Hi, I got a few things I would do but its only a suggestion. I would colour code door handles and either remove rubstribs or paint them aswell. I think it would go with the colour coded mirrors you got already.
nice car would def change the alloys though

Im not a fan of the alloys either, but the Abarth kit looks excellent on yellow And its got the power to match the looks

i quite like the alloys just down to personal preference though.
Colour codings a good idea and id change the wing mirrors if it was mine, theyre just something i dont like about any of the puntos. But i wouldnt be in too much of a rush to change any of it cause its a nice car as it is

Very nice Looks smart as it is, but I agree with colour coding the handles & side strips.

Lovely car, welcome to the forum!
Thx ppl. Im very pleased with it.
I agree with the colour coding, when im flush with cash again im gonna think about sorting that out.
Dont really want to change the wheels, although it would make it look nice, i want to keep the Abarth look as much as possible so i think im gonna stick with the ones i got already. Can it be lowered slightly with these wheels tho???
Wing mirrors - They remind me of giant ears lol - how easy is it to replace them as they are electric??? Remember, im new to all this.
And what are these K&M Air filters?? Is it worth fitting one??
Thanx in advance for any suggestions.

You can lower it 40/50mm with 15s Any lower and speed bumps might become a problem.
Id forget wing mirrors for the time being, the fitting kit is virtually non-existant unless you dont mind drilling into the doors :shakehead Your mirrors are colour coded though, they look fine!
K&N induction kits are ok, you'll notice that engine is more responsive with one fitted especially on the 1.8. People with BMC closed air induction kits think these are much better than the open filter K&Ns maybe worth getting one of these instead. More expensive though.

Lovely car only suggestion to improve it would be to lightly tint rear windows, colour code handles etc as you say and then its got to be bigger wheels as the punto arches are massive and the 1.8 is hardly gonna struggle to turn bigger whels is it and you could keep it fiat by fitting the fiat stilo claw alloys which look really smart on puntos.
only a suggestion though mate it looks really nice as it is

Thx for the advice and comments everyone.
Ok, so im gonna leave the wing mirrors as they are. Also the wheels can stay.
Im gonna colour code it, get one of those BMC induction kits that Wolfracepunto mentioned. Also maybe tint the windows slightly.
As for headunit - funny story, see post: https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?t=27506 towards the end.
I have one for sale on Ebay if neone interested: https://www.fiatforum.com/showthread.php?t=27531
