Grande Punto rolfs thread

[flexywozere]

Your GP's lookin tidy mate! I havent seen the decals you mentioned yet but i would say that is a big no no (prove me wrong by all means!), will make it look takky as fcuk. Wudnt look good with blue sidelights either . The alloys should set it off nicely but would advice against 17s as could mess up gearbox on a 1.2 but if u want the look at risk of doin that then thats hairy muff mate!

In general im liking your shoppin list but dont go OTT with the purple and make it look takky...will be a shame on a gorgeous GP

Im not meaning to sound rude or offensive, and good locuk with the mods and stuff.... but was does your mum think of you doing this to her car?

i mean... whats she gonna look like when she turns upto her coffee mornings in a car with purple wheels and all the other bits you are doing to it

Back 3 windows tinted limo black and max legal tint on front 3

you can tick half that off the list... your front windows are tinted from factory with the max you can legally have

oh, and no offence, but it doesnt sound like the car is gonna look very good.. you seem to just be sticking all sorts of ebay tat that you can get your hands on to it... e.g footwell neons.
although... we;ve all been there

"im not daft enough to leave my reg on"

you know you can run that aux lead under the head unit to come out by your cup holders much better position IMO so you can leave an mp3 player or whatever in there and still have access to it so you can change songs

coming along nicely.

thought about taking the punto badge off the back?

good start there Rolf,

Don't get Vimto logo's though.

thanks tris.

i was gonna get some small ones made up and possibly put them in the number plate border.

i could always look into them sponsoring me :chin: doubt they would though :thumd:

it is miles brighter at night looks like a black light.

and i think someone who made a thread about how he couldnt afford abarth lights can shh

she doesnt mind. in fact shes pleased i take pride in it and even agreed to the wheels im getting when i showed her a photoshop obrooks did for me. after perviously saying no to alloys.

as far as im aware the gps arent tinted at all or at least dont look tinted. none taken. dont see whats wrong with leds, neons are tat hence why i dont use them.

and a disco ball hanging from the rear view mirror!

i know about the aux lead but left it through the glovebox as currently haven't passed so is easier to use as a passenger.

tbh hadn't really thought about it . had contemplated painting it though. but still got to paint my other badges (been too cold lately for the paint).

You talk about tinting the front three windows...

The WindSCREEN must have 0 tint. NO tint allowed.
Front two must pass 75% of visible light. which is a lot, only the lightest of tints is allowed and as mentioned before im pretty sure the punto already has nearly that.

 

[beany_bot]

First things first carl, get some wheels! and get it lowered. then you will probably need to calibrate your speedo but im sure this can be done easily but dont ask me how.

or just get a wheel and trye combination with the same rolling radius as his steelies.

right ok i knew the windscreen couldnt be tinted i was looking into limo black rear 3 windows and a light tint on the front side windows and quaterlights. but i think ill play it safe and just get the rears tinted

First things first carl, get some wheels! and get it lowered. then you will probably need to calibrate your speedo but im sure this can be done easily but dont ask me how.

the plan is to sort my wheels sort lowering and then just work my way through the list.

the bad news is. with a current lack of a job it will be june - july before i can afford the wheels

or just get a wheel and trye combination with the same rolling radius as his steelies.

this is the plan

Your quite lucky, my mum wouldnt let me touch her car!

She won't even put me on the insurance now

as long as i pay for the mods and pay the difference in insurance when i can she doesnt mind.

my premium has just dropped anyhow dunno by how much but according to my ma quite a bit as it was £850 after dropping from the original quote of £1200
