Punto Evo My Punto evo GP.

Re: My Punto evo GP

Perhaps they meant the twin tip only for the sport version, which would be stupid I know! But I could see that being the case.



The exhaust on my sport is straight out (with a chunk out of the bumper and trim around it). Oddly the trim is plastic, why isn't it metal?

Nice looking GP, btw

Re: My Punto evo GP

I just wished Fiat would have made the big black bits on the front and rear bumpers body coloured, would have made an even better looking imo.

Early days, it may come along in a later revision I am guessing. The old Ford Ka didn't have coloured bumpers for ages, then they revised it. Perhaps Fiat may do the same.

I have silver inserts on mine which compliments the white better than the black IMO, but if body colour was available would have had that over the silver any day.

I'm spraying my calipers blue and the drum brake at the back too.

Not sure if this effects warrenty though

Nope it wouldn't, warranty only covers the mechanical parts.

Car looks nice!
Red mirrors would be a nice touch!

I remember when my mum bought a Nissan Almera brand new in 2004 it came with a 3year warrenty but the car had to be serviced by Nissan(at your cost) and no mods where allowed in them 3 years to body work or mechanicly! Even fitting a new CD player would make the warrenty void!

Also the Services had to be carried out every 9 months or 12,000miles, somthing stupid, considering the car hardly did any miles it was serviced at 12miles then at 4k
I remeber where my dad told them to shove there warrenty after the 1st year

I've seen anabarth with the black bumper inserts colour coded and it just does not look right. Also it's very hard to get an exact colour match

I've just went to see what was happening with the car this morning and it had arrived .I won't be able to pick it up until tuesday since it has to "go through the system" . I wanted to wait until it was all polished etc until I put photos on here but I couldnt contain myself lol.

So here it is...

P.s. When i get it on tuesday and I give a good clean etc i'll upload more pics





Ditchy,
I've just bought your old car for my son up in sunny Scotland.

What a hassle I've had with the insurance company though as someone has "de-badged" it so they were not going to cover it.

Managed to persuade them after sending lots of pictures.

Anyway, just letting you know it's still in great condition.

When did you get rid of it?

I'll let you know how she drives tomorrow, 11/10/18, when I collect it.

Well, the car was driving perfect up until Thursday night when this happened!

Still waiting to see if anyone can help me as I'm totally lost.

I've never heard of this happening before.

Cheers Shiny.
