Grande Punto Si-Punto's Grande Punto Sporting M-Jet

Introduction

Right I figured it was about time I got some pictures of the GP up on the forum.

The details of the car are as follows:
2007 (07) Grande Punto Sporting 1.9 Multi-Jet Turbo Diesel (M-JTD FTW :slayer: ) in Crossover Black with a skyroof (no other optional extras though :eek: )

Here he is the day I picked him up from the dealers:

And here are a few shots I took en-route to Newcastle for work last week:

Despite the adverse weather yesterday morning I managed to dig the car out of the snow and make it to the RR day @ Red Dot:

Finally a couple of shots of it on the rollers:

Augusto showing me how it's done :eek: :

Lets just say that I drove away from Watford smiling (H2DaE and Puntokris can vouch for that) :D

I need to tidy up a few more bits, give it a good polish and get some new photos up - New number plates now fitted, dealer stickers removed, Red Fiat badges awaiting fitting.

Future mods are touch and go, we shall see what happens. If I do then they will be along the lines of:
Lowering
Referbing the wheels anthracite
Tinting the rear windows
Leon Cupra R front splitter
Custom exhaust tip
... and who knows what else :eek:

Thanks for looking, any comments are more than welcome :)

Cheers,

Si
Afraid not Tom, I've defected in a different direction :eek:

Just a couple of shots I took in Avon Dassett before the GP went (back on standard springs, Sportlines are for sale, PM me :p :

Right, so I picked up the new car last Thursday but I haven't been able to drag myself out of the drivers seat long enough to give it a wash and take some proper pictures. Until I do so, I will just leave you with a little teaser:

Sticks like sh!t around the bends, pulls smoothly and quickly through the gears and puts a smile on my face every time I see/sit in and drive it :D

Just a quick snap from my phone's camera taken last night while waiting for my takeaway :eek:

Will get a proper thread up with decent pictures rather than shockingly bad ones from my phone.

Some mods planned for the future but will get into those in the Mini's thread not here.
 
Enjoy it :)

Not a fan of them personally dont feel that quick to me when ive been out in ours and i think the dash must be cheaper to make than the GPs lol
 
Cheers Matt (y)

Dont understand the rattles in a BM' but they do have a very stiff chassis (which I love) :D

Being s/charged the power is very linear so doesn't slap you in the face but the speedo whips round pretty damn quick.
