Panda Panda 100HP project (cooperman style!)

Introduction

Right thought I would start a thread as there are a few mods happening to my panda and wanted somewhere to have them all in one place! I have owned my 100HP since 2010 and love it! She gets serviced at fiat evry year and had belts and water pump replaced last year. I wanted to start modding her but not go OTT as been there and done it before! Hopefully you guys like it!
So this is what I have done:

Day one cleaned!

Really happy with the way the car is coming on! The rear end is looking nice and fat, will be looking at getting a silver rear fog light bulb to balance up the lights and looking at spacers the same as Demi has to fill the arches a bit more. All 4 tyres will be getting replaced also for Toyo T1R's as got some cheap front tyres put at the mo and had enough of them!! Lesson learnt!
I was meaning a difference in terms of noise not performance. I highly doubt there will be any increase in performance, it's the noise I'm interested in :)

Forget it I would, illegal I believe, wiring and headlight unit etc isn't designed for it, and likly to cause annoyance to other road users (even if they're not quite as bad a HIDs).

I'd just fit some uprated legal xenon bulbs :)

Thats what i did just replaced with xenon bulbs! (y) still awaiting connection pipe to come in for the intake :mad:
 
New things on the Pandavan, finally done the new top connection pipe done!! Cost came out at around £50 as I had to buy another little pipe to connect the breather to the T-piece.
Hasn't made much difference to intake noise or performance but love the way it looks with the intake pipe.
Also sorted out my Insurance £405 for the year fully comp with all mods :D

Looking at maybe upgrading the front seats but looks like its going to cost around £600 to do and just trying to justify if its worth it or not at the mo! :chin:
 
Looking good man, what were the specs on the wheels? Offset and width etc? Trying to figure out what will fit on mine, guess the standard rims are 6j?

Cheers dude, they are 15 x 7j (standard is 15 x 6j) with the original size tyre 194/45 15, pcd was standard 98 and the offset was 30 done to standard spec also, only issue I had was because the wheel is for different cars the rear face was slightly to big and rubbed the front brake cailper but Gary at rimstyle.com who I got them off sorted me out spacers and longer nuts at no extra cost!!! Well worth checking out there website as it gives you all the tech spec for each wheel (y)
 
I think the Land Rover in the background will look better with that wing on the back!

It may even take off..........(y)
 
I remember an episode of Top Gear where they were trying to mod a Renault avantime to get a faster lap time round the Top Gear track and they put one of those F1 spoilers on it.

Think it added 1sec !
 
Looking at my next purchase thinking of getting a Magneti Marelli centre pipe from Shop4parts It is £92.66 + VAT part number S4P4770 (thanks to harey for the part no) just not sure if its going to make the pandavan sound a bit to boy racer, at the mo there isn't much difference with the back box unit you floor it just wonder if this will be to loud for early morning journey's to work.
Here is the link to harey vid so you can hear what it sounds like http://youtu.be/8MpxjsKhhY0 does sound really nice :D
