Cheers I want to go to some shows but I always think my car ain't good enough to show off lol it's pretty basic if you think about it. I might considering going once I get the car lowered so it doesn't look like it's on stilts

Looks really good, just out of interest have you got the metal number plates? It looks like it from your boot build pic

Ah right I see, are they actually legal? i.e. with manufacturer's name etc

Well i got them off ebay, and they said that there 100% legal. There the same length as normal plates and have actually got all the reflective marks that you need so i guess there legal?

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Considering Getting The Car Lowered, Been Quoted £220 For The Car To Be Lowered On Apex Springs With A Drop Of 35mm. Anybody Know Whether This Is A Good Deal?

Also Considering Selling The Car Soon And Moving To A Golf? Opinions?

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

you could get the better quality Eibach sportline springs yourself for 150ish then if you have the experience fit them yourself or get them fitted for like 40 quid. so i would say no to what you have been quoted.

edit:
the apex springs cost 110 quid new so your basically paying another 110 just for fitting. ridiculous!

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

Pretty pricey!

Depends what spec of Golf?

 

[Riichard92]

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

It's trying to find somebody to fit the springs for me though I seem to be getting quoted a lot to have them fitted.

Looking on moving onto a golf mk5 1.6 just want a bigger engine now cause 1.2 is too slow for me plus the mpg is bad as I'm always on the motorway.

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

my mate has a golf hes the same age as me '18' his insurance is sky high 1 grand more than mine. and if anything gets broken or needs replacing its gonna flatten your wallet more than a punto would.

theres nothing wrong with 1.2's nowadays because everywhere is built up and busy roads, there nippy for going in and out of traffic in citys, there not for track days.

if you want a faster car just upgrade to a t jet like sugested there alot more responcesive when you put your foot down

good luck with whatever choice you make tho

Re: My Fiat Grande Punto 1.2

I wouldn't mind staying with fiat there a reliable car, but going up to a 1.9 surely my insurance would be really expensive due to my age?
