the Abarth ones but if the Abarth ones will fit will prob go for them..

Is it a massive pain to get the darker headlights (the grey ones) on the series 1, as think they are the series 2 ones? Would like different headlights but don't want to be messing with it too much!

Would require slight rewiring i believe to make S2 fit an S1. Just buy S1 Abarth fronts too even easier, and on a black car even better than the dark grey ones. Unless your really settled on the great ones ofcourse

Evo rears are nice, if you fancy rewiring it all. I believe RuSZ has done his, iirc he has warning lights on though. Can be done though.
