Grande Punto RuSZ's '09 StarJet Grande Punto

[ysidfa]

Don't know what im looking forward to most. Getting the gearbox sorted or the Panda TA

Got a service booked for the end of the month, Includes a courtesy car so Im hoping I get something fun and TwinAirry

 

[RuSZ]

Service done.

They did a full check of the gearbox and fond no issues or leaks, however they found the clutch to be worn and slipping, so they have replaced that.

The Panda was such a fun little car, £15 was 3/4 of a tank in that thing! and was trying to waste it by doing 70mph in 4th on the M62 to the Trafford Centre Meet, and was still doing 65mpg!!!

Was a laugh, no doubt it wasnt good, handling was shocking, no engine power, seats were uncombfy and I couldnt lower the seat. But for the absolute basic car, it had A/C and Alloys.. Was so ****, it was good...

Hi RuSZ dont think iv ever left a comment about your car I was following it before I joined the forum it looks stunning and you deffinatly know how to clean it.

The panda looks smart better than the curtesey car i just returned lol.

Hi mate i was looking at your side repeaters and how you go about tinting them. if i was to tint mine would i need a new bulb. and also any tips on tinting spray (how to use and what to buy) thanks a lot.

 

[RuSZ]

Late reply

Just put pressure on them and push towards the front of the car. Simply pop out and spray lightly with tinting spray

Been doing little bits today.

Not everything is to everyone's liking, but oh well, my car not yours
First thing was deside stripping the car..



The next thing may be controversial with a few people but I don't mind. In keeping with my upbadging my Mk2 pinto like this;



I've now gone and EVO badge my GP. I've only used the PUNTO so its not like I'm claiming its an EVO, plus I prefer the badge, so nerrr. :nerner:

 

[SJB1985]

RuSZ looking good mate I do like the colour of your GP.

 

[gadge]

I like it! especially the rear lights are they evo too?

 

[RuSZ]

RuSZ looking good mate I done like the colour of your GP.

Cheers, one of the nicer colours in my opinion

Perfect. I put the T & N wrong way round at first so it spelt PUTNO...

TOOK 20mins to get the ****ers off.

 

[RuSZ]

Also, thanks to DAV1D for the bits

Told you it would probably pull the paint off

 

[ChrisUK]

Slightly tacky fly paper would pull fiat paint off it's s***. They think that galvanizing the hell out of everything gives them the right to have ripply effect thin paint.

Like the modern Punto letters. It's slowly morphing into an Evo .

Looks nice and clean , Not a fan of the Exhaust looks odd imo

Looks like there's a midget holding a shotgun under the car

Different though

Good to see people putting badges ON cars for a change
