General my first punto

[lou5590]

Right here goes, iv had the punto for just over a week now, and i do love it.

its only a 1.4 8v, but i like it. its on an 06 plate.

i will get pictures up once i figure out how. its red. dont know what exact colour, all i know is the door handles have faded :/

anywho. i do have some plans for it. ovbs it being a 1.4 im not expecting to make it 'as fast as my mates (insert powerful car name here)'

i do want it slightly faster, as far as i can see all i need is a good induction kit, exhaust and a remap to see me hit the hp of a standard dtub 306. (90) and il be one happy bunny

Welcome Lou

* I'm a fellow noob here so anything I say you can ignore if you want as I'll probably be wrong lol *

Congrats on the purchase. Is it your first motor or you had previous chariots?

Re: pics, click the MANAGE ATTACHMENTS button which is in additional options section underneath typing box when making a thread or reply and upload JPEG files from your desktop, USB stick or folders etc. I think there's a limit as to how many you can upload, and as far as I'm aware remotely hosted embedded (eg photobucket) pics are a no no.

Seems a shed load of info on here so pretty sure any questions you have, will have already, or will be able to be answered

Faded door handles seem to be common on the red gp's.

so after not doing anything to the car over the winter, iv started. i sprayed the silver bits on my dash white, its not much and tbh the spray job is a bit pants but i wanted to see what it looked like.
so heres the pics. i know it doesn't go with the rest of my dash at the mo but im working on it.
