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.

Mods to fit/complete:

Purple calipers

Fiatforum decals

GSR

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

Purple Abarth style side stripes

Cobra Daytona seats to replace front seats

carl when you drive do you rush? when i passed i could spend a few mins just getting in out out of a parallel park or a tight spot. ill go as SLOW as i want in situations that might cause damage to my car. even if people get pissed off by it just tell them to get stuffed. you pay or road tax so you can take as long on the road as you like.

(if i was parked as your diagram i would of closed the gates spin the car next to the gaffers merc. open gates and drive out. thats if it was VERY tight)
 
unlucky Rolf, i bumped my first Punto in my first few months driving also, and it makes you feel crap.

Just remember to take your time when you do stuff, even if you've done it a million times before. No need to get complacent and/or cocky.

im not a slow driver by any means but i certainly dont rush. its more a problem of not fully concentrating at the time

my biggest problem was (although over the last month or so miles better) getting wound up to easily which then caused me to make mistakes. whereas at the moment it is just making sure im fully focused

Yeah, being fully focused is quite an important skill in driving. It might stop you making mistakes that could end up killing somebody.
