Introduction

Bought my new car Wednesday, love it! Was going to go for C2 VTS, though my mind soon changed the second I sat in it.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what I can do with regards to tints etc?

I want to avoid the chavy look (like my old corsa) but do want to modfy it.

Black mirrors? How dark should I get tints? Any ideas would be great! :D

Lol!

It was in the spoiler. Merely because it is technically finished, and i had tiger seal with me to possibly stick it on. But the craftsmanship was awful, and thus i want to attempt it again. I've decided i'm going to plasti-dip it. As i'm tired of sanding/priming/painting it now. Really am, so taking the easy way out and getting it stuck on! So by Stanford it'll be on!

Aha. The bet was with Tom/@Ysidfa. And its until MITCar, so i haven't lost yet. Plenty of time!

And thanks Mr & Mrs Ttjet. Didn't realise it was your red GP there until i got home and looked at the photo's. I remember standing on the banking when i took over from Dom parking and thinking "Who's is the red GP with Abarth rears on". Looked nice and slick. Your photo's don't do it as much justice as it is in the flesh.

Yeah, would be good to see you at more events :)

We are looking into 'ideas' to see if we can address that issue of not knowing who was who. The name badges work, but when people don't collect theres, it can be a bit hit and miss. Usually people around the tent are 90% FF members :) I don't know who is who half the time, thats the beauty of it all :D
 
And the sun's back out and so are the swirl marks. They look ridiculous, ruins the car. Needs claying again already too. And my bumper is lower on one side because it wasn't refitted properly. Oh and I need a new timing belt (overdue). Did I mention there's a knocking noise (probably drop links) but then again i've not checked that either. Brakes need cleaning, they're grinding to high heaven. That, and the fact that my handbrake is loose. Oh and when I went to check the drop links, i scratched my wheels with the bolt tool thing. ****, did I mention I have a huge chip on my alloy too?

At the minute, I could quite happily get rid and get something older that will probably fall to bits but at least the bumper will be straight. I need some motivation to sort the car out but i feel i'v spent far too much for what, a car that's lowered with refurbed wheels and a splitter.
 
this is such a nice car mate, i've got a red mk2b and you've given me a few inspirations for that ;)

Get the problems sorted with the car and keep enjoying it, you've put too much money in this and it looks too good to let it go to waste

They look great, bang 'em on!

They do make the A pillar a bugger to see round though.

you sit too close to the wheel :p


to pull the boy racer/ chav look off you have to have your seat like a sun lounger and have one hand on the top of the wheel ;p

Hhahaha yeah!

I just think with the half bodged front splitter, it would look too much. Oh well will give it a try. Will sell them if need be ;)

yeah its just i think the grande punto is becoming a chavvy car due to its price and age now.

yeah theres still the corsa crew (i used to be one ;)) but i see some utterly vile puntos about now with the massive sunstrips and metal petrol cap covers etc.
