Grande Punto My Green '06 Grande

[Theta2]

If I was embarrassed I wouldn't be posting on a forum each to their own i suppose.
Theta2 your car still looks great regardless

Thanks buddy

That green colour is spot on,I really like it.

Me too, the colour is what made me fall in love with the car and get rid of my Mk2 punto

 

[Theta2]

Needs alloys, spacers and lows now!

Done a bit of tarting up the mirrors, bonnet panel and door handles with a can of Matt black today

Then it was on to work on the Delta, interior removed, fuel filler and main tanks, carpets, rear doors and grinding the near side strut top for welding

Quick update: getting the car ready for AutoItalia.

Steelies painted.

Bonnet lifters fitted, one subsequently removed.

Also De'Punto'd the tailgate, sprayed the rear wiper, respray end the front top grill, fitted 5mm wheel spacer to the rear, and found a large exhaust leak which I will be welding tomorrow.

Good to see an update Theta

Those steelies seem to fit the car really well, looks good

Can't change the car too much do to it being under warranty for the next 2 years and also only being 20 so insurance isn't cheap :/

I've thought about fogs but don't like the idea of having to add an extra button :/

I'll be painting my calipers and drums soonish but probably dark

I will be adding red badges starting next week so keep your eyes peeled

The delta is not in amazing condition right now (it's stripped and undergoing restoration )

What happened to the 'can't change the car too much' eh?

Looks good though, love the lights

Not really changed a lot that affects warranty that's the only reason it isn't on coilovers yet

The car has also had new rear shocks, lower wishbones, droplinks and O/S strut top bearing recently...but it still knocks

Drop it on the floor and band the steels!

Looks awesome, a chap I work with has a GP in this colour and it's stunning in the sun.

That's the plan once I've sacked off the warranty!

Quick update: Yesterday my exhaust had an identity crisis and decided to become a colander. I welded it up today, else I would have made a rather more conspicuous entry on Sunday!

 

[Theta2]

Really could do with painting my wheels and cleaning the car before Sunday, but by the look of the weather it just isn't going to happen :/

Last minute preparations

 

[Theta2]

Something tells me I won't be taking the Delta

A quick then and now (also revealing my wheel plans):

Pressed plates arrived on Tuesday:

A couple more wheel trial photos:

Also I tried a debadged grill yesterday, it does not suit my car in the slightest, so that will be up for sale if anyone wants one cheaper than FK

They look really good

Could affect your insurance though, companies can be funny when it comes to wheels

 

[Theta2]

Cam-belt, tensioner, water pump, clutch kit, bump stops and lowering springs ordered today, it seems I'll have a few little jobs to do next week
