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

Steering wheels is gonna look nice sat in his room for the next 3 years.

ill either see if i can get the bodyshop to fit it when it goes in for its repair (they do airbag resets etc so if they cant do then yeah) or i have a mate that will do its (ie bugger off somewhere else and fit it then come back home so can tell parents had it professionally fitted)
 

cause i sleep like a log so have them all synchroed as its the only way to wake me up.:eek:

Carl, you have acheived f*ck all, just chatting on about you ideas, now going euro... starting to give up with the hope that your mods are gonna be something other than an air freshner, nodding dog and a boot tidy...


im not going euro at all that was just a ps i did and thought it looked good.
bodyshop was closed last sat and havent had chance to go down yet this weeks so will do that saturday.

new stripes have been made up so omce repair is done they go on.

pillar vinyl has been removed and back top grill fitted.

paint for badges is with customs.

leather steering wheel on the way, and bidding on a leather gear knob (proper sporting one) angel eye gets sorted next week so can the order my rear lights.

also contacted a chap about getting a leather gear gaiter and handbrake gaiter made up.

Have I missed something?

yep. i havent had it repaired since i bumped it in march. as going by having dne the same previously it made sense to wait and gain some more practice etc rather than getting it repaired and going out and bumping it again.

You trying to achieve this? lol

lol no bit too unoriginal for me.

sorry rolf but thats the point lee is making.. youve gone from saying youll be getting eibachs and new alloys etc etc to getting gear knobs and gaiters

oh right.

basically everything that i dont need to declare etc(or have spoken to insurer and been told not t bother declaring etc) is getting done now (ie gearknob, steering wheel, gaiters etc) whereas the stuff like alloys and lowering etc i cannot do with my current insurer so will wait till i change insures in february.

hope that makes more sense.

Awww bugger. Wish I had known, Would have told you about the full passanger side panels for a black GP. 100 sheets
 
We just all enjoy a good old bit of Rolf bashing every now and again (hence near enough 1000 posts)...
This thread has cheered me up about not doing much to my car countless times, and for that, i thank you Rolf.
