Grande Punto Punter from Pune, India

[KedarBende]

Hi Guys let me introduce myself.

I am Kedar Bendre from Pune, India and an active member fom Team FIAT India. I own FIAT Grande Punto 1.3 90HP. :devil:

I abarthised my car Punto just to enjoy uniqueness. I will upload few photos of my car very soon.

Right now I am in Sheffield, South Yokshire, UK and I want to buy some accessories for my car. Can you please suggest me some shops for accessories and to buy break pad.

Any members from Sheffield? Lets meet if possible.

dombooth lives in Sheffield...

Best place to get OEM fiat parts is probably going to be Shop4parts in Bradford

www.shop4parts.co.uk

There is Motorhog near Doncaster (which is a beakers yard) if you need some bits that can be had off a higher spec crashed car

Dom I am not familiar with locations here. Is it closer to Sheffield? Are you planning to attend this event? If yes then we can plan accordingly. :devil:

Is it possible to fit Punto Evo's rear light to Grande Punto? I liked the design of rear lights it looks sporty as well. If we fix those rear lights to Grande Punto, can we expect and error message in MID.

Thanks for the information guys. I am in touch with one TFI member Italia-Linea from Team FIAT India who is expert in all these DIYs. If he gives me green signal then I will defiantly going to buy these evo lights for my Punt.

Then my ca will be the only ca in INDIA which will have EVO rear lights.
