Styling Styling advice for my silver grande punto

[JackBiltcliffe]

Okay, so i recently bought this:

I have a list of the usual things I want to do to this car:
De badged front grill
black vinyl front bumper
These sticker, maybe?

But top on the list is Alloys!!!
I really don't think wheel covers do this car justice, so my predicament is I want to get a new set of 17" alloy's. I've been looking around the forum at other gp's alot to see what type of alloys would suit, and if I'm honest some of the aftermarkets I've seen dont really work on this car, and then the others work really well, but when I photoshop them in it doesn't really suit my gp because of the colour and probably because it's a 5 door. I've seen a couple of silver gp on here with different alloy's who have done well, for example I think it is smokeyjoey's (sorry if I've spelt your name wrong) 5 door silver gp looks amazing. So what I'm asking really is I want your oppinion on what type of alloys would do this car justice. Do I go down the route of some fiat sporting alloys, or some after market ones and then what type? What colour?

Oh I know people will tell me to lower it, but I can't not straight away, I'll have to save up some more for the extra insurance premium...

Any comments welcome, good, bad or constructive.
Thank You.

Put some sporting alloys on it then leave it alone. The gp looks great as it is and can only be ruined by tinkering. Old man rant over.

Then again, if tinkering is your thing its often impossible to 'leave it alone', but i see what you're saying

sporting alloys will look good

Yes it was you I tried to mention in my original post, sorry I miss spelt it, I forgot what your name was and couldn't find it anymore. I am really very impressed with what you've done with your car and it definitely has inspired me to do a few similar modifications (but hopefully not dirrectly copy you and add my own twist ).
