Grande Punto my gp 1.2 active

[ysidfa]

Hey, Liking the colour not seen too many of this colour about
Personally, I would go for:
Tint rear windows
OEM Alloys (sporting 17"s)
Eibach Sportlines
Spray top and bottom grills
Fogs
Osram Diadem indicator bulbs
Mtec 501 xenon sidelights
and of course...
Fiatforum.com stickers :slayer:

oh and welcome to the forum

 

[GrandeBenj]

hey, thanks for the advice, yeah i love the colour, ive not seen many either, any advice on where to find some alloys

 

[ysidfa]

Its worth looking on ebay, classifieds section on Fiatforum and TorqueItalia and a website that ive found interesting and a good source of wheels is WheelWhores
Depends what sort of style your going for.. OEM+ is the favoured style for Grandes, but the smoothed/cleaned look is starting to get a bit more popular
Check out Jamies Grande Punto on Cleaned UK for ideas on this

Nice Car.

For now I would get a rear spoiler, some 17 inch alloys, tint the rear windows and colour code the door handles. After that I think it would be your own perosnal choice of what to do with your car. I think black alloys would look really nice on it!

Looks good. Where in Derbyshire you from then?

hi, here is my gp ive had it two weeks now.
i just wanted everyones opinion on what mods i should do as it is completely standard.

Hi Benj & Welcome here!

Before you spend anything on accessories & modding, call your Insurer & see how much money they will want from you for the pleasure...

Nice motor
Someone near me has the same colour you dont see many about. If you want to change the whole look of the car and make it look sporty and eye catching in one simple mod it would be wacking some decent alloys on. I did a few minor mods to mine and it still looked stock. New alloys on and bam! Looks like a beast and when i park up anywhere it turns heads.
And one other thing that i would reccomend on any GP that isnt black is get the section where ypur front number plate sits vinyled black. Then spray the grills to match. Many members on the forum do it and it makes the car look a whole lot more mean looking
After that lowering looks beast with 17 inch alloys as kt makes the arches sit nicely round the alloys. Eibach for a nice sporty look. Or fk coilovers for a customizeable drop but most people use these if they want to slam it.
Will keep an eye on this thread. Im new to the GP aswell so your not far behind me

Make sure you get some spacers on your alloys if you lower it, Gives it a gorgeous stance and road pressance! (spellings crap )

Do spacers make your wheels stick out a little more? Never really been sure haha

 

[ysidfa]

Yeah, they add a few mm onto the width so making you wheels sit flush with your arches,if its lowered on sportlines with GPS alloys, they look sweet IMO!

 

[BenYoung]

My aftermarket alloys are already sitting quite wide they just pertrude past the arches so im thinking when i lower it will look beast!

 

[ysidfa]

Sounds sweet! Have you got a MM thread?

 

[BenYoung]

Yeah its like 3 pages in. Cba to find a link its called Bens grande 'SMOG' or something

 

[GrandeBenj]

Cheers for the input guys, ive got it booked for window tints on tuesday so ill upload some more pics on here then, and as for alloys im in the process of sourcing some, and as for the vinyl the front bumper is it best to get someone professional to do it cheers guys.

 

[Ffoxy]

Ignore the Insurance Post at your peril... ANY mod should be declared or worst case scenario is...

You wont be covered...

 

[GrandeBenj]

hi, yeah the insurance company will be told, thats all i need not being covered, so i will be declaring the lot, thanks for the advice

 

[GrandeBenj]

Looks good. Where in Derbyshire you from then?
