Hey guys! As you can see i'm new here.
So basically, the middle of october i passed my test. Got myself a 99 zetec 1.25, a day later my friend flipped it in the lanes and wrote it off. Was a lovely engine and i miss the power it gave. it cost £1100.
A week later, my friend paid up, and we went to see an 02 plate Punto Active 1.2 8v, 5 dr, gun metal grey. It was beautiful. 65k miles, immaculate condition.. i had to have it, and for £1350 it was a bargain.
So now a month down the line, after finding out im coming into some money soon, im looking into making it "my" punto. The engine is lovely, unless there're more than two people in the car including the driver.
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to modding, so bare with me!
I'm not looking to spend much, but i've been looking into;
Secondly, would any performance mods be worth it? The only ones i've been looking at is a full induction system and a full sports exhaust system. I need input on this because im not sure whether the price ill pay for the power will be worth it, as i've heard i'd only get about 65bhp? For close to £600 alone then that's not really worht it.
Things you need to know - I'm from Wales = Speed bumps, potholes, icy etc. And i don't want it to stick out, i just want it to look different.
I found this picture in another thread, i'm looking to make it look similar to this, maybe bigger alloys?;
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys.

I'm not looking to spend much, but i've been looking into;
- Alloys (15", 16" or 17"? What tyres?)
- Lowering (By how much?)
- Speaker system (What size speakers do i need for a full replacement? Do subs work well in this model?)
- And are any body modifications worth it? I was thinking of getting some of the windows tinted, and if they make a huge difference then maybe an inconspicuous body kit, i dont want it looking like a chav racer!
