only problem with that... expensive to be sprayed

 

[sutera1996]

Very true..... but u can get a spray gun second hand for about £9 of ebay and DIY , like my friend did with his focus front and back bumper

Its not to difficult( ive been told lol)

hahaaa what other mods you suggest? or do i save for new bumpers / skirts

 

[sutera1996]

Colour code the mirrors/handles and side strips or do them gloss black (thats not to tricky to do with a can!) thats a pretty popular mod, as it makes it look like the HGT model!

- or u could remove the side strips if u didnt want them
- Another idea, just under the number plate, where u have the 2 gaps in the grill, get some silver mesh in there (u can buy it in sheets from halfords and cut it !) or take out the whole of the black plastic and make it all silver mesh if u wanted to stand out

had flyeyes on my old car, wasnt too impressed haha, dewiper probably not as i like to see whats behind me
yeahh id like smooth bonnet and skirts but its the spraying i dont wanna pay stupid money for and once its slammed i dont know whether skirts will scrape haha thanks for your feedback tho!

It depends what you want when modifying it. If you declare them to insurance always make sure you have the cash to buy the mods. Fit them and declare I've fallen for it far too many times on my old car lol

 

[vFez12]

tempted too smooth the front badge out and matt black the bonnet... but then the sensible side of me is telling me not too

Here are some cheap modifications you can do, just an idea wherever you do them is entirely up to you

Couldn't help but noticing you have that ugly grey/black vinyl on the side of the doors, that Fiat put on; under this is exactly same as your paint work, I believe HGT's don't have that vinyl.

All you need to remove them, is a hairdryer to heat it up but ONLY do it for 5 minutes no longer unless you want to damage the paint work! Then peal it off and get Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover which is £6.49 from Halfords get an old rag and wipe it on, then to get the residue off just use an old credit card or something similar to scrape it off that won't damage the paint work.

Now onto the wing mirrors, I highly suggest C/C them it will make the car stand out! I've done this on mine and it looks so better than the cheap looking plastic look! When getting the colour for the car you can normally find under the bonnet or go Fiat and ask them for the colour code.

There's a guide on here how to C/C them, heck if you feel like going crazy on C/C do your door handles too!

Lastly, optional but (personal taste) get the sporting bumpers I believe you can pick them up off eBay for quite cheap or pop to your local scrappy and ask for them or take them off a dead punto.

Well that's my ideas there for you

Keep up the good work, it's looking nice!

Best off getting a quote to respray it first then if u decide to do it. Save the money up. Unless your doing the oldhalfrauds or wilko gloss/matte black rattle can job lol

 

[benny279]

Ah those rattle cans can do wonders on small jobs like C/C things, but I wouldn't use it on big jobs that's for sure......

Yeah, they just double sided adhesive vinyls as I said just get a hairdryer on them for 5 minutes peal off, then use the tar remover and it'll make the car look a lot better.

Mines not a sporting it just has the colour coded bumpers, but the choice is yours it's your car you do what you like with it
