Grande Punto New Member - 06 Grande Punto 1.3D Multijet Owner.

[brooks1985]

Just thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Ben, I have just bought myself an 06 Grande Punto, 1.3D Multijet in Black.

Second car I have owned.

The engine management light was on so the dealership that I bought it from took it to my local Fiat, they are in the process of replacing the faulty turbo.

Can anyone recommend a few of the more stylish mods that I can make to my new car?

Would also like to make a few modifications under the hood like an induction kit and new filters, also babe a chip, do you have any recommendations?

Any help, much appreciated.

This is my new car, I will take some other pics once I have it back

Hey, welcome to the forum!

You have a nice base there for the start of some subtle, yet stylish changes. OEM+ is the best look in my book. Original, but with some added extra original. Being a black model getting some Abarth headlights and rear lights would really set this off. The chrome lights on the black model are just a bit 'in your face' i find, Abarths will set it off. The most important mod IMO for GP's is lowering. The most common/effective way is getting springs, Eibach Sportlines are the most commonly used (i do too). Just removes that unsightly arch gap which is seriously big. Maybe a change of alloy, to some original sporting ones, i'm a big fan of the twin fork ones, although the series 2 solid spokes are just as good (more popular).

Other possibilities include;
- Tint rear 3 windows
- Debadge front grill
- Debadge rear 'Punto'

Soooo many options. Depends what takes your fancy, and suits your taste. Have fun with it, and remember less is more (i think)

Hello and welcome to the forum

 

[brooks1985]

I agree that less is more.

Few things I am going to start with.

1. Team Dynamics Monza R 17" Matt Black Alloy Wheels. (http://www.topgear.co.uk/package/create?id=1RUxGo08YyvN4dVgg5sZsNkfXRrd6AQ0aGwrebV1q1A)
2. Lowered, but not too low.
3. Paint my front calipers and rear drums black.
4. 3 back windows tinted.
5. BMC CDA Induction Kit. (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMC-CDA-Induction-Kit-FIAT-GRANDE-PUNTO-1-3-Multijet-/271021146738)
6. Diesel Tuning Chip. (http://www.chipexpress.com/products/607/)
7. I like these headlights (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-Gran...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d0d823bda)
8. I also like these rear lights (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-GRAN...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4aa6bcb8f4)

Not 100% sure I want to change the lights though.

With regards to the de-badging, how do I do this or do I need to take it to a specialist?

Any help will be much appreciated.

If you are still unsure mate check the add and read the description it states "These are a direct replacement for the Fiat Grande Puntos original lamps (Except Punto evo)"
