[JDYER1]

Take a look here.

May have to find the page the update is on, think its 4 or 5

Ive just lowered my tjet by 50mm front and 40mm rear. Seems to be the biggest drop you can get on just springs.
If thats not low enough then youll have to get coilovers!

Other mods?
Badgelss grill
De badge rear
De rubstrip (if it has them)
Wind deflectors
Different tip on your backbox
Vinyl the front bumper in between the grills.
Loads you can do.

how do u debadge the rear ? didnt think it could be done. dont know wether to buy a debadge grill or just do it myself , people saying its easy

 

[Sweex]

I meant the punto badge not the fiat one and you cant debadge the front yourself as you will be left with a black circle in the middle of your grill and it will look stupid.
If you want the fiat badge off the back you need to get the recess filled and then the tailgate sprayed by a bodyshop.

aye one of my pals works with arnold clark as a panel beater so he'll be helping, think i'll order the debadged grill soon , how hard is it to vinyl the grill behind the number plate ?

 

[Sweex]

Dont know about the vinyl as i havent done it!

 

[JDYER1]

Vinyling the number plate is incredibly easy,... Just take your time over it.

What size are the alloys you're getting...?

I'd drop at least 50mm Front and 40mm rear for 17"s... And roughly 15mm more for every inch less.

15s , i dont want it slammed just a bit lower , eibach springs were 40 at the front and 35 at the back i think

15s dont really fit the arches if you get what i mean. Grande arches are huge....,..

aye a get you mate , it originally had steel wheels and the garage said theyd fit new alloys but would need to use the same wheels so i tho they would stick to 15s , but then they put a new set of tyres on si i could have had 16s

definetley needs lowered

Now you have them, the next thing is definitely to lower it, 50mm or there abouts.

Then I think,

Black grills, black hesdlights, and white mirror caps,.... SORTED.

buying the debadged front grille sometime soon , then its just spraying the bottom grill black and vinyl wrap behind the regy plate , much do you think the headlights would be ?

They arent genuine but they are made by depo who make brilliant quality oem replacement and perfect fitting lights. Mine are perfect.
