Grande Punto rolfs thread

Introduction

Yes i previously had a mm thread but hadn't really done anything to the gp well that and i made an arse of myself.

Custom reg plates

Planned mods (subject to change due to current lack of a job):


Blue sidelights

I.C.E setup (yet to be decided)

Merkur or Zunsport grill (painted black)

16 or 17" OZ Michelangelo 8 alloys (size dependant on weight) to be painted with purple chrme rim and gloss black spokes at a later date

few more ideas in the pipeline again.

in the process of confirming with my insurance if alloys will cost extra.

in the mean time have some show plates on the way:Picture 2.png



wheel idea:

black mjet wheel with purple lip.jpgcar with black m jet alloys with purle lip.jpg


and looking into costing for getting my mirror caps sprayed purple to match my stripes.
 
Looks good Karl....Trouble is there's some Hippy stood in front of it! ;)

Hippy, hippy!.... thats a lad with a Afgan hound sitting on his head!!

getting really tempted by these:

think £130 for a steering wheel is a bit rich though.

gear knobs £50 an all:eek:


looked into the sporting steering wheel but the cost of fitting is extortionate.
 
I wouldnt recommend the steering wheel, you will have serious airbag problems......

aye like no airbag at all.


ive looked into this.

just about convinced me ma to let me get the alloys so will keep pestering her tomorrow so she phones the insurance.

i know they will cover them at no cost because they told me. but she wants proof.

Steering wheel is nice rest is gash.

Without an airbag wont your insurance go up plus you will get an airbag warning light with no airbag fitted :p guess you would have to unplug the airbag ECU aswell.


dunno that much to be honest.

as much as i like it my common sense says no especially with my driving (que adam).

ill ask my dealer again though and if they wont do it ill ask my bdyshop. and see how much id be looking at to get a sporting steering wheel fitted.

all my dealer told me last time was it was expensive (think he just wanted rid of me to be honest).
