i thought its illegal to tint whole windshield

Stretch tyres are style over function
I like nice fitting tyres with quality rubber

Absolutely, apart from looking totally ridiculous, they are an accident wiating to happen, like most ricers.

If you stretch with moderation (ie. fitting a 195 tyre to a 7.5" rim), it'll actually improve handling on your car, providing sharper turn-in and better steering feel.

No, it wont. , it will simply look silly and be dangerous.

It is here in the UK, Dragger was in Turkey I have no idea what their laws are regarding tinting.

Yes it will. It makes perfect sense as well. Please note that I am talking very moderate stretching - not fitting a 165/50 on a 15x7 like some people are crazy enough to do. The optimum tyre size for a 7.5" wide rim is 215, fitting a 195 is hardly a stretch, and the reason why it improves feedback and better turn in, is simply because a lightly stretched sidewall is stiffer. If you search around a bit, I even know you can find TÜV certificates for fitting 195/45-15s to a 15x8" rim.

But let's stick to the topic here - Punto Styling..

Each to their own, but it will not improve 'handling' - it is simply a bad styling fad. It makes perfect sense to not bother. . There is enough innacurate information on youtube and other forums.

[Thingthingz]

You need a petty sizable ignition fed wire to each seat

 

[Thingthingz]

Are you interested in doing a step by step guide for me? Im not expecting you too but i would appreciate it bud as no one else has :/

 

[Thingthingz]

So i have wired up my seats and they are so warm! It was easier than what i thought it would be

 

[brinker]

You should solder that up - or at least wrap it nicely around the wire and then just wrap in some electrical tape, rather than that power splitter, or whatever they're called in English.. Terrible, high resistance connection.

Anyway, here's a quick shot of my car when I test fitted my new summer wheels today.

I like your deep dish ? and yeah it doesnt look like that now hah that was in the middle of wiring it into my cigarette lighter, it is all neat and safe now ?

 

[Thingthingz]

Yeah heated seats out of a alfa 147, and yes safe i have a inline fuse and relays so i dont forget about them and they stay on so when my ignition is off my seats turn off automatically and there is a on/off button on the seat also

 

[Thingthingz]

I have just ordered my momo pedals, wind deflectors and de-badged grill so i will be fitting them when they arrive also i will be ordering a better set of door and boot speakers soon!

 

[Punto Sutty]

I fancy new speakers too. Which ones are you getting?

Sutty.

 

[Thingthingz]

Im not too sure yet, its an easy jib to do so its worth doing, i need to find out the size of the speakers first and go from there, my speakers are sounding worse for ware as they are passed they're days haha

 

[brinker]

Front door speakers are 6.5" - get the speaker adaptors available on eBay around 30£, they're worth it. Have Focal PS 165 FX in mine, though added an mdf spacer as well. The mounting depth is somewhat limited (read it to be 49mm as far as I recall).
Boot speakers are 4" - I've just removed mine, can't be bothered to replace them.
