Best colour for a GP = love - it,
I'm not agreat fan of big alloys ( crap roads around here - 1 tyre a month isn't funny),
out of interest what does 1 booted alloy weigh compared to the FIAT steel with tyre..??,

haha, yeah id say the same, blue and carribean orange are best, and i hate going down dirt tracks, but the tyres i recieved with the wheels are decent chunky firenza ones , there isnt too much difference in the weight though from what i remember, i think the alloys are lighter though but not by very much,

What size are them wheels and tyres ? I must say they do look very smart.

Anyway, have you told your insurance company about your news alloys. Rememeber the police can now check if them alloys are standard or not and know if you have declared them or not. If you have not declared them, then your insurance is void and could end up costing you.

Very nice alloy wheels good alternative to the Sporting alloys
Love the colour (I have the same)

Anymore plans for your car?

What I would suggest is adding the punto side skirts, rear spolier and colour coding the door mirrors and even fitting the front fog lamps as well. That way the car will look like the active sport model at least.

Like the idea of spolier, side skirts and fog lights I think are a must

Engine mods maybe induction kit
Also some tints will look good, have a look at mine with window tints if you want an idea what it will look like (link in my signature below)

Haha i not made of money im on my own insurance which is 3 grand so im skint ! Your GP Sporting is very nice, i like the window tint i might give it a try been thinking of adding some interior LED lights in footwells, blue of course, but not quite sure how to install them to the battery :/

I thought about the spoiler but wasnt sure if i liked the look however i think i may consider the side skirts, they are 17 inch alloys which i declared don worry

Paying £3,000 :O thats a bit steep even for a car!
Never knew window tints would make such a big difference to my car but I love them now, blue footwell ligts would look good, in my opinion

Im guesting your a young driver (maybe 1st time driver). No one should be paying 3 grand for any car, I believe the insurance companys are just taking the mick. I just wish the goverment would get involved and stamp this outrageous behaviour out really and made insurance affordable for all people of all ages.

Anyway I have been driving for nearly 20 years now, had dozens of cars in that time and now I own a punto 1.4 GBT 5 door and paying £353 fully comp.

May I ask, how much did they charge extra for your alloys ?

There is a Guide on how to do this, and you dont have to connect them to the battery - have a look in the Grande Punto Guides - some good stuff in there

£3000!!! I paid £2200 for my 1st Car Insurance which was a 1.7 Diesel Corsa C, was the cheapest i could find, im now paying a little over £600 Fully Comp with 3 Years NCB
