Re: Look any better?
In my honest opinion, I am going to say it looks worse.
Nice car all the same though, hope you are enjoying it. I drove one week or so back, they are quite nippy!

Well being 17 and not being allowed to do much due to insurance i think it looks a lot better that some plastic crap covering steel wheels

Re: Look any better?
Been there, had that.
Trims off, spray paint out - white - Sorted.
Best thing I found about driving one of theses is that the power dies off at 4.5k rpm. Gutless. Hell of a lot of fun though, expecially when it's not yours.
Best off not going to Halfords, that place and the typical styling of a 17 year old decimates young drivers image.
EDIT - I take it your parents bought you this car?

Re: Look any better?
To be honest I have tried to make my car to suit what I like and from the comments from mates and random people walking past I think they think it looks a lot better and stands out more

Yer did think of that but as the wheels have been on a couple of weeks now they have seemed to of sort of lowered a little bit and it looks alright now. They look a little high in the picture as this was as soon as they went on the car.

Re: Look any better?
I think a fiat 'GP' spoiler and tinted windows would finish it off.
Look at my car for the spoiler.

Re: Look any better?
I will never understand why fiat changed the grande from what it was into the Evo, it was so much better looking before. They did the same thing with the mk2 putno as well, its beautiful compared to the 2b.
Opinions on your car. You have just changed the wheels and not taken a side on picture that pea-shooter looks silly hanging under the bumper as well

Re: Look any better?
You have your opinion but I feel that and Im sure other will agree the Punto evo does look better. I have just changed what I have wanted to as dont want 100's of mods I just want it to look a bit different. I also had the exhaust under the bumper as I didn't want to cut into the bumper

Re: Look any better?
I had not even noticed the exhaust until Blu mentioned it, is it a new back section or just a shiny end?
TBH, they are not alloys I would have chosen, but they look better than the hubs.

Re: Look any better?
Your car, your stylings. As long as you are happy that's fine. I wasn't having a go last time, just voicing my opinion.
A lot of people will notice that it's a near new car with after market alloys on it and always wonder why. Still unsure why you didn't get OEM alloy wheels.
As others have said on the thread, lowering is must.
I can't see how you think the Evo looks better than the Grande in anyway shape or form. The grande looks century's better from every angle. Less cluttered, Simple yet effective design, the only thing the Evo has over the grande is the dash IMO.

Re: Look any better?
I agree with you I would of rather of got Fiats alloys but when ordering my car they wanted to charge a min of £800 so by thinking for about 1 second I decided to get some aftermarket ones once I got the car. Another family memeber of mine had a GP and I feel that from the front the Evo looks better but I suppose everyone looks at them differently. I had taken a side pic of when my alloys were being put on and I think most people will think they look better than before....

Each to there own, so long as you like it its all that matters really. Don't take this the wrong way but what do you expect people to say when it is just a car with aftermarket wheels. We all like fiats thats why we're here...

Re: Look any better?
i really like it mate, i wouldnt take notice of certain others, there like that on most peoples threads, id love to see it lowerd 35m all around and black'd out windows on the back would look nice, good luck with future mods

Re: Look any better?
You're wrong. If it looks crap, I'll say it does. Plenty of others have said the same. It's a car with after market alloys and that is it. They don't even suit the styling of the car, but that's a different story.
Lowering sounds good too, wouldn't say Tinting windows though.

Re: Look any better?
Good choice of car and colour. Alloys are not to my taste but if your happy then that is all that matters.
I have same car same collor but with italian stripes. I also had the wheel hubs when I got the car, but with some moaning to the dealer abotu certain things I got some 11 Spoke fiat alloys on mine (still need to put a pic up of what it looks like now).

Re: Look any better?
i think people need to look at there own car before they jump on peoples threads saying there car looks crap thats all, why cant u say the exhaust pipe is not to your taste instead of saying somthing like 'get rid of the pee shooter' its stuff like that , that makes this forum bad, just chill out and say what u do like instead of judgeing sum1s pride and joy , when most of you have alot worse cars than this, its funny how the people who critasize other peoples cars on lots of threads always have old bangers
