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

I quite liked them before I clicked on the enlarged photos, the darkened back grounds do look good compared to standard but the chrome detailing is bit chavtacular when you enlarge the photos.
 
doesnt look bad :) i prefer the abarth ones myself, but IMO its an improvement.

thanks. ill be honest i prefer these but i think thats more to do with the cost of abarths.


plus after some research my dads done these lights will be better for my next plan.

they look different in real life not massively but the chrome is nowhere near as noticeable.

the halos are dim mind but the rest of the bulbs are really bright.

Did you tell the insurance about headlights out of interest?
Just wondering cause you talked alot about insurance with your wheels.

I think they are ok, the two tiny lights at the top look a little odd though.

You where talking about a silver grill. I was at Fiat showroom the other day and a lot of the puntos had a silver grill.

went to declare them and they werent interested.

if id have said for the value of the wheels the price i was actually payng rather than the price new from fiat i probably wouldnt have had the £200 extra fee to put them on so will try that in feb.

aye theyre led sidelights. look good lit up though.

yeah my top grill as standard is a silvery anthracite colour.

going for a powdercoated zunsport grill though at some point.
 
cant make judgement on the lights because my eyes cant see past the fact you have put a forum sticker slap bang on the middle/front of your car.

why?

been there for ages. seemed a good idea at the time

Cool and the gang

take it you think theyre chavvy then? fair enough

Rolf. Why buy a new grille and get it powder coated, when you could remove the current one and spray it yourself? save yourself a laod of money, and grilles dont really help performance.


because i like how they look. not going to help performance at all i just think it will look nice. i like the merkur grills but including postage and vat they are over £200 and imo not worth it so can get a zunsport for £155 inc postage and recon ill be looking at about £25 ish for powdercoating
