Grande Punto rolfs thread

[JFL]

not a grande punto... but can you not get somthing like this rolf??? much more classy and belongs on a fiat not a 96 corsa :yuck:

 

[JFL]

my black and blue momo one is nicer

wouldnt fit in with the bravo interior me doesnt think...

do they do it in vimto?

 

[dannygp]

that was kind of what i was intending to get but im happy for £20. better than the crappy plastic one which looked worse. might buy some leather and make my own yet.

For the sake of this thread....do it!


My plastic handbrake cover has never bothered me. Fills in the hole nicely

go back to standard.... or get somthing even from halfords that will look nicer

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_253695_langId_-1_categoryId_165454

the plastic is shameful. looks nasty and feels it. whilst the laether could be a lot better its still better than standard

ill see if i can buy some leather at some point and make some.

double fail

:shakehead:

that leather is so 80's

 

[pk090]

reminds me of the gaiters on my dads m reg vauxhall chavilier (cavalier) lol.

 

[grande bolt]

That handbrake is high Rolf Mines about half the height!

The gaiters look cheap imo

you could use it as a cheap arm rest lol

[Vimto Rolf]

Regardless of whatever the first 69 pages of this thread say, this car is coming along nicely

I'd have to agree.

 

[Tris Harris]

in fairness, its not his car that is getting slated really, its more the im going to get this and that- rather than ive bought this and that and here it is fitted...

his car is ok in the metal (although i still think the angel eyes make it look a bit retarded...imo), looks as if it is looked after (ie polished etc) more than the average car on the road so Kudos where they're due!

Needs wheels and lowered though

and at leat your honest.


plus it DEFINITELY needs alloys and lowered and some decent tyres.

got quite a few things in mind especially after yesterday. so its now which i sort first.


oh and for those that are interested dont paint badges unless you can get them really cheap off ebay or the like. it isnt cost effective at all.

ie:

badges = £25 the pair
paint= (when you can get it in the uk about £4 a tin) including postage £30
lacquer= (i used a liter in total) £10

including time to sand, let coats cure, masking etc


total cost £65 minimum i estimate nearer £70 though

 

[Tris Harris]

That's crazy Carl... least you had the guts to keep them on for Stanford though- i'd have taken the front one off!
